Profit Potential - Convincing dad that poker isnt so bad

Or when you have people of different races or ethnicities or people just making assumptions. When you're a foreigner, that usually applies to you.

Chechnya became a kind of gangster state because of all the kidnapping of Russians, and Russians weren't rich. All that matters is that they might be richer than this or that guy who wanted to kidnap them. And if they weren't, a bullet to the head would solve that problem.

Mexico has huge kidnapping gangs that have sparked protests of hundreds of thousands in the streets of Mexico City. Foreigners are a favorite target.

There have been kidnappings of foreigners in the Phillipines too, even though you don't have to have much money at all to live as an expatriate in the Philippines.

It's not necessary that you have money to be kidnapped; just that people think you do.

It's the same thing when black bums on the street pass by all the Mexican and black guys in a parking lot and head straight over to me, the white guy, to beg money. Any white guy gets hit up for cash just because of assumptions, not reality.

In the newest issue of Cool Hand Magazine (you get it when you whore a Belle Rock Casino Group site) it talks about China and their emerging economy.

It also states that over 29 MILLION people make less than $100 (US) a YEAR there. From reading the article, it's somewhat obvious why the "Chinese Internet Poker Boom" hasn't happened - those fuckers are broke! LOL.

Here's a cool link I just found - http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/.../2004rank.html Although it's GDP, it would give you an idea of how much "money" a country produces so also an idea of how inexpensive it should be to live there. You can click on a country link to find out all sorts of crap about the country.

I said that huge money equities creates kidnappings( and other forms of crime)and I stand by it, but ure right that kidnapping occurs for all kinda reasons

its very possible, but im not going to run through the numbers here.. holla

[raptor517]

yes yes, you are absolutely right, i am an idiot, and as soon as i made the original post i realized it. you make a bunch of very good points here, and ill do my best to not make things more difficult on us from now on [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] holla

I'll do em then. You'd need to 6+ table though unless you are very good or don't mind working long hours.

$22 buyin.
6tabling always running 6 = 9 sngs an hour.
40 hrs a week.
25% ROI
=$1980 before rakeback
= about $2200 after rakeback.

Working 45 weeks a year, 40 hrs a week isn't my sort of thing but that's just what can be done. So it is possible to make 6 figs at the $22s, but anyone who's that serious will be playing higher limits anyway (and probally make more with less hours).

I think the best thing this shows is that if you are a fulltime player, it doesn't take long to build a BR. If you could play 250-300 sngs a week and had 35% ROI at the $5+1s and dropped 5% ROI each time you moved up it'd take just over a month to have enough to play the $215s with a 50 buyin BR (doesn't include profits from rakeback)

"There are so many places cheaper to live in than the U.S."

Yeh just be happy. Some of us live in more expensive places than the US [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] (but tax-free for gambling [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img])

I've demonstrated how one can make 6 figures in the $11s with some gorilla math myself....
