Could Tasha be taught poker to compete on the S. FL poker scene?

[pinchingyourballs]

She is uniquely privileged to live in an area with a lot of daily tournaments running so she wouldn't incur all the travel expenses that a typical grinder has to deal with. Since her bingo scam dried up and she needs money...

[MHF]

Not in a million years. The Tasha we see now is the Tasha to be seen in death, except that she will be alone pushing a shopping cart.

It is VERY difficult to turn a losing degenerate type gambler into a winning type player or advantage player. It is a "mind set" that is engrained in them that has to be deleted and re-programmed. Very few succeed.

I had some experience with this with my late partner. he was your average degen video poker player when I met him back in Phila. When he followed me to Las Vegas, I taught him what I wanted him to do, playing video poker with an advantage, using the bonus mailer as the +EV tool and he managed to do pretty well. But comparing actual results to what I calculated was expectation, I KNOW there were leaks in his game. leaks back to that degen mindset. I never said too much because we were making money and it was a supplemental thing for me.

There was a guy on another forum, a blackjack forum that was a lifelong degen gambler, everything from craps, roulette to horseracing. He took up card counting upon retiring early in his 50's and made some money, but all accounts were that any money he made from card counting AP play, he fed back into other forms of degen gambling which he could never shake. That degen gambling is a hard demon to exercise from those bitten my it. And from everything I read....THAT is Tasha. Sorry to say.

All good points, but there are a lot of degens and fish in that poker market, which makes me wonder if just a basic level of coaching in NLHE would make her +EV in tournaments. Not talking about studying solver outputs, just basics to beat loose degens and OMCs. In cash games I think it would be too hard to beat the rake.

kewlJ has also been caught in a lot of lies over time, both on this forum and elsewhere. Therefore, it is unclear if he really makes much (or anything) playing blackjack these days.

kewlJ is basically the Boy Who Cried Wolf of these AP forums. He has lied so many times that it's impossible to believe any stories he tells.

I recently put both Dawg and Singer on ignore. So I am not seeing most of what he writes unless someone quotes. And since I am his target audience, he is literally talking to himself.

Here in Las Vegas, as well as other major cities, we encounter crazy-ass street type people talking to themselves every day. What do we do with them? Ignore them. We certainly don't engage with them which is what they desire. THAT is all this Mdawg is now. A crazy nut job talking to himself...literally!

The problem with this forum is you start placing the members that show this tendency on ignore and there are very few people left. This is a forum dominated by crazy troll people.

[MDawg]

The bottom line is that you tell a lot of lies on forums. If there's info you wish to suppress in order to keep your identity a secret, simply don't post it. Fabricating stories/details makes no sense, unless you just enjoy lying on the internet, which I think you do.

It's not like you're changing names or other details which are irrelevant. For example, if you had an issue at a casino on September 3, 2024, and you claimed it was on September 1, 2024, that would be a harmless lie. However, if you added details to the incident which didn't really occur, then you're just destroying the story and turning it into a tall tale. It's amazing that you can't see the difference.

On these forums, usually there's fire where there's smoke. You have lied so many times about so many things (and not just on here) that you need to just own up to it and admit that you've had a lot of problems telling the truth on AP forums.

The biggest problem is that you get especially arrogant and condescending toward anyone who doubts your stories. You don't just lie. You get angry and nasty with anyone who questions you. That's why a lot of people have an issue with you. If it were just a matter of lying itself, it would be less of a big deal.

I'll also say that it seems very important to you that people believe you.

You seem to descend into a much darker place when you battle with people on these forums.

I wouldn't waste my time on her if she can't figure out the game by now.

This is a valid question and take.

I would be very surprised. If and only if she had a dedicated coach she might be able to beat the dailies at a casino?

We just need her on PokerStars play money.. let's do some hand reviewing and find out

I actually think most people on here are pretty normal and having some fun, except the smelly Haji Mdog and jock sniffer belly. Both are whack jobs that shouldnt be allowed within 25 miles of any elementary school

I now wonder if is NLHE so saturated with halfway decent players that it wouldn't be worth it on that particular game, but maybe Omaha and all its variants could be her game, with coaching obv. The trouble is most of the O tournaments (according to Poker Atlas) are at Seminole properties, from which she is currently banned. LOL.

I have actually tried Video Poker, just not traditional Poker.

Do you have any interest in trying real poker?

I think it is a horrible match or suggestion that she play poker. And I think you know it!

The only thing Tasha has demonstrated at all involving advantage play is some scammy re-using of bingo cards. (more of a scam than advantage play, IMO).

Poker, which admittedly I don't play and have little knowledge of, is different in that you are playing against other players, rather than the casino or "house". Tasha would get her clock cleaned. She would be the "fish" that you poker players are always looking for. Why do you want to put her through that?

[DGenBen]

If she had a real desire to do it, then sure, why not?

But absent a strong desire, no.

Doesn’t strike me as the type of person that would want to do it.

Even Quadriga who has stood up for me multiple times said what I did was by reusing old Bingo cards that already previously lost and using them to win again was cheating and not an AP move and basically I deserved to be banned from Bingo and Quadriga would have banned me too. I was stunned that Quadriga told me off on that since Quadriga usually stands up for me.

I don't know if I'll ever try real Poker as I am not into Casino games where you play against other people. :/ The Casino games I play are solo games like Slots, electronic blackjack, electronic baccarat, electronic roulette , and electronic craps.

She only needs to find low buy-in tournaments that have worse fish than herself. I believe they call it "bum hunting." I agree with DGenBen there isn't much enthusiasm on her part, so far.

This is news to me that daily tournaments are beatable. What's the typical rake on a beatable tournament?

[MHF]

Needs to stop all forms for gambling. Spend the next twenty years saving up, say, at least $200,000, to be able to ride out the usual pitfalls of retirement.

The way she exists now, anything such as simple inflation will wipe her out.
