(Others feel free to reply but I was hoping for ADAM THE EXPERT to give his .02)

Adam, I posted this on the "leaking like a faucet" thread but after posting, I thought you might not see it there. In regards to your reply stating that you should leave when you are up:

Adam, What do you consider a winning session? And where can you draw the line and say, ok I am up enough to be worthwhile, I should leave now. For example....I am playing a $50 NL table online. Early on I win a big hand and I am up to $80. I have a few options here...

1) Stay in the game, and see what kind of cards come my way. Play my normal "A game" (tight preflop game and hit the flops aggressive when I match them).

2) Cash out my $80 and rebuy with $50 giving me $30 in the bank that is now safe. This way if I get caught in a big hand and get stuck for my $50 then I am only $20 down instead of $50.

3) Cash out and go to another table, rebuy with $50

4) Cash out and quit for the night, go to sleep that night knowing that I had a winning session, and try to do the same tomorrow.

It doesn't matter the amount $30 or $150 but if I go to bed every night, knowing that I am up for the night....I am a very happy person. I have tried all 4 of these options and I am not sure which I like best....but I am leaning towards, going to bed for the night while I am up not giving the fish a chance at taking my money back.

$50 NLHE tables aren't the only I play. I play the $100 NLHE and $25-$50 Omaha tables as well as many tourneys. I am starting to enjoy Omaha more and more as I learn. Regardless, at what limits should I cinsider a win successful and leave for the day? A certain percentage of my buy-in? Possibly a certain dollar amount, although this may vary depending on buyin and table. Any advice would be great! Thanks in advance.

In order for you to get him to respond you may have to say something like "Adam I really like your stuff, and you are the best, can I ask you a question?" stroke him a little and he'll respond....

Actually, he will respond to many questions without even asking. He loves to give his advice and I posted "for Adam" to make sure he does not miss this one. I know he will have some great advice and I was hoping that he catches this thread today because I will be playing all night tonight. Thanks.

And by the way... I have converted to a HUGE ADAM FAN....and though he may not be the best....he ranks up there pretty high.

OK, HOLIDAY'S OVER, SO THE SPECIAL HOLIDAY PROGRAM, OF
MIRCOSCOPIC LETTERS, AND NON-DOUBLE SPACING, IS OVER.

THAT'S TELLING 'EM, FLOPDANUTZ!! IF THERE IS ONE THING
THAT ADAM THE EXPERTS, IS FALSE ACCUASATIONS. I HAVE ANSERED LITERALLY DOZENS OF QUESTIONS, AND HAVE NOT
EXPECTED ANYONE, TO EVER SAY ANYTHING, MUCH LESS HAVE
TO RESORT TO "STROKEING" ME.

I DO LIKE IT, WHEN PEOPLE SEND FAN MAIL, BUT IT'S NOT

AS THOUGH I EXPECT, OR EVEN WANT, PEOPLE TO HAVE

TO FAWN OVER ME, LIKE A BOBBYSOCKSER GUSHING OVER A
PICTURE OF YOUNG FRANK SINATRA!!!


I SIMPLE, THANK YOU, YOU HAVE HELPED ME.

OR, i REALLY ENJOY YOUR HUMOR, AND HONESTY.

OR, WHILE I CANNOT STAND THE WAY YOU WRITE, I RESPECT

THAT YOU STICK TO YOUR PRINCIPLES, NOT MATTER HOW MANY

PEOPLE ARE AGAINST YOU.



HA HA HA TEE HEE HEE. AS I SAID, UNTIL YESTERDAY, I HAD

NO IDEA, OF JUST HOW "BIG" I AM, ON THIS SITE.

I GUESS THAT'S WHY THEY HAVEN'T JUST INSTALLED AN

AUTOMATIC ADAM DELEATE BUTTON!!!!


NOW, ABOUT THAT "MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR" STATUS I HAVE

REQUESTED, I WOULD LIKE ALL MY FANS, TO EMAIL THIS SITE,

OR POST, AND REQUEST THE SAME.

We really need to integrate this thread with Roy's "quitting loser" post. While Adam has a point here, I'm really more inclined to think Roy (as well as Mike C.) is advising in a direction leading to greater success in the long-run.

THIS IS OF COURSE, UNTRUE. I HAVE NEVER SAID, THAT YOU

JUST QUIT FOR THE DAY, BECAUSE YOU ARE AHEAD IN A

PARTICULAR GAME, ONLY THAT YOU QUIT THAT GAME, THEN

PLAY ANOTHER AND ANOTHER AND ANOTHER.


THERE IS NO WAY IN THE WORLD, THAT ANYONE ASSOCIATED,

WITH THE CASINO INDUSTRY, COULD EVER ADMIT, THAT

IT'S BEST TO TAKE YOUR WINS WHEN THEY COME, EVEN

IF THEY AGREED WITH IT


WHEN I WAS A DEALER, EVERYONE EXCEPT ME, USED TO

ALWAYS TRY TO CAJOL THE LIVE ONES, INTO STAYING,

NOT WANTING THE GAME TO BREAK UP


"WHERE YOU GOING, GAME'S NOT OVER YET"

HEY, YOU'VE WON $500, WHY NOT GO FOR A THOUSAND"


YOU CAN'T LEAVE, YOU WON'T KNOW HOW THE GAME TURNS

OUT" AND MANY OTHER BULLSHIRT EXPRESSIONS.



IT IS AN EMOTIONAL AND FINANCIAL DISASTER, TO EVER GO

FROM COMFORTABLY AHEAD, TO BEHIND, AND THIS IS

NEVER CORRECT.

"STAY AS LONG AS THE GAME IS GOOD" IS THE ADVICE GIVEN

BY THE "STAYSTERS" BUT, THEY FAIL TO MENTION, THAT

ONE OF THE CRITERIA FOR THE GAME BEING GOOD, IS THAT

YOU ARE WINNING.

THE INSTANT THINGS START TO GO AGAINST YOU, AND YOU

HAVE A NICE PROTIT, YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT LEAVING

THAT GAME.

AND, WHEN IT'S PROVEN THAT YOU ARE GETTING YOUR

BUTT KICKED, YOU AUTOMATICALLY LEAVE.



THE ACTUAL FORMULA, IS MORE COMPLICATED THAN

THAT, BUT THE BASIC IDEA, IS COMPLETLY SOUND,

AND ANYONE ATTEMPTING TO REFUTE IT, IS (most likely) A

PUPPET OF THE CASINO INDUSTRY


"YOU PLAY, YOU WIN, YOU QUIT"-YOU PLAY AGAIN.



NOTE: THERE ARE A FEW EXCEPTIONS TO MY RULE,

BUT IT IS VERY RARE, THAT THE GAME CONDITIONS ARE

SOOOOOOO GOOD, THAT YOU CAN IGNORE THE FACT THAT

YOU'VE GONE FROM NICELY AHEAD, TO EVEN OR BEHIND.


BUT THESE ARE VERY VERY RARE INDEED, AND USUALLY

INVOLVE POT OR NO LIMIT GAMES (REAL NO LIMIT, NOT

INTERNET NO LIMIT) WHERE SOMEONE IS JUST THROWING

THEIR MONEY AWAY, AND YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN A TON.


THE OTHER NIGHT, UP HERE IN 'LASKA, THERE WAS A 5-30

SPREAD LIMIT (CHOICE OF HOW MUCH TO BET, WITHIN THE

PERSCRIBED LIMIT) DEALER'S CHOICE GAME.

YOU CAN PICK HOLD EM, OR OMAHA HIGH, WHEN IT'S YOUR

BUTTON.

THIS ONE PLAYER, WAS RAISING AND RERAISING, WITHOUT

EVEN LOOKING AT HIS CARDS.


THERE ONCE WAS, AT THE BICYCLE CLUB (NOW POOLISHLY

CHANGED TO "BICYCLE CASINO" A 150-300 STUD GAME, WHERE

THIS GUY IN A WHITE SUIT, WAS RAISING EVERY HAND, AND

BETTING THE WHOLE WAY, WITHOUT EVER LOOKING AT HIS

CARDS!!! QUITE A SITE! HE HAD TWO BODYGAURDS STANDING

BEHIND HIM, AND WAS TIPPING THE PORTERS $100, EVEN

GIVING OUT $100 CHIPS, TO SOME OF THE PEOPLE ON THE

RAIL. HE WENT THROUGH A BRIEFCASE OF $200,000, THEN

PROCEEDED TO HAVE ON OF HIS BODYGAURDS GO AND

GET ANOTHER 200 BIG ONES.


NOW, ADAM THE EXPERT WAS NOT PLAYING THIS GAME, AS

I GOT THERE LATE, AND THE BOARD TO GET INTO THIS GAME,

WAS LIKE 17 NAMES. PEOPLE WERE FORMING CONSORTIUMS,

AND POOLING THEIR MONEY, TO DESPERATELY TRY TO GET

IN.


AND, AMAZINGLY, THE GUY WANTED TO JACK UP THE GAME,

TO AN EVEN BIGGER LIMIT!!! BUT, THE PLAYERS THERE,

DIDN'T WANT TO.


NOW, IF ADAM THE EXPERT HAD ARRIVED EARLY ENOUGH, TO

GET A SEAT IN THIS GAME, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED,

HE WOULD HAVE STAYED UNTIL THIS GUY QUIT, OR WENT

BUSTED.


IT WAS JUST TOO GOOD OF AN OPPONTUNITY, ONE THAT

WOULD NEVER OCCUR AGAIN, IN A MILLION YEARS.

AND THAT, IS THE POINT I MAKE, WITH MY PLAY, WIN, QUIT

CONCEPT.


HELLO!! HELLO!!


"STAYSTERS" DON'T YOU REALIZE, THAT IN MOST PLACES,

THERE ARE GOOD GAMES, 24 HOURS A DAY, 365 DAYS A YEAR!!

WHY SHOULDN'T YOU JUST TAKE YOUR WIN, THERE WILL

ALWAYS BE ANOTHER GAME, THEN ANOTHER, THEN ANOTHER.


THERE IS NO WAY IN THE WORLD, THAT ADAM THE EXPERT IS

JUST SAYING TO WIN A SMALL OR MEDIUM AMOUNT, THEN

QUIT AND GO "VEG" OUT FOR THE DAY (ON A REGULAR BASIS)


OF COURSE!! YOU MUST PUT IN YOUR HOURS, JUST LIKE ANY

OTHER JOB.


BUT, ESPECIALLY NOW, WITH THE ADVENT OF THE INTERNET,

THERE ARE JUST SO MANY GOOD POKER OPPORTUNITIES,

AND IT'S SO UPLIFTING, PHYSCOLOGICALLY, TO HAVE A "WIN"

THAT IT'S BETTER TO TAKE A WIN, THEN DO SOMETHING ELSE,

THEN FIND ANOTHER GAME TO PLAY, THEN IT IS TO SIT

IN THE SAME OLE DARN GAME, AND DROP BACK A PROFIT

THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN MADE.

READERS, HAVE YOU EVER ACTUALLY SEEN SOMEONE, WHO

PLAYS FOR A LIVING, AND PLAYS ACCORDING TO THE

"STAYSTERS' " VOLUME TIMES EDGE = PROFIT, STYLE?


ADAM THE EXPERT HAS, AND THEY ARE AMOUNG THE MOST

MISERABLE, CYCNICAL PEOPLE, ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH

PLAYING POKER, CORRECTLY, IS THE MOST BORING, FRUSTRATING

MISERABLE ACTIVITY, IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD

(WELL, ALMOST, I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO INSULT PEOPLE

WHO HAVE BEEN THROUGH WAR)


AS SUCH, YOU WANT TO MAKE YOUR MONEY, IN AS FEW HOURS

AS POSSIBLE, WHEN POSSIBLE

THERE WILL BE TIMES, WHEN YOU HAVE TO SIT AND PLAY,

FOR 14 HOURS, JUST TO BE EVEN, SO, IF YOU CAN SIT DOWN,

MAKE 375 BUCKS IN A 5-10 GAME, IN TWO HOURS,

GO RIGHT AHEAD, QUIT, TAKE THE KIDS TO THE ZOO,

THEN GO HOME, AND PLAY A TOURNAMENT, FINISH THAT,

SPEND SOME "FUN TIME" WITH YOUR SPOUSE,

THEN GO BACK TO A 5-10 GAME. ETC. ETC .ETC. ETC.


DON'T RUIN YOUR LIFE, BY PLAYING MORE HOURS, THAN

YOU HAVE TO, JUST BECAUSE CERTAIN FAMOUS AUTHORS,

SAY THAT IS THE WAY YOU DO IT.


IT'S NOT AS THOUGH ADAM THE EXPERT, IS THE ONLY

SUCCESSFUL PERSON, TO BELIEVE IN THIS CONCEPT.


THE MOST SUCCESSFUL PLAYER, THAT ADAM THE EXPERT

PERSONALLY KNOWS, "THE GREAT GUY, WITH THE JEWISH

SURNAME" (SORRY, CAN'T EVEN USE INITIALS, GOTTA RESPECT

HIS PRIVACY) ROY COOKE, KNOWS WHO I MEAN.


ALWAYS KNOWS THE RIGHT TIME TO QUIT, MANY TIMES WHEN

THE GAME IS STILL 'GOOD" AND HE IS not TIRED.


I ONCE SAW HIM WIN $2600 IN ONLY 25 MINUTES, IN A 20-40 HALF

KILL OMAHA GAME, THEN LEAVE.

UH, NO, THE GAME HAD NOT GOTTEN "BAD"

"GREAT GUY WITH JEWISH SURNAME" PROBABLY DECIDED

THAT IT WAS MORE IMPORTANT, TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH

HIS KID (ONLY HAD ONE, AT THE TIME, MORE NOW) THAN

IT WAS TO WIN MORE.

ALSO, HE KNOWS, THAT THE NEXT DAY, HE MIGHT HAVE TO

PLAY 30 HOURS STRAIGHT, SO WHY THE HELL NOT JUST

TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN?


NOW, $2600 IS A HELL OF A WIN, FOR A 20-40 HALF KILL GAME,

AND EVEN ADAM THE EXPERT, THE WORLD'S BIGGEST ADVOCATE

OF "TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN" WOULD HAVE STAYED, IN

ANY GAME GOOD ENOUGH TO WIN THAT MUCH, IN ONLY

25 MINUTES, BUT IF "GREAT JEWISH GUY" DID IT, THEN IT

ABSOLUTELY HAD TO BE CORRECT!!!



TRY IT MY WAY, TRY IT THEIR WAY, SEE WHICH WORKS.


THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW FOR SURE.

In those NL holdem games, the buy-in limit is artificially capped (as you surely realize). Thus, I think the higher you can get above that buy-in max, the better off you will be. You can be a total chip-bully, and when you do land a monster, you can take the other large stacks for everything they're worth. I think it depends on your style. I dabble in very Brunsonesque techniques occasionally, and have sat down with 25 bucks and walked away with 190 bucks - all because I could be the aggressive chip bully that subsequently got lots of action when I held a winning hand. Granted, there have been lots of times when I was over 100 bucks and walked out with nothing. Nevertheless, I still feel that the edge you gain when you are above the buy-in max in a NL game is a factor worth considering.

OK, A REALLY GOOD POINT, ONE THAT I WOULD HAVE MADE,

HAD I FELT LIKE MAKING A COMPLETE LIST OF THE EXCEPTIONS,

TO MY WAY OF THINKING

AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM.


THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF THE "MAXIMIM" BUY IN, IS SILLY,

INSANE, INNAPROPRIATE, AND DARN RIGHT INSULTING


(BECAUSE THEY TRY TO TELL PEOPLE THAT THEY ARE DOING

IT FOR ONE REASON, WHEN THE REAL REASON, IS FINANCIAL

GAIN)

BY THE WAY, LKP, PLEASE DON'T USE THE TERM "CHIP BULLY"


LESS, THE (EXPLITIVE DELEATED) INTERNET SITES MIGHT

ACTUALY TAKE THIS ONE STEP FURTHER, AND JUST

AUTOMATICALLY DEPOSIT ALL CHIPS THE YOU WIN, ABOVE

THE "MAXIMUM" BACK INTO YOUR ACCOUNT!!


OH, MY GOD !! ! ! WHY DID I HAVE TO GO AND SAY THAT!!!

MAJOR COMPANIES, HAVE USED ADAM THE EXPERT'S IDEAS,

WITHOUT ANY COMPENSATION, OR EVEN RECOGNITION.


BUT, YOU CAN BET 56,000,000 DOLLARS, THAT THEY

ARE ALREADY THINKING ABOUT DOING THAT, OR I WOULD

NEVER HAVE SAID IT.



BUT, IF YOU FIND YOURSELF IN A SITUATION, WHERE YOU

HAVE ACCUMULATED A VERY LARGE STACK, AND ALSO HAVE

A LIVE ONE, OR TWO, (WITH A GIANT STACK YOU MIGHT CONSIDER STAYING,

BUT ONLY BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO BUST

THE LIVE ONE, NOT BECAUSE YOU WANT TO HAVE CHIPS

TO "BULLY"

HA HA HA, PEOPLE ACTUALLY BELLIVE THAT YOU CAN

'BULLY" SOMEONE, BY PUTTING IN A HUGE AMOUNT OF

CHIPS, MORE THAN THE OTHER PLAYER CAN COVER??!!


HA HA HA HA, ONLY THE BIGGEST IDIOT IN THE WORLD,

WOULD FALL FOR THAT, KNOWING THAT HE ONLY HAS

TO CALL WHAT HE HAS, NOT WHAT YOU BET.


WELL, OK, AGAIAST TOTAL BEGINNERS, IT COULD WORK,

ON A VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY

(BY THE WAY, NO, ADAM THE EXPERT DOES NOT "CUT AND

PASTE, WHEN HE REPEATS A WORD)

LIMITED BASIS.


AND YET, THIS IS THE REASON, THAT THE INTERNET CASINOS

GIVE, FOR HAVING A "MAXIMUM" BUY IN!!!!


CASINOS, YOU MAY HAVE FOOLED THE W.P.T. WATCHER

NEWBIES, BUT YOU AIN'T A FOOLIN' ADAM THE EXPERT,

OR HIS READERS.


BUT, STILL, A GOOD POST LKP !!!


(REMEMBER THOUGH, JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE IS A

"LIVE ONE" DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY CAN'T GET LUCKY,

AND GET YOUR WHOLE GIANT STACK, BE VERY CAREFUL!!!


DON'T JUST PUT THE WHOLE THING IN, BEFORE THE FLOP!!!


SURE, ACES VRS. SMALLER PAIR, IS A 4-1 FAVORITE, BUT

IF YOU HAVE SAY, BUILT YOUR $100, INTO 700, A 20% CHANCE

TO LOSE, IS JUST TOO BIG A RISK FOR THAT KIND OF MONEY.


UNLESS, YOU ARE FINANCIALLY AND EMOTIONALLY, PREPARED

TO REALIZE THAT OVER THE LONG HAUL, YOU JUST MADE


$560 (80% OF 700) RATHER THAN YOU LOST $700


MOST PEOPLE, JUST CAN'T THINK IN THOSE TERMS ! ! ! ! !



THIS IS SOMETHING, THAT THE "VOLUME TIMES EDGE"


CROWD, JUST CAN'T SEEM TO GRASP!!


MOST PEOPLE, EVEN GOOD PLAYERS, JUST DON'T HAVE

THAT KIND OF EMOTIONAL CONTROL!!


AND THEY DON'T HAVE ADAQUATE FINANCES, TO LOOK

AT THE "LONG HAUL" EITHER !! ! !


IF YOU LOSE A GIANT STACK, TO A LIVE ONE, WITH SAY,

ACES OVER JACKS, YOU HAVE JUST LOST MORE, THAN

THE GIANT STACK!!!


NOW, YOU'RE SO DEVESTATED, THAT YOU MAY NOT

PLAY, FOR DAYS!!!

THAT BIG TOURNAMENT YOU WERE GOING TO PLAY, AFTER

THE NICE WIN THAT JUST DISSAPEARED? FORGET IT,


THE WHOLE THING, REMINDS ME OF A STAR TREK

EPHISODE ( 1966-1969, THE ONLY "TRUE" STAR TREK,

IN ADAM THE EXPERT'S OPNION)

KIRK AND McCOY AND SPOCK AND THE GANG, ARE TRANSPORTED

TO THE OLD WEST, AND ARE ABOUT TO BE FORCED, TO

BATTLE OUT THE DALTON'S IN THE "GUNFIGHT AT THE OK

CORRAL" THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE THE OLD

GUNS THEY ARE GIVEN, AND REALIZE THAT THEIR

OPPONENTS DO. IT'S CERTAIN DEATH ! ! !

THEN, SPOCK REALIZES, THAT THE ONLY WAY THAT THE

BULLETS CAN KILL THEM, IS IF THEY BELIEVE THAT

THEY DO!!!

"THE BULLETS ARE NOT REAL, THEREFOR, THEY CAN'T KILL

ME"

EVEN THE SLIGHTEST DOUBT, CAN KILL, SPOCK WARNS!!


"WHAT ABOUT US" SAYS McCOY "WE CAN'T JUST TURN OFF

OUR FEARS AND EMOTIONS, LIKE SOME MACHINE"


SO, SPOCK USES THE "VULCAN MIND MELD" AND

MAKES THEM BELIVE THAT THE BULLETS WON'T HURT

THEM, AND THEY WIN.


OK, THANKS FOR BAREING (HOW DO YOU SPELL "BAREING,

ANYWAY?) WITH ME.


THIS STORY, ILLUSTRATES THE POINT THE THE

"VOLUME TIMES EDGE" PEOPLE, JUST CAN'T GRASP!!!


ONLY THE TOUGHEST, AND MOST WELL-FINANCED

PROFESSIONALS, CAN SUFFER A MAJOR DROPBACK,

AND NOT LET IT EFFECT, THEIR PLAY, FOR QUITE A

WHILE.


THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST REASONS, I TEACH, TO

TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN.

GEE, AN ACTUAL REQUEST FOR AN ANSWER, BY A

SPECIFIC PERSON, I'M TOUCHED!!!

BUT, IF YOU ONLY FELT THAT MY ANSWER WAS WORTH

TWO CENTS, WHY DID YOU BOTHER TO ASK FOR ME?


OK ON TO THE "MEAT" OF THE ANSWER


YOU NEVER TOLD ME WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO ACHEIVE

IN POKER!!!

NO ONE EVER DOES!!!


IF YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE A FULL-TIME LIVING,

THE ANSER IS DIFFERENT, THAT IF YOU ARE JUST

TRYING TO SUPPLEMENT AN ALREADY EXISTING INCOME,

AND THAT ANSWER, IS DIFFERENT, THAN IF YOU

ARE JUST TRYING TO HAVE FUN, BUT NOT COST YOU

MONEY, AND THAT ANSWER IS DIFFERENT, THAN

IF YOU ARE PLAYING FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY,

MONEY BE DAMMNED!!!


BUT, OK, I'LL ANSWER, AS THOUGH YOU ARE HOPING

TO MAKE A LITTLE EXTRA INCOME, THROUGH INTERNET

POKER, AND DON'T HAVE TO RELY ON IT, FOR YOUR

VERY SURVIVAL


HERE IS A VERY SIMPLE FORMULA, TO DETERMINE WHEN

TO QUIT, BASED ON THE ABOVE-QUOTED GOAL:


(EXPERTS, SURE, I KNOW THIS IS NOT 100% ACCURATE,

BUT SIMPLICITY MUST SOMETIMES TAKE THE PLACE,

OF ACCURACY AND QUALITY-LOOK AT THE STEN GUN!!)


DIVIDE HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO EARN IN A MONTH, BY

THE NUMBER OF DAYS THAT YOU PLAY. THIS WILL

GIVE YOU, YOUR "DAILY WIN GOAT" (OK, IT WAS SUPPOSED

TO BE "GOAL", BUT "GOAT" WILL HAVE TO SUFFICE)


NOW, YOU MUST MAKE AN HONEST ASSESSMENT, BACKED

UP BY AT LEAST TWO MONTHS WORTH OF RECORDS,

OF WHAT IS THE RATIO BETWEEN WINNING, AND LOSING

DAYS? NOW, YOU CALCULATE HOW MUCH MONEY, OVER

YOU DAILY WIN GOAT YOU MUST WIN, EACH TIME TO OFFSET

THE LOSS, DIVIDED BY WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE TIMES

YOU WIN VRS. LOSE, AND THEIR YOU HAVE YOUR

"MAGIC DAILY WIN NUMBER"

ANYTIME YOU HAVE WON YOUR

"MAGIC WIN NUMBER" YOU MAY QUIT.

EXAMPLE: YOU HAVE ONE LOSS, FOR EVERY FIVE DAYS.

(LOSS IN THIS EXAMPLE, IS $50)

THAT EQUALS A 80-20% WIN-LOSS RATIO

SO, IN ADDITON TO YOUR DAILEY PROFIT GOAT, YOU MUST

MAKE UP 25% OF THE LOSS

25% OF $50 IS $12.50, ADDED TO YOUR DAILEY WIN GOAT

OF $50, AND $62.50 BECOMES YOUR "MAGIC WIN NUMBER"

NOW, IF YOU LOSE MORE THAN $50 ON A LOSING DAY, THIS

WILL, OF COURSE, CHANGE YOUR "MAGIC WIN NUMBER,

DRAMATICALLY"

SO, ANY TIME YOU HAVE REACHED YOUR "MAGIC WIN NUMBER"

YOU MAY QUIT.


IF YOUR SPOUSE IS READY FOR "FUN TIME"


YOU must QUIT !! ! ! ! ! ! ! !


THERE'S ALWAYS ANOTHER GAME, TOMORROW, AND

TOMORROW, AND TOMORROW,


IF YOU ARE REALLY MADE "HAPPY" BY WINNING, AND

DON'T HAVE TO WIN TO PAY YOUR BILLS,

THEN WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU EVER WANT TO

STAY, WHEN YOU HAVE ACHEIVED THIS.



HEY, FLOPDANUTZ, WHERE DO THEY HAVE $25-$50

OMAHA, ADAM THE EXPERT NEEDS TO KNOW!!!!


OOOPS, YOU PROBABLY MEANT .25-.50


WELL, I'M SORRY, BUT THE SUBJECT OF OMAHA, IS

JUST TOO COMPLICATED, FOR ME TO ANSWER YOU

HERE.


PRIVATE LESSONS MIGHT JUST BE AVAILABLE, IF

I'M ALLOWED TO SAY SUCH THINGS HERE
