I took my game to a more serious level in March. I went from a hobby red chip player to a green chip playing semi-pro. Purchased software, practiced more, and the big thing was, threw down the money for my Bankroll. Since playing roughly 30 sessions, my BR has increased by 40%!
I've used CVCX to play with a 1-3% ror and determined that Expectation is $60-$110 per hour depending on conditions that I play. I have made something like $185 hourly.
I know that I am well within ranges of possibilities, and that if I can continue playing a +EV game that I should.. But what about the saying:
"If you are the smartest man in the room, you need to find a new room."
I may not always be the smartest person in a casino, but regardless; I feel like I'm not creating any VALUE when playing as an AP. Will we be happy that we spent so much time grinding out a 1% edge at the end of our lives?
Think about the people we spend our time with when we go to work. They are addicts, smokers, and generally not people you would invite to dinner.
I don't, in any way, want to detract or talk down on the AP's out there who do this as a living, I'm simply looking for more direction in my life. I've completely changed my attitude on money, now viewing it as a tool only.
Zg, I always love your responses, please cross post this to the zen zone if possible.
