I had an unexpected free night last night. Amber had a sleepover with her friend Cammie (Thanks Sam!!). I was deciding between beer pong at Bill's and poker. I remembered my Friday hangover, and my commitment to play more liver poker, so I went down to Foxwoods at about 9.
I haven't played alot on weekend nights before - I have to get down there at least every other Saturday. The games are filled with drunks and people who are there expecting to lose. All I have to do is sit there and wait for them to make mistakes. It's how poker was played right after the boom started. Alot of people saw the game on TV, and figured they could play - a few years later, they were honest with themselves, realized that they were down a few thousand, and went back to the Blackjack table. The game has gotten much, much tougher since then since most of the regulars are break even, winners, or just small losers. The bad players (most of whom are alot of fun to play with) seem to come back on weekends. I wish someone had told me this before!
So I played for six hours and won $347. There are some thousand dollar sessions waiting for me on weekend nights. Here are some results for the week.
Online - 22 hours - +$251 = $11.4/hr
Live - 13 hours - +$385 = $32.1/hr
Total - 35 hours - + $636 = $18.0/hr
It's short of my $25/hr goal, but I can attribute that to too much online play and not enough live.
Pretty good start.

I've been meaning to ask you about the difference between playing during regular "banker's hours" and playing on the weekends. I guess this is it -- good job!
