patience can't be overvalued.

if you've got a plane to catch, try slots. same likelihood of success.

better players rely on the same law of large numbers that casino's do. in the short run it's all about luck. but play long enough against a weaker player and the result is inevitable.

stop thinking of it as gambling and look at it as chess for money mixed with psychology.

i wouldn't recommend it as a career for anyone but it's an entertaining distraction.

nothing is better than sitting at an online table filled with bad players complaining the site is rigged yet unable to walk away from an allegedly fixed game before they're broke.

that's the level of opponent you want.

it's rewarding on more than a financial level.

that's when I hit the sportsbook to wager on races more out there. don't want to start a table game, as might not have the time to follow thru. go to the racebook, get a drf and play the various tracks, to kill some time until you have to go to the airport.

although, some of the daily poker tourneys in vegas are good. blinds go up rapidly, so entire tourney takes 60-120 min (with breaks!!!). Longest one I played in, made it to the final table and took about 2 1/4 hours and all of them I've played in give a 10-15 min break each hour. Most were in the 90 min range and I've cashed at a very large percentage of them.

Did you just bluff lowcar??

Keep up the good work. I took a major nap this evening, I might give the Feurgeson a shot. Nothing big tonight.
