Serious question:
At what point in time will you (Zy) make the decision to quit the day job (or at least cut way back on the hours) and focus on poker? I'm actually surprised that you haven't found "work" to be too expensive yet.... meaning, if you spent the same amount of time (or much less) that you currently work playing poker instead, I think you'd end up with more money at the end of the month, no? |

You know, from what I can remember in the past, your restaurant duties seem to cause a lot of stress and hinder a poker environment that you seem to excell at.
If you just made as much as JD for a year, you could own a whole fleet of restaurants......across the world.

Tl;dr
So anyway...my work schedule as of now is as follows
Monday Wednesday Thursday: Come in at 3:30-3:45, leave anywehre between 9:30 and 10:30 depending on business (we'll average this out to 10 oclock) 6.5 hrs/day Tuesday: OFF Friday: Come in 3:30-3:45, leave anywhere between 10:30 and 11:30 (occassionally later if there is a late night party, but it happens a small enough % of the time to ignore for simplicity). Averaging tha to 11 oclock, 7.5 hrs. Saturday: If there is no afternoon party Come in 3:30-3:45, leave 10:30 - 11:30. If there is an afternoon party Come in 11:30-12:00 and leave 10:30-11:30. Its hard to say how often a Sat afternoon party occurs, as we can have 5 straight weeks of them and 8 straight weeks of none. I may also leave later if there is a late night party. Hours with out a party: 7.5 . With: 11.5 Sunday: No party come in 12:30, yes party 11:30-12:00. We'll just average that out to 12:00. Leave 9:00-10:00 (average 9:30) 9 hours Total Hours: 46.5 - 50.5 (Sat party or not) Compensation: Im going to be discussing Take Home compensation (i.e after taxes) Base Salary After Taxes: $600 Extras: Between Parties, and general help during the week I make an extra $100-$900. If I had to average it out Id say an extra $300 per week is standard. The upside is this is cash. So I generally bring home 700-1500, generally closer ot the 900-1000 range This turns out to be roughly $50,000 take home (after taxes), so roughly $70,000 pre tax (keep in mind I live in NY and this isnt shit considering to buy a tiny 2 bedroom co-op cost 200k and a normal 1 floor house with a basement cost 700k+) If I broke this down into an hour rate it be something close to $20/hr net (something like $28/hr pre tax) Compare this to the dealers in the live games that make $300-$1000 a night and I wanna puke but.... So could I make better exclusively playing cards? I havent figured out hours at the table but I do have a log of live sessions (115 thus far) which will by the years end wind up being close to 3 sessions a week. IF I increased that to 5 sessions a week what would the result be? Interestingly my 2 biggest winning months of the year (this month and last month) I have logged the 3rd fewest and fewest number of sessions for the month. My only losing month this year (March) was a average # of sessions month, but my two months with the most sessions (Feb and July) have been my 4th and 2nd worst months respectively In fact when I have logged 10 or fewer sessions for the month (which I have 5 out of the 10 months so far) I have netted 5.5x the amount of money that I have netted in the 5 months that I have logged 10 or more sessions (this is all live play BTW)... so Im not 100% sure if playing more will result in winning more (although I dont see why it shouldnt if Im an overall winner) Im just rambling at this point....
