Should I start playing poker for a living?

I have been a very successful on-line poker player for the last three years. I play Multi Table Tournaments exclusively and it has been very profitable. I currently HATE my “real full time job”, however, the security of a “real job” has kept me there. I’d like to hear some stories from people with the background and experience please.

 
 

How much money should i bring to a friendly poker game?

I’m going to attend a friendly poker game with a new group of guys from church, about 5 of us. I think they all have played poker with real money before, but not with this group. The organizer mentioned that money should be brought to the game. I was kinda suprised, thinking that this would be just for fun. I’ve played poker before, but no money was involved, but i have played black jack before with money. But then again, it wouldn’t be any fun without playing for money. So, how much $ should I bring?

 
 

What should I consider when choosing between an octagon poker table and a Texas Hold Em style table?

I want to buy a poker table or table top for my husband but know very little about the game. Which is better for playing poker at home with “the guys”? The classic poker table or the oblong Texas Hold Em style table- is it a matter of preference or does the shape of the table actually MEAN something?

 
 

should i lodge a chargeback with online casino?

I’ve played at this online casino for awhile and the way the blackjack games go is like the house has a huge edge against the player. I deposited $400. I got up to $1600 then all of a sudden im getting my a$$ kicked by the dealer. once i was up to $1600 i made my bets much larger. The dealer won 18 hands out of 20, pretty much wiped me out. does anyone know the odds of a dealer winning 12 times out of 14 times? I feel cheated and I feel the casino is rigged. should i call my bank and lodge a chargeback?

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

i’ve built a bankroll now, what should i do now, like how to play with this large amount?

if i started at a casino with 1000 dollars and ended up with 51000 dollars, what games would you play and what kind of bets would you make, me personally i would play caribbean stud 10 dollars and play if you think you will win, if you fold go to 25 if you play and lose go to 50 on ante on the next hand, if you win the first hand go back to minimum bet, if you fold the first bet go to 25 on ante and play the martingale system with the caribbean stud so when you table max (10,25,50,100,250 max) you can possibly get a big hand like 2 pair or 3 of a kind or more which i have done successfully (full house 3 times, flush 4 times, trips 4 times, pair many many times) now if i lose the max bet i’ll be down just under 450 (10+25+50+100+250+dollar bonus bet) so i go to high limit blackjack and start betting 150 and pressing to 300 600 1200 2500 then if i lose go to bacarrat at 5000 10000 and more….i’ve never went farther than 5000 on bacarrat and i guess someday my lucks gonna run out
