avoid drinking when gambling if possible.

Jay you know they fund these freerolls by taking a dollar or 2 jackpot drop from each pot ?

[Sledge187]

Can't understand my posts? Guy, you asked a question and I gave an answer even a 39 year old who doesn't have $1000 and pissing it all away in 3 weeks thinking they can make it betting $15 a game and playing the lowest poker stakes in Vegas. You embarrassingly failed here, you were NEVER going to make this work unless you grew a set of fukkin balls.

Calm down TT Warrior.

[mynameismud]

freerolls are fukking nuts. crazy psychos going all-in with 3,4 suited, people calling you down with q high, etc. its not real poker imo because there are no consequences.

[greenhippo]

I couldn't understand your post cause it read like you were illiterate.
You make it seem like I am not listening to you but, I completely understand what you are saying.
It's like you want me to pack it up & head to McCarran today.
You're a typical "know it all".
And you're being presumptuous.

Asking people what they think is sufficient enough to take an en devour such as yours when it seems what you brought was no where near enough warrants it's own discussion. Considering this is your thread and what you brought seems to be a small fraction of what others are saying would be enough, it doesn't so much pertain to this thread.


Like seriously guy, can I buy a comma?

How can you say that you're other posts in the other thread don't pertain to this thread?
I get your points, thanks for the advice but guys like you can never seem to agree to disagree.
You just want me on a plane so, you can post over & over again that you were right.

Good Lucktoday Hippo.

By they way, where are you living in Vegas right now.
Where's you're Balls?
Oh yeah....Leme guess

"I don't wanna live in Vegas, I would never live like a broke dikk fukk like JV"

You've made your point, now time for the last word freak to make his final post & move on, I think I'm done with you.

Why aren't I living in Vegas? Because I have a job that takes me less than 2 months to save up what took you 39 years to. Because I have a life where I'm at with people who don't want me to leave and a job that needs me to be here. Because there is this wonderful thing called the internet that allows me to bet more money than you have to your name while sitting at my place. Because I like having a car that takes me places and not having to walk everywhere. Because I do not want to live in Vegas and be a broke dick like you betting $14 in hopes it will pay for my next beer. Absolutely pathetic.

Woah! Been gone for a bit.....and it appears we've gotten way off subject here.

Sooooo......back to the task at hand. Any word on my men's Chapa walking shoes yet???

Opie, I'm in Houston. Look out for a fellow citizen in the best state in the union and make sure he gets me a size 10.5.

Jay should try to stay in Houston next for $2700! That would be awesome. If not Houston how about Lake Charles or Kinder? Lets try to get SBR to sponsor him on this one.

You've become an absolute prikk in this thread.

Why bother to click on it when.........currently.........your only objective is to ridicule Jay?

I don't have it in me to live the month that Jay is living, but.........he'll remember this month (and the life experience) the rest of his life. Will March/2013 have any significance in your life? Or.......will it simply be yet another 30 days that pass by in the rat race most of us call life?

Generally the drop can be overlooked because it has to be fully redistributed back to the players. Obviously it adds variance (especially if the way they distribute it back is through something like a bad beat jackpot) but the advantage is you can often find ways to get more than your "fair share" back through things like freerolls and avoiding the places that repay it back in ways that will benefit the bad players.

I'm not sure when it became a bad thing for people to go all-in with hands like 3/4 suited and calling you down with q high but typically if one has to put in 25 hours of play to qualify for a freeroll it isn't going to play out like one of SBR's daily freerolls.

i can only speak from experience guy. ive never put in anytime to play a freeroll before. i just know that players in a freeroll tourney play completely different then say a $200 buy in tourney.

If it's anything like a $40 buy in or worse than you should expect endless plays like this the first few hours of the tournament.

People who play to rack up hours for a freeroll are probably not world class players who know forwards and backwards pot odds and implied odds. They do it for fun in hopes of hitting it big, mostly through shear luck.

[Nick Papageorgio]

Why not just play Jackpot drop free herbie instead of HOPING to get some of the money you chipped in back? The hopes of hitting it big i assume?

[Jayvegas420]

Jay, they way I read it, Hippo was/ is generally rooting for you like the rest of us. The whole forum feels compelled to offer suggestions because we all want to see you last as long as possible. A lot of us are dreaming, wondering what if we were Jay? What we would do differently? etc. Completely different context when you're actually doing it. I think one of the greatest aspects of this thread is how honest and raw you have been.

What plays are you liking today? Do you have any CBB plays on Thurs or Friday? BOL man.

I'm taking the Celtics tonight & I'm on Dallas Mavs. I like The Cuse to move on, at least to the next round & if the line moves like I expect it to, I'm gonna bet against Gulf Coast. When speaking with Herbie over the steak dinner he bought me (Stand up fella) I asked him what the point of a "ghost account" was. He explained that people like to have these online personas where they can almost post like or live like an alternate personality. He tried briefly to explain to me why people do this but, by the end of the conversation I still couldn't see the sense in it. I am who I am & I'm not gonna make up stories or try to present myself as someone I am not. Whether I succeed or fail here, & I can't stress this enough, I would like to do it on my own terms. The way Jayvegas wants to do it. It's hard enough to live the lives we live without having to live through someone else vicariously.
Either way I like that this thread has garnered moderate interest & when you're able to sift through all the BULL$HIT in this thread, there actually lies some sound & helpful information. For example I have learned that staying off the horses is key to surviving here on a limited BR. I learned that although I can drink & still make good bets & solid poker plays, it certainly doesn't hurt to cut down on the drinking.

Jay you know they fund these freerolls by taking a dollar or 2 jackpot drop from each pot ?

Yes. I am aware of this. When my friend was down to visit me we crunched a few numbers when we were at the poker table at the Bellagio & we figured they are raking close to $20,000.00 in jackpot rake & giving back $18,000.00.

I assume you are refering to our friend, Hippo. Like I said I am not reading his school girl posts anymore. When someone repeats themselves over & over again, just to read themselves, I find it generally wiser to take the high road.

So today was as dismal as yesterday. Donated another $50 in the poker room to accumulate a pis poor hour & a half.
Parlayed the Celtics ML with the Texas Rangers who are presently losing 9-1.
That's almost twice what I should have staked myself for the day. So, it's back to the apartment to become even better acquainted with my two esteemed friends, Lord Oscar Meyer & Sir Chef Boy R Dee!

Maybe a small payray on some hockey as I pass the HRH on the way back.

Chip & a chair bays.

Keep the faith!

I like it, pal.

Find your own voice. Fukk anyone who says you can't do it.

[High3rEl3m3nt]

Jay,

I strongly encourage you do watch my "You can do it montage." I really believe that you will pick winners after watching those videos.

[LVHerbie]

Why play poker hoping to win when you can go get a job at McDonald's for a guarantee $8 an hour?

My point was that often the promos from jackpot drop be can be postive and add to your win rate. Obviously after consideration to what is of most importance (its EV) I'll a take a relatively low variance promo (like a freeroll) over a high variance one (like a bad beat jackpot) any day.

Posting and surviving in Vegas

Unreal

Relentless

[greenhippo]

Guy is down $2k in two weeks and parlaying Spring Training MLB. Why is no one else trying to give him a kick in the ass like I am here? No amount of 'good luck guy, I'm rooting for you' or 'don't listen to anyone, do it your own way' is going to put money in his pocket. Cuse and Frogs were correct with the advice they gave him on when to push and if he doesn't he'll dwindle down to nothing, which is exactly what's going on.

And what does he do with advice that a week ago could have helped prolong his trip? Calls it school girl grade comments. Unfukinreal. Unfortunately based on his abundance of $10 parlays and roundrobins and endless losing trips to the poker table it's really no wonder why he's in the sad state he's in. Guy put zero planning into his move to a new city/state/country and has to be in the back of his mind wondering why things have gone so bad. God's sake he's relying on a poker FREEROLL tournament to save himself here......

Why do you continue to bet parlays dude? lol

You like Dallas right? They are a sharp side tonight. Go to the window and put down to win 300 on the Mavs. Please just do it man.

[LVHerbie]

Jay, I responded to your PM

[Jayvegas420]

2 tics left:

Mavs -1
Lightning
Rangers/Flyers over 5.5

&

Lightning
Rangers/Flyers over 5.5
$5 for $16

[Erock87]

Good luck Jay.

I understand you probably want to spread out your risk- but you bet $30 in 6 parlays. Why not just pick one game, and toss the $30 on it? You have a better chance of coming out ahead this way.

[Jayvegas420]

Because I would have taken one of those N.H.L. overs & would have been own $30 already.

[Jayvegas420]

But, youre right, my chances, odds would have been alot better as opposed to diversifying through 6 different parlays & 8 different results!

[Jayvegas420]

But now I have a shot to profit $17 if the Mavs don't Phuck this up!

[Jayvegas420]

I'll be watching the 2nd 1/2 over at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

[Jayvegas420]

God Damit Herbie, clean out that PM BOX.


Alright, I'll wait till you come down till I sign up for a players card.
I'll head over in 45 mins, right about 1/2 time of the Clips game.

[Jayvegas420]

See you in a bit
