I have 101K, blinds just now going up to 3K/6K with 750 ante. I'm in 5th place, 8 left.Any current updates available?
just poker....its the main reason why I wanted to live there, so thats what I'm gonna do. And as long as playing online is legal, I really don't envision doing anything else to be honest.Did you ever get a job in Vegas, or are you just playing poker?
Yeah....I've learned a lot during the 4 or so years I've done this...wasn't very smart at all at first, but I've grown up a lot. Do you play at all at any of the casinos? If so let me know and maybe we'll meet up sometime.Good luck. Having been here 12 years, I know several people who have done/are doing what you are attempting. Not an easy way to make a living - stay level.
Very good friend is one of the people that deals/runs the room at the Wynn. I don't play cards - I only play Video Poker - win a lot - bummer is a lot of W-2s, but that isn't a bad tradeoff for a pocketful of cash.Yeah....I've learned a lot during the 4 or so years I've done this...wasn't very smart at all at first, but I've grown up a lot.

Thanks man.Hes extremely aggressive from the times I've played with him and definitely has a "win the tournament or go out trying" attitutude, so you probably just caught him on a bluff or something and think he sucks. However his stats definitely don't suck....$229,337 prizes$188,500 profit$148 average buy in462% ROINice tournament run, Assani. I'm surprised to see moneytree that deep. If he's the guy I'm thinking of, he is the suck.

Well, $427 technically. Was higher but I just withdrew and paid off some credit cards so for now the $427 is my bankroll for at least half the year so my goal is to continue playing with that. I don't think Ferguson had anything about the limits other than 5% at a cash table so my $20 would be fine I imagine at the .10/.25 table, would just have to look to move down if I started running bad right away which is one of my goals to focus on since previously my first move was to move up to win it back so I'm aiming to get away from doing that.Ferguson's rules are solid. Is $400 your entire poker bankroll(meaning you'd quit for a while if you lost that rather than re-deposit)? If not, then I think you can play higher than $400 would indicate. Personally I'd take a few more risks than Ferguson and I think starting at $.1/$.25 is fine...just be willing to move down if you run bad to start. Hell I've even gone with an 8 buy in rule before(meaning I'd start at $.25/$.5 with $400) but I'd only do that for the low limits and once the games got tough I'd go up to a 15-20 buy in rule to move up.
I know you asked Assani, but I thought I'd chime in here. If this is your entire BR, meaning you'd quit playing if you lost it, I'd go no less than 40BI's for a lvl. I'm a HUGE BR nit, but my risk of ruin is near zero. I find the deeper I am, the more I can play "my game" and not let any influence of the $$$ enter into any decision.But if you're willing to move down often, if need be, then 20 BI's is fine. Keep in mind that I obviously play higher than the micro limits and for anyone who can breathe and have a coherent thought, the micros (10NL-50NL) should be able to crush the games w/ little variance just playing very tight, ABC poker. I'd start at 25NL and once you get up to @ 800 or so, then start taking small shots and go from there.GL and remember to have fun!Zowned said:Well, $427 technically.
