Default I had my first live-poker trip a week ago, and things went pretty well.

I cashed 4/8 tournaments I played, making around $1300 in profit, and grinded the $1-1 Bally's cash tables between tournaments and made almost another $300 or so on the week. I was pretty satisfied. I didn't run good at final tables when I needed to. The fields were super soft... nothing but a bunch of geezers coming down from NY and Philly to blow their social security checks.

My tournaments were on staked bankroll.

Tournaments I played -
Bally's $55 7pm - didn't cash. Terrible structure too.
Showboat $65 11pm - didn't cash.
Showboat $65 - 2pm - chopped 4 handed for $270
Taj Mahal $65 midnight - chopped for $260, 4 ways.
Showboat 2pm - Chopped 4 way with huge chip lead, took $675.
Taj Mahal $65 midnight - Chopped 4 way for $250 each
Showboat 2pm - Didn't cash
Showboat 7pm - Didn't cash

My first Bally's cash session, I dropped $75 and gave up.
The second cash session I made $60
The third I made $175
The fourth, I made $72
My final session, I made $44.

I never really played at the cash tables for more than an hour or so at a time. The tables were super soft though. I just established a pretty tight image at a limp friendly tables and did alotta raise/c-betting. Was really all it took.

Oh, this was at Atlantic City, by the way ... if anyone couldn't figure that out.

Damn. I was hoping we would cuddle. :[

On a more serious note, fuck yeah, I don't mind staying on the couch. How far from the boardwalk are you?
