What do you guys say you do for a living when you play?? Just curious what strategies you use haha Lol @ gambley algorithms.. The Canadian side of Niagara Falls? I actually live nearby and play there often. 25/50 never runs, highest game is 5/10 deep that runs friday & sat (only 1-2 tables), 10/20 runs every now and then

do you play the 5/10 or 10/20 games?

I was playing 5/10 for the past few months whenever it ran, but it dried up a little ever since they moved the poker room to the old casino. Also played a lot of 2/5 deep there, but i'm trying to focus on online now

Slot Attendants (hand pays) 0.5% to 1% Taxi Drivers 15% if they drive safely so 10 handed, dealers are supposed to get 50 an hour. seems pretty insane. i never tip more than $1 for a pot i win

Tipping every won pot is too much. I usually tip 1$ for every 40bb+ pots, and more often when I like the dealer.

its pretty common past 2/5 to just tip a dollar a pot you win as long as its the flop or later. And not tip PF unless the pot is huge and they somehow fold. Atleast thats how ive done it. 9 handed at 35 hands an hour that on average is right around 4$ an hour if ur winning ur fair share. Presumably we are doing slightly better than the average person so call it 5$ an hour

Come visit Niagara falls, Ill take you out for the the best breakfast you might have.

alrighty. i know 3 people there now. we could do a big meetup.
