So I had to stop off in Chicago before I make my way to South Florida to start playing live and I got some time in at the local casino in Hammond IN. I broke even in cash, but then I spiked this

and 135k was mine. I rounded out the month by bagging another 3-4k at the tables for about a 140k month which is insane. Adjustments from online have been ridiculously easy and simple so far. I'm confident in my decision to go live pro at the moment and it has only been confirmed by the hours I've put in so far. The nuances of live I can deal with, and the same goes for the annoyances. Online players often site things like pace of play, live chat, and commutes as reasons not to play. These things for me pale in comparison to things like constant buttoning, hit n' running, EXTREME bumhunting tactics, scripting, players denying action, 40bbing, having to live out of country, waiting for cashouts, sites running off with money, paying vig on my money to cash it out from some sites, waiting list times, etc etc. Anyways I'm very happy with my decision at the moment and I do hope that online becomes legal and regulated in the US so I can start playing again soon, as I don't plan on playing online again in its current state.
