Hello everyone my name is Du1chmaster and i play online at Pokerstars in whatever action i feel like getting at as well as alot of live cash games and tournaments. I recently had a large MTT win on Pstars which has somewhat motivated me to pursue poker as a careeer for the near future. I am 22 years old and live in Rhode Island….only important because I live 45 minutes from Foxwoods and 1 hour from Mohegan Sun which recently started offering 8-12 PokerPro (www.PokerTek.com) tables. There are ups and downs to this computerized version of poker (ie. i like to see the cards physically being dealt, holding chips etc…) but the play is so much softer at Mohegan that it is impossible to say no.

They have small buy in sit and gos ($60 and up) but the payouts are not really worth grindin out the tournament when you could make double or triple in the same amount of time in a $1/2 NL cash games that they have running. I was playing as supplemental income until 2 or 2.5 months ago when i lost my job as a server at a decent restaurant at which point either i started playing really bad or a combination of that and cold cards or variance however you want to put it. I have devoted the past few weeks to fixing leaks in my cash game and trying to figure out when it is time to move up from $1/2 and $2/5 to $5/10 or higher and whether it is worth it or even possible. I could be completely outclassed at Foxwoods so any input from people who play there would be great. I have a sample of my sessions from the past 2 weeks to give you an idea.
