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

[MHF]

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.

In cash games I think it would be too hard to beat the rake.

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

You need a tv deal.

TWO PLAYERS REMAINING, COMPETING FOR A $500 FIRST PLACE PRIZE!

AND THEY CHOP. BINGO BANGO BONGO!!

The dailies' rakes are taken out of the initial buy-ins. They could be beatable depending on the demographics and Tasha's skill level relative to that demographic. I think low buy-in tourneys are safer for Tasha than raked cash games, especially private games, not that she would have the connections to find that kind of private action. It's all moot if she has no interest, but I will note that autists and over-represented among poker regs, and Tasha being autistic might have some hidden aptitude for this.

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.

Poker is a game of skill, you need skill to beat the variance long term. As long as she plays against recs and not solver fags, there is a chance she could do well enough at the low levels to make bingo scamming less appealing. She has certain traits that would put some players on tilt, confound others. But she would very much need to learn self-control first.

Well, I've said my piece. Agree or disagree.

Are you fucking kidding?

Tasha playing poker?

Bwa ha ha ha

The only way she'd EVER make money at a card game is by approaching the players and offering a discount to "poke her," but as an avowed asexual that door is shut.

But hey girl: go find some hot bloods in the 'hood to show you how the ho's do it and learn mad skills: good way to get that all important gamblin' money.

Hell, just ask Mammie.

[pinchingyourballs]

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?

If you live in Vegas and make a living as a professional gambler, why wouldn't you sometimes play against tourists looking to blow off money at a poker table? Is it that there are just too many regs hanging around all looking for the same fish? Genuinely curious.

It is because I don't play poker. I play blackjack for a living, not poker. I venture into a little bit of other advantage play stuff, but all of it very basic.

Also, I like beating the casinos. I have a genuine dislike of casinos. I don't think I would enjoy beating other players as much. What happens when you see some little old guy at the table that looks like he has no money and is spending his SS money and you take it from him? What happens when you see some 22 year old that looks disheveled and his cloths are kind or worn and dirty and you figure he is sleeping in his car and you take money from him. I wouldn't feel nearly as good as I do taking money from the stinking casinos.

For my money, my skill advantage must comfortably exceed the rake disadvantage.

Let's see, I think I saw some rake data earlier in the thread. Oh yes:

The dailies' rakes are taken out of the initial buy-ins.

Well, good luck at the tables!

[mickeycrimm]

They rake like 25% in the dailies. No one is going to beat the juice.

It's actually pretty remarkably amusing that UNKewlJ even continues to post, anywhere, he must realize that he's made an utter fool of himself and that everyone knows he's been lying, about a great many things. That's the nature of pathology though. It's one thing to be doubted another to be caught dead to rights. And quite another to go on pretending that anyone believes a word you have to say.

[jdaewoo]

Why isn't this retard pretending to be a high roller?

Maybe she could write a book on poker.

[MisterV]

Maybe she could write a book on poker.

Or another short story.

This time instead of having a gay Axel Rose travelling through time have a bevy of left-handed lisping Lakota lesbians begging their "casino friends" to be staked; of course they'll blush then shake hands and thank their benefacrors.

Actually that staking gives me a good idea.

She could pull a scam like they did in the Producers & sell more than 100% of herself and then lose out of the money deliberately.

Speaking of The Producers Movie, I remember thinking,"What idiotic Producers wanted their play to be a FLOP? On another Website, other Posters questioned WHY did the Producers want their play to be a FLOP?" Other Posters replied something like,"The Producers didn't ACTUALLY have the money to pay their cast Members. A FLOP would mean that the Cast Members wouldn't be getting paid since the play was a FLOP and they would be fine with not being paid since the play LOST money and didn't earn enough money. A HIT means that the Cast Members would be expecting to be paid, which the Producers don't have the mobey to pay them. In real life The Producers would be facing Lawsuits for not paying their Cast Members when the play was a HIT." Makes sense.

Somebody once said something like “Close but no cigar”

In the film the Producers, they didn’t make the money by saying something like “We won’t pay the cast members”

Instead they said something like “If we sell more than 100% of our play ‘something like 2000% of our play’ then our play flops we will make something like 20 times our money back which is something like a lot more than they could make for just a normal profitable play.”

So an example would be something like a normal play might cost something like $1 Million to produce & if it succeeds it might make something like $3 million in profit. And once they reimbursed their investors then their own profit would be something like a lot less than $3 Million.

But in the film they said something like “If we sold 2000% of the play that would be something like $20 Million of investor money & if it flops we don’t have to pay any of it back and that would be something like $19 million profit.”

That was the actual plot, or something like it.

Okay, that also makes sense. For some reason the Posters that answered had us thinking it was about The Producers not having money to pay the Cast Members.

[Tasha]

I JUST went to Google and looked up," Why did The Producers want the play to flop?" And the answer was something like," They wanted the play to flop because Investors would want to be paid REALLY well for the play they invested in since it was a hit and made a lot of money. If the play is a flop, the Investors would be okay with not getting paid REALLY well because the show was a flop and lost money. I originally got,"Cast Members," confused with,"Investors."
