    My return to poker thread.
    Finally returning to the game after blowing my entire roll multiple times online... Never playing damn online poker anymore.

    Just playing live....

    Today is my first day back. Will be playing at running Aces harness park in colombus minnesota. 2/60 spread probably, its closest game they have to no limit in minnesota and i prefer no limit. It's 1/2 blinds with a 60 max bet. (stupid law in minnesota that says max bet in poker should be 60 dollars) so highest limit games in minnesota are 30/60 ofc.

    Will begin playing professionally again soon. Can't take my job no more.

    Will update when i get back!

    60 dollar maximum? That is a gay law.

      what's the rake?

      here for even the 1/2 no limit tables there's a 10% rake up to $8/hand. impossible to overcome $10/hour in negative ev at a small limit table imho.

      good luck, keep in mind though i have probably known 10 "professional" poker players and every single one of them would've made a lot more money at a minimum wage job (or even sitting at home watching tv).

        80% of "professional" poker players probably would've made more at a 10-15$ /hr job.

          10% up to 8 bucks? Find somewhere else to play, you're getting robbed.

                I know you meant well,but it`s tabu saying good luck to a poker player.

                      I have been dying to play for the past three weeks but resisting the urge. It's getting harder to find something else to do though. Know a moment of weakness is just on the horizon.
