My personal opinion of a good win rate at $2/$5 live for a player of Kenny and / or my caliber is also about $70-$80 /hr.

This assumes that he takes it seriously which includes keeping notes and tracks his results from casino to casino, day to day and hour to hour in order to now which games are better on which days and at what times. Also so he'll know if hes dong better in caped or uncapped games.

If he goes to Vegas with a chip on his shoulder and plays as if hes the best mid stakes player in the world and doesnt put the work in, he'll probably only make $40 / hr. In other words, he'll do fine.

Kenny the games are soft enough that if you put in the hours and play well you should be moving up pretty fast, you will be playing 5/10 before you know what hit you. Also playing live you will be able to much more easily get in the hours that you sometimes had issues getting playing online. 8 hrs of online 1/2 is freakin hard, the only hard part about playing that many hours live is staying sharp. I guess I'm kinda stoked about you, MVP, and CJ being in Vegas now I have other degenerates to hang out with when I go there.

first off, good luck man. all BTPers wish u the best. your climb up in the online world has inspired many of us low-stakers. I expect you will maintain a journal on BTP? though, perhaps not as an online pro...he he.

my only advice, trust your instincts.

live it up baby!
p.s. I expect a full report on the local gentleman's clubs...

maybe in vegas in the summer, I'll have to look you up.

hilarious!
