Default Re: I\'m thinking of quitting my job

There were a couple of poeple posting about playing low limit stuff for a living....kinda living on a low income.

I would caution against that for a few reasons...all of which look at the medium to long term outlook on things. Notably:

1.) Effects of inflation. This includes cost of living. In Los Angeles, it was reasonably easy to find studios for $350-600 a month just five years ago. Now that is nearly impossible.

2.) Games change. As peoples interest ebbs and flows, the condisitons of the games are drastically altered. Five years ago, there were constantly outstanding $3-6 Omaha games at Commerce, Hollywood Park, and Bicycle Casino in Los Angeles. Usually 3-4 tables each. Now there are 1-2 table and while there are still abd players, they are not bad enough any longer to allow a skilled player to significantly overcome the house drop. 5 years ago, Commerce used to get 20 or more $6-12 tables a night. Now they rarely run even one. Do not expect the changes in online games to be any less drastic.
