In other words.... learn how to fold.

I'm hoping I can see some cards, as I'm considering playing in the single day WSOP circuit event in Hammond the 24th.
Two years ago I was on in Vegas and got into a WSOP Bracelet event, $1500 buy in. I was crazy excited about it, but cost my focus because I was in the Rio sportsbook playing Belmont and Arlington, had P3's going while the first hands were being dealt.

I was at a table with Yung Phan and another pro, who I ended up knocking out, and I ended up lasting 6.5 hours. I caught some major hands but I ended up losing complete patience, mostly due to playing blackjack all night and not getting any sleep the night before. It was a good experience though, looking forward to doing it again.

no but i was at foxwoods 2 weekends ago, they charge 10 a hour to play 1-2 300 max..... THATS WAY TO MUCH, me and my buddy played for like 15 without a break, and were disgusted with the 300 we gave to the casino, as well as easily another 200 between us in dealer tips, and tips for drinks.

If you are PAYING to play poker, that is the most bootleg ass casino I have ever heard of. You are getting raked every hand plus an hourly vid

I don't think there's a rake at Foxwoods, just $5 pp every time they change dealers, which is every 1/2 hr.
