^Exactly correct... as a skilled player or gamesman, you CAN NOT become emotionally involved with specific outcomes. the play remains either +EV or -EV regardless if you actually win any monies.

we call that being results oriented. While having positive results is desirable, you can not change the strategy based on those results... only on whether or not the play you made has a positive expectation.

Let me get this straight, you're in southern CAlifornia and you can't find a bookie? Me thinks you made this post to brag about your hot streak. Look, even the most arrogant of cappers (as arrogant as you) admit that hitting 60% is virtually impossible. I've won 11 bets in a row before, but over the long haul, I'm sure I'm less than 50%.

Do you mean bet with offshore books? I could but they have slow payed and outright scammed me so many times that I don't trust them anymore. Vegas books have always paid.
k, so you admit to money management issues?

Can't be done in Vegas as far as I know, btu I lvoe live betting. That's when you can get some huge middles, but like all gambling, it takes guts.

Going to bust you with my 4/7 suited. You'll never see it coming.


Tips on finding a place to live with a good school district? I checked Henderson out. Nice, what worries me is it seems so affordable. It's hot out there too, but I'm from Texas.

You can find unaffordable in Henderson, if you really look for it.

Coming from NYC, pretty much nothing in Vegas metro looks unaffordable.

BTW, I play poker with a guy whose namesake hand is 42 (suited, of course) and has done surprisingly well with it.
