Its a good thing ive won 26 of the last 28 days here in san antonio because Joe Bidens inflation is getting very bad, and will get much worse once food and gas shortages start happening this winter. its awful how i destroyed my 45k roll between vegas and florida, because it would help so much if i prepaid a shit ton of food and housing costs upfront while its still somewhat less. at least here in texas we can still survive without needing to be vaccinnated to gamble. Biden isnt shipping us off in boxcars to camps just yet like Australia is planning to do if u are unvaccinnated.
after paying my rent on sept 29, i was down to only $19,300 and im happy to say that after tonights $302 poker win, im now at $24,000. reducing expenses is exceedingly tough when u dont have a friends house to live at whose got a car. i think putting in more hours, so i could win 6k a month instead of 4 to 4.5k a month would be far easier than trying to lower costs of living. increasing your income is always easier.
if i were someone who wouldve invested money wisely when i was young, and didnt have a gambling problem when i play anything other than poker, i couldve stored up a lot of bitcoin, but i have none any bitcoin i ever bought was deposited online and lost. on video blackjack online or at poker.
ive always wondered why i cannot win online and yet im a good enough player to make over 60k a year buying in $100 at $1-2 NL and PLO. the only logical reason that makes any sense is widespread and massive cheating online. others dont see it they just think its bad players getting lucky.
id rather live out in the middle of nowhere in a dilapidated house id buy for 15k, with a lot of badly needed repairs in a no crime area where no one else lives and never pay rent again, and make only 25k a year online than 50-75k live cash games in texas. would be less stressful without any bills, but its impossible to win unless u play live. this is why i fear vaccine mandates.
the only reason i can beat live games is because i dont ever sit with more than $100 unless im stuck first. if Ray wouldve done this too, he wouldnt be at home moping refusing to talk because hes got no money to go play. and yet he had $5200.
im not even sure ill get last months sales tax refunded if i dont renew my hotel and i can renew it for as low as $1344 this month which is a lot less than the $1590 plus tax i paid last month for $1850 total. and its such a horrible pain the ass to move since i sleep about 8am to 6pm im much better off just knocking my roll down a bunch of money upfront again, and paying to stay where i am.
i did look around online at Austin too and i seen a good deal on a place to live within a few blocks of the Palms poker room and quite a bit further from other rooms, but i cant really go anywhere until i settle this sales tax thing that i paid last month. every time id move id owe it all over again and thats a lot of money.
i even wrote a place on craigslist which offered to rent to me without needing proof of income as long as i passed a background check and a no prior evictions check. the no prior evictions wouldnt be an issue but i worry that my felony might present questions even though i was only 19 and had no idea what i was saying would get me in any legal trouble at all. i told the landlord in the email about my autism.
im almost out of food again too, and its unbelievable the grocery bills, and all the stores quit selling the 6 packs of oncor veal patties quite a few months ago. only the 6 packs of steaks are sold by oncor foods now.
i wish i had a friend in san antonio with a car, i get sick of playing in the same room all the time because its a $7.45 uber ride and a couple of other places id like to play are a $20 uber ride and a $33 uber ride. i dont see Ray ever having any money unless he bans himself out of hollywood once and for all like he promised he would but he doesnt want to be banned out of other ohio rooms and some other places around the country the state includes in all bans signed voluntarily.
i dont see Vince moving here either and getting rid of the bitch and lightning is far too selfish to let me live with him and drive me back and forth to the poker room with him every night, so that leaves Phoenix out too.
a person only making 20k a year can save money up much easier if he lives with friend without any expenses and plays poker with friends every night. young college age guys have it made and i was never a part of that at that age. a lot easier than i can making 55k a spending 50k on the cost of living
so its not your poker abilities that determine your success at poker. its your personal relationships and if u can avoid casino games. well ive got that half fixed now. ill never visit a casino again in my life.
even with that $4250 in free bets, i never left texas all month long to go to the casino that offered me a $250 free bet 4 times a week for the month of october. couldnt risk losing my discipline there.
even if i couldve got out of this motel and into a long term place it mightve been far less safe and it was in a mobile home park so even if id been approved it was near the wrong poker room. but i do wish i had long term housing id never have to move out of for under 1000 a month.
i know most of u have never played in an all bomb pot game every single hand but it does make it a lot easier to win consistently if u are tight enough and know what u are doing. u should be willing to try new things or you never grow at poker. lightning doesnt and thats why he dont grow.
even though certain players are assholes and want to see me lose and go broke at my table, there are some nice people higher up in charge of the place and some guys are friendly so i guess im not too unhappy. its hard to be when i am winning so many days in a row. plus i got 2 royal flushes this week. and a $25 bonus on each one.
ive asked them to raise the bomb pot $1 each hand, from $2, to $3, etc, and theyre all nits so they refuse. i just want to see how high it can go and if id survive once the bomb pots got to be $125 a hand. can we privately arrange this as a home game maybe? will Bart do it who lives up the road in Austin? all they will do is change it to a flat 5 or 10 and thats not what i want but a bomb pot going up 1 dollar every single hand.
just like how i played at the peppermill in reno when id straddle for $4 and then increase it $1 every hand til i scooped a big pot once the straddle grew to $19. here the min straddle is 4 and the max straddle is 10. so its not worth doing at all.
