It is very doable in the winter.

Play at the Borgata and get the $39 room rate. When you get there everyday clock in at 10-20 and play your 2-4 game. for 14 hours. You will earn $28 in comp and 14 at the tables which is $42.... enough to pay for your room.

Youll need a little more money to eat tho, so here are some suggestions:

Sit in the one seat!
When people throw over a tip for the dealer, grab it tap the chip on the tip tube, but then put it in your pocket. Not only should you make a few extra dollars an hour, but the dealers will thank you for being so kind.

Order a lot of drinks, and when the waitress comes give her a single and ask for $4 back, most of them are pretty/dumb so this should work about twice a day.

Also, always offer to pass the drinks from the waitress to the players, and then when passing the tip back, palm anything over $1.

Tell people you are going to starbucks and ask if they need anything...... round the prices up when you comeback

Bring a carton of Newport, Marlboro, and Marlboro light whenever you play. pay $5 a pack on the outside and you can easily sell them for $8-10 at the table.

Finally whenever the guy next to you goes to the restroom, "accidentally" knock over his chips. When restacking, feel free to take something for your hard work!

Hope this helps..... As they say, Poker is a hard way to make an easy living [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
