With very marginal hands too.
the BR LDL PLO game is well known around the entire region for idiots playing marginal hands in huge pots
i heard the underground Lafayette game got word of it and crushed them for a few months and they had to go to limit for a while
the 5-10-25 game here is INSANELY huge. like $10k stacks are the norm with $75 double straddles every hand

I make a living at the poker table. I make about 50k/year part time.
And everyone here would most probably know me.

for me, only if you play a decent bit in LC at LDL
i only played in Nola once (Harrahs about a year ago when i started playing poker again) and haven't played in BR for like 9 years now (and back then i was limit only)

Some of you old school guys might remember "Big Game James" the circle K clerk guy who won some lotto money and blew it over 2 years at the tables...

So the poker dealers make about 50k/year at BR L'Auberge?
Posted on 6/27/17 at 5:32 pm to LSUsmartass
what dealers make seems to vary as wide as what poker players claim they make. i always hear them bitching about not making enough around here. i think full time v part time and which shift makes a huge difference

They would just check around with each other waiting for the "Bad Beat" jackpot to hit.
I got a table share of the bad beat a few times at the Beau. Best one was over $7,000 when the bad beat was at $240,000.
Best. Fold. Ever.

A few times? Did you live at the tables?
Posted on 6/27/17 at 5:49 pm to LSUsmartass
For one summer, pretty much.

I had a dealer at Argosy tell me years ago he made enough to pay for his girls college, buy a camero in cash, and live comfortably.
Argosy...not sure if he was full of shite

when i was a baby lawyer a dealer i knew drove a new yukon, owned a nice house, and had a kid
i was jelly
that same dealer tells me it's not nearly the same anymore, but that may be recency bias

I love poker threads...I could talk poker for days. I was part of Lafayette's underground back when poker was about to reach its peak.
Unfortunately I can't play for money now, except once every blue moon. I go by, if you can't afford to blow the money, you shouldn't be playing. And right now I don't have the extra to blow. Kind of ironic, back when I was in college I could "afford" it. Dont know if life was just that great and I had no worries then or I have just failed now. Its probably a combo of both.
