Question For Matt Flynn
First of all, maybe not the correct forum (so flame away), but there is no real estate forum and I know Matt Flynn reads and posts here regularly.
Matt has made some great posts in the past about folks piling money into their 401k, academics and "other smart people" who seem allergic to getting rich. Also, Matt posted in the past about avoiding the NL 25/50 due to: A. Fears about the integrity of a game that high online. B. Concern that the BR necessary for that limit would be better utilized in buying more rentals, etc. While not the player matt is, I'm at a similar crossroads. I usually stick to NL 5/10 at prima and now party, the 2/5 at pokerroom when the casino crazies show up. I also play NL 10/20 short and full, and NL 25/50 full when games are good at prima. (sorry for the incoherence thus far), here are my questions for matt: 1. When did you decide to player higher NL (as your reg game), and what motivated you? 2. With real estate so hot in NC, is this positive EV, given the Bankroll requirements, and given you will be up against prahlad, often short, etc. 3. What type of real estate are you into? Mainly buy and hold? anything creative/informercialish? That's it. I'm getting ready to start investing in real estate on the one hand, and poker is going great on the other. I'm ripe to move up, maybe move some money over to UB, but i don't think i will for a while. Party is great, Prima is good, and I'm just mediocre. As to why I didn't just PM Matt: 1. Many posters and future investors will benefit from Matts thoughts on the Investment vs. Bankroll EV. 2. That would be kind of gay. |

Re: Question For Matt Flynn
assuming he uses good game selection, I would think that playing high stakes NL with his ability is a higher +EV option than real estate. and I dont think its very close.
not saying he should not do both, but if he had to choose, I would think poker would be a better choice. |

[/ QUOTE ] i dont really understand what you guys are talking about, you only need 100K to play the highest stake online game. if he could beat this game for even $50/hr this would obviously surpass a 100K investment in real estate. |

Re: Question For Matt Flynn
You've got 100k by now don't you? Why aren't you in the 100/200 NL game at Prima? They have a seat open right now.

[/ QUOTE ] If you are referring to the 25/50 on UB, I doubt that a single knowledgeable regular in that game would say that $100k is an ideal roll for that game, if a player is buying in full. That's plenty to take a shot, but a $50-100k downswing for a winning player in that game isn't unheard of. Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong... ML4L |

Re: Question For Matt Flynn
While I was sweating the action one day, Prahlad made the comment he was down 195k in the last month or so. So, no, not unheard of.
