Yeah I heard him say it on a podcast pretty recently. I remember him blaming online poker. Just not able to keep up.

Keep a job,,, play poker, in the long run whichever you are making more at, follow it.




From 16-18 I played poker online. Before they banned in the US. I made steady profit but it took a lot of reading and a lot of grinding. Online is purely statistical. When your playing 15 tables at a time you don't have time for much but to purely go on statistics.

I still go to the local bar every couple weeks and play. Usually end up tipping the dealer 50-60 bucks, paying for all my drinks, and 50-100 in profit. But I mostly play for fun. Most of the players are usually the same and know me by name.

Mostly they just like to gamble though while I play the odds. Easy marks.

Yeah, it can get rough sometimes. But generally speaking, I get a profit on most days.

No clue. As of right now I'm barely making minimum salary with poker. I just started. I'm not taking too many chances or playing too aggressively, I just want to make a small and steady profit of under 100$ a day. If I make more, of course, I'll take it, but it's not my goal right now. There are experienced players in the Ottawa/Gatineau area and they have been regulars for quite some time. I just started playing again after taking a decade break. I can't afford to go crazy

It's a casino. Government owned. Like most Canadian casinos. Operated by the state, for the benefit of the State. Dealers are government employees paid big salaries with full benefits, many vacation weeks and a guaranteed pension. And Just to pissed you off more, they get so much tip that they probably make a solid 50% more money on top of their government salary

damn. Looks like being a dealer is the real winner.

At this point, it sounds more like a part time job then a full career. But with bigger gambling, bigger wins or bigger loses.

Seems like a nice part time job to me :shrug:

a good dealer without a shuffling machine deals something like 40 hands in an hour.
more than that if they have a machine.
they get tipped something by the winner of virtually every hand.
they also have to smile and take the verbal abuse of all the losers though, so its not all great.

Dealers make sooooooooooooo much in tips in stupid. My one buddy who was a dealer back in the day would make over $300 a night just in tips.

About 7 years ago there was a really good live game at a bar in town. They used red chips for $1 and green chips for $5. Well some drunk asshole comes to the table and buys in for $1000 while everyone else is sitting with $100 or less in chips. The guy says "max action" every hand making every pot worth $300 (our max pot at the time could not exceed $300). He wouldn't even look at his cards half the time. He got lucky a lot and was actually winning. Out of no where he says "Fuck these green chips, I only like red chips" as he tips the dealer literally $500+ in one hand. The dealer even told the guy what he was doing and the guy refused to take the green chips back and told the dealer to keep them. I was in shock, that dealer easily made $1,500 that night.

Nice. I always thought it would be pretty fun to get my dealing license. Doesn't seem like it'd be that bad of a gig.

I know of a poker computer that can run a winning % against the best humans... if we could convert it into software that could be streamed into digital contacts we could make millions :awesome:
