*****The Hunt for Green October Cash Thread*****

[LuckyChippy]

Because of the way wages increase. If you start off with a career right out of college, you can be making real money to do w/e you want with your life whether it's raising/supporting a family, going on sick vacations, etc. when you're in your 30s whereas if you start a career at 40 you'll be starting to get old/not as valuable right when you could be actually making some real money.

That said it's also really important to better your life in ways other than just school/get good job/etc. you've gotta enjoy life and there's no point in making money if you're not gonna spend it. Being really boring/having no friends/etc. for being rich when you're 50 isn't typically a very good choice in life. But I know people who had no life in HS/college and are now working 60 hours/week at super stressful jobs. Sure they probably make more money than me over the course of their lives but who cares when your life sucks that much?

All of this.

I understand the exponential increase of wages but I intend to be making a lot of money regardless of what point I start, whether for myself or someone else. I know I have the ability to pull it off. And to be honest it's always been quite far down my list anyway. Always has. I was the kid at Christmas who got offered a £100 budget and only managed to spend £20. I guess It's a positive.


Whatever happens I won't be trading 60 hours a week for money I have no time to spend and a coronary at 55.

if i decided to torture myself by playing a live MTT at foxwoods sometime in the next month, would anyone wanna buy a piece? i'd probably do a $200 or $300 event. i've been super bored lately and figure i might make a trip out there and have some fun. selling some % would be sweet because it would motivate me to play well and stay invested rather than punting my stack after i lose AA<KK for 80% of my chips right before money bubble

 

[LuckyChippy]

I will buy $1. This is a reflection on my confidence in your ability.

 

[hackmeplz]

Only if you let me finally meet you

Busted. No idea what place but I was pretty disappointed with the structure. 30 minute blinds, but obv fewer hands/hr, plus I wasn't accounting for how slow hands got once the levels increased.

Didn't really run too good - 90% of my bets post flop were bluffs because I was just never hitting anything, but I was getting a lot respect early. The two times I made what I thought were value bets I got called down by river suckouts, so oh well for that plan

I was mostly just kind of annoyed - went out after just two hours, so not much bang for my buck (shut up, $200 is relatively a lot to me). At the 2 hour mark, starting stack was worth 20 bb, and I had just lost a couple pots so I was just over 10 bb. Shoved AQo one hand got all folds, and an orbit later I shoved QTo into KK. GG me ^.^

Kinda wish I'd just put my money on a cash game tbh, though I'm glad I had the experience. It was a lot of fun once I stopped being so nervous after the first hour.

Weird thing was, 7 of the people at my table knew each other already... Seems pretty reg-filled, weirdly enough. Not sure if I got a shitty table draw or what, but cash games def where the money's at. Not too many people "gambling" in a $200 tournament on a Monday at noon I guess compared to cash tables at 7pm on a Friday.

 

[vanquish]

o snap which tourney did you play/where?


i can't believe i've been playing live cash games since age 18 and still have never played a live donkament

I think the big rush to be setup by the time your 30 is that you've got more freedom to try and do whatever you want before you get tied down with a family, mortgage and other bad stuff like that

The Law School thing i've kind of always wanted to do, but in all honestly, if I get offered my dream job (CIA/FBI Counter Terrorism Intelligence Analyst), I'd obv be taking that instead of anything else.


As for t-14, I just want to see if I score 165+, those 4 are just the 4 schools I visited over the summer to get a feel for things.

I could get you this job as a civ working for the Army (assuming you have 8 years experience doing it already in the military of course).

Seriously though those jobs are hard to come by without prior CI military experience.

Come to the hotel from work,read about work yall are downing my ass out. I would take 10% of you in a $200 bi donkament van.Start a thread.

Yep once antes kick in it slows down as there is always at least one who has to be reminded 2-3 times to ante-up.

Yep a Monday afternoon will be 95% regs. Hit the Friday night, Saturday or Sunday nooner for more 'casual' players.

Ditto just for the lolz of what your donkament recap would look like

 

[cardriverx]

Haven't been here in a while but giving cash a shot. Got a good roll for 10nl ($450), good spirits, got some DC vids and ready to crush.

Also, since we're talking about future jobs, I am a freshman college student probably looking to become an actuary because they make bank plus it's not stressful at all.

 

[vanquish]

actuarial exams are super tough



@JB: i'll make a thread when i come up with a date, but thanks for expressing interest, i'll keep you in mind

 

[TylerN]

Don't they have higher buy ins?

I'll take action, hopefully it's not too much hassle to transfer.
