  1. to start off, i wont have to worry about becoming homeless again if i go 100% busto cause ill be keeping my apartment in KS paid up and am now getting SSI when i never used to get SSI years ago. so even though im underrolled im somewhat protected.

    anyway i wanted to have $4000-7000 and instead im only gonna have about $2500-3000 after i pay for my plane and expenses in wichita tomorrow before i fly outta town and miscellaneous expenses, but i do get ssi of $606 on feb 1, and i dont have to be home, its automatically sent to my bank account. also ive removed almost all my money off stars cept for under $50, so i wont be playing much online for a while. while im in vegas, if im not in a stations casino (where the internet is covered when im in a comped room) i will mostly use the 2 free internet places outside the fitzgeralds and in the lobby of main st station downtown.

    but im wondering about where to play, and what to buyin for. i do know i need to stay off the VP machines and the BJ machines 100% and that has always been my downfall in the past. in fact i wanna make sure i stay off them so badly, im offering a $20 bounty to anyone who catches me at a machine and comes up in person and requests the $20 bounty. maybe this will help keep me off.

    dont know for sure where ill be playing, a lot of my play will probably be at the golden nugget, the stratosphere, wherever im staying, osheas, bills gaming hall, ceasers, eastside cannery, venetian, among others. still barred at more about 10 or so places but all the barrings took place 10-15 yrs ago, its just its a pain trying to ever lift one. i do know ill sit in michaels game sunday nite at 7pm at the imperial palace if u wanna drop in and say hi on Feb 1.

    now i have 25-30 buyins of $100 (which most bankroll managers claim is enough)--or half that amount of $200 buyins. but i highly question whether u should buyin full unless ur well capitalized. really i should be playing where the $1-2 NL buyin is only $50 instead of $100. then im in very good shape to not go broke during my stay.

    also i will have to pay for a room a few times, but ive got about 3 nites each at like 5 different places, for about 15 free rooms total in february. mostly when ill have to buy rooms is fridays and saturdays, and maybe i can get them at the plaza for $40 or less them days i gotta pay. if it was any other time of year fridays and saturdays cost even more. also some of them room offers (for example palace stations)--let me get a free room again for 3 days more than once--but i gotta wait 7 days between stays. im sure some of u can provide good advice as to how to prolong my stays without them knowing i wont be giving them action on the machines this time. (guess this will be the last of the free offers. lol)

    so due to all the free rooms, im not too stressed about the small amount of $100 or so a week i might have to take outta the bankroll on living expenses. the amount will be insignificant. i do expect to beat the game for around $25-75 a day on a bad day, and around $100-300 a day on a good day. so my bankroll should grow easily if i stay off the machines. normally i buyin for the minimum of $50 to start, if i lose it buyin for $100, then $200 and if that loses i give it up. but i seldom would lose all 3 buyins. if i get ahead more than 50% of my buyin i quit, and restart all over. this usally wins me about $500 a week playing live, but i normally throw away over $300 a week on the machines and the rest on misc expeneses. so the only way i can succeed and grow the roll is to stay off the machienes

    now my goal will be to get $10,000 together, come home to KS, and cut off my SSI, so i wont be dependent on the govt anymore, and can have my FREEDOM for once. tired of living here in govt housing, for under $200 a month. but ill be happy if i just run it up to 6k or so also. the main thing is to make sure i never get below $1000, for it would be too close to going busted.

    so which casinos do u think bring the best $1-2 NL games? anyone wanna go halves at any casinos that i can trust? (u sleep in the room 12 hours totally alone, and then i sleep in the room 12 hours totally alone) that way we can both not worry about getting killed in our sleep. much safer than 2 people sharing a room together. also ive never been to south point i guess to begin with, to avoid cab fees, i should take their free airport shuttle, and then from there start using the city bus? it does go by there i think? i hate playing at binions although its convenient if staying downtown cause their games are unreasonably tight, and cause im never still in town for the freeroll. also i hate palace station cause the NL never goes, although i do play $3-6 omaha8 there at times when staying there. at least wynn got rid of them horrible $3 chips. and also i wanna try the $40 horse tourney at green valley and get there on the right day of the week. wanna hit up the $2-7 stud game fri nites at the eastside cannery too. and santa fe also has a good $1-2 NL game easy to beat.

    any questions or advice welcome as long as it doesnt involve telling me not to come. wish i knew of any hotels u can pay like $20 and sleep by the spa or pool all day without haivng to be a guest. would work wonders if i could do that on fridays or saturdays without security throwing me out if im asleep at the pool. its gotta be somewhere i can do it legally if i pay the fee. only ballys in AC NJ lets non guests pay a fee to use the pool, all others ban non guests.
  2. Bro.. you need cliff notes or something.. Just get to the fucking point. No one is gonna read that and want to know about your personal problems. "What are good small buy in mtts and where are good 1/2 nl cash games?" Thats all you needed to say. GL not going busto. My $ is on you going broke!

    Umm.. Sure. Sign me up. I got first dibs imo.
     
  4. It sounds like you have some major issues. I dont have any advice on the 1-2 games, as I havent ever played them, but sign up for any players cards for casinos you havent been barred at. Even if you dont play you usually can come up with something(a tshirt, discount buffet,rooms etc.) Best of luck to you.
     
  5. plz dont do this

    edit: plz plz plz dont do this...i just looked through your posts and noticed you tried doing this in 2007. Be smart man....
  6. Gold Coast and South Point Casinos have very soft 1-2nl games and limit games. They also have cheap eats and easy comps and other entertainment. They have small daily tourneys too. On the strip, the Mirage has a nice 1-2nl game (wild and loose).

    On that roll, I would prolly just play 1-2nl every day and avoid the tourneys due to the rake.
  7. "still barred at more about 10 or so places but all the barrings took place 10-15 yrs ago, its just its a pain trying to ever lift one. "

    What were you banned from 10 or so casinos for? Just curious.. GL in LV.
  8. Im guessing he has a serious gambling problem considering he kept mentioning how he had to stay away from the slots. They were self bans.
  9. yeah i plan to visit south point, odd theres only 7 replies. i hate tourney rakes in vegas, and play hardly any. most are crapshoots.

  10. You just had to tell them you're from Kansas, didn't you? Thanx alot...
  11. my advice is just play poker for 12 hours everyday and stay away from everything else.
  12. It's Tony BigCharles! I think I read some of these posts over at 2+2 or allvegaspoker.com, but I remember being entertained by them a few years ago. A true degen who will always go broke, you can come play $100 hand blackjack at IP with me this weekend, and bust your bankroll before you get started!
  13. obv not gonna read that long of post. but under-rolled = save up more money or get staked. have a nice day.
     
  14. Save your money up and get a job, dude. You're 39. Work for a living like the rest of us.
  15. wtf was this shit all about?????????? anyone know any place that lets you sleep all day by the pool or spa for 20 bucks? weird
  16. bfactor in 20 years?
  17. this post is ridiculous
  18. Cocaine+Gambling problem = this clown

  19. This post makes me wanna stop playing cards... WTF is this

  20. :( Plz don't do this Tony
  21. How about instead of going to Vegas, you pay Hersch the money you owe him?
     
  22. Not cocaine. He's autistic.
     
  23. could you imagine being a hot chick in a bikini at the pool/spa and youre having a great time and then you turn around and tony bigcharles is lying on a chaise-lounge just looking at you and drooling. and then he walks up to you and asks you to rub his back.
  24. hi cds am at a motel in wichita, waiting to fly out to vegas tomorrow or saturday. u gotta remember this is a new day. 5-15 yrs ago i tipped the dealer 10-25% of the time, now i tip him 50-66% of the time. back then my roll vascillated between $500-1000 most of the time, now it vacillates from $1500-3500 most of the time. also im upping the bounty for anyone who catches me on a VP machine to $20 just to make sure i stay off them. each trip im better informed than i was on each previous trip, and know more how to make it.
