I'm moving to atlantic city with a $2,500 roll and was wondering what type of hourly I should expect in this game. I found out the avg. Raise pre, is about 7-10. If someone makes $15/hour at 1/2, what should they expect in this game in your best estimation? I was thinking 8-9... Thanks for your thoughts.

You are going to be making minimum wage except you are going to have 1-2 months were you don't get paid/lose a little money. Be ready

Yeah, minimum wage is what I was expecting, but that's okay, as if I do run at $8.50/hour, it should take me about 6 weeks before I reach 4k and then could take a $1,500 shot at 1/2.

Don't underestimate variance. You could end up taking as short as 1-2 wks or as long as 10-12+ weeks. And yeah, minimum wage is probably about right. Good luck!

OP nobody can answer this because we have no idea if you are any good at poker.

Log your results for several months and then you will have your answer.

This. If you are no better than the other players there your expected hourly is minus whatever the rake is. And at 1/1 I am expecting the rake will be rather high.

I mean good luck and all but you have to realize you're on the tightrope with no net and it's your 1st day in the circus. Things might work out but I wouldn't bet on it.

LoL...

My life expenses are taken care of from other income. 25-100bb buy-ins, I feel should be enough.

This is just pure gold lol.

But the rake will kill you for one. Not much profit in 1/1

Minimum wage? I'd be shocked if anyone but a perfect poker crushing robot from another dimension could pull minimum wage in a game with such high rake and likely a ton of short stacks. I'm still not really convinced any profit can be made at this level.
