Dammit! Another split pot on an Ace high straight!

**KrazyHorse** · September 2, 2004, 05:24

You had to expect that, Dave...

**KrazyHorse** · September 2, 2004, 05:25

If all you're using is a single card from your hand then you need to know that there's a good chance somebody else has an equivalent card...

**David Floyd** · September 2, 2004, 05:25

Woohoo! Won a $60 pot by outkicking Q5 with QJ!

KH, not as often as you'd think, actually.

**David Floyd** · September 2, 2004, 05:31

No, but it's not exactly unheard of. I get pissed at the really improbable things.

YES! Just took down a $292 pot with sevens full of fours. I flopped a set of 7s, then paired the board!!!!!

I got ****ed earlier on flopping a set of fours and then pairing an ace on the board.

Some ****er had an A-4 in his hand.

****.

I should really stop now. Chip count back up to $410...so...damn....addicting!

**David Floyd** · September 2, 2004, 05:53

Damn, just split a $200 pot. I had AK, he had KQ, we were all in with two kings on the board. Damn board paired on the river.

OK, final tally for the day.

Bought in $100, cashed out with $403. Net profit, $303.

Weekly profit, $683.

Gotta love the Internet - I just paid my rent in three days of "work", and I still have $60 to go celebrate

They're comparable given that my bank account is large enough (generally over 2-3k) that the fluctuations don't matter. Also, you get your money faster with this. Real jobs pay approximately 4 days after a 2 week cycle ends. The turnover time for me on this is averaging less than a week (from when I win it to when it's in my bank account).

The cost for float on a week or two weeks pay difference is really quite small.

Also, I don't think a $2k - $3k buffer is large enough, depending on on the stakes of the games you play. My best friend's brother is a veteran professional and he always kept a lot more in the bank, even when he was starting up.

I have never fallen more than 200$ from a previous high.
