    More Poker

    Hey Sid, 1. I dabbled in cash games for a while, and basically have to force myself to avoid them. I tried to play them seriously for about 6 months I would say. 2. Bio's right about the 90% of hands played. You are much more playing a psychological game with your opponent, and...

    More Poker

    Bill, Well, I can agree with you on one thing--variance is high in any given heads-up match. Any given match can be lost or won, so if there is a small sample size, you could take a beating if you extrapolate data from that small sample. But, if you look over the course of hundreds--or even...

    More Poker

    Hey Jill, Actually, I don't track how many hands I play/what percentage of hands I win. I track none of my stats, other than those discussed above. I would say most plays are second nature now, rarely am I calculating any odds. You are correct in that heads-up is a completely different...

    I am by no means a poker pro, like snowbank and pokerrich, nor did I pull ESPN airtime at a WSOP final table like JScott. However, this post is more geared to some people who may have read some of the poker posts and thought to themselves that they may want to try it. Obviously, several people...

    Poker: How you can get started, succeed, and many myths and facts

    Re: Poker: How you can get started, succeed, and many myths and f Thanks for the follow up, Bill.* I especially like your reference to treating poker as a business.* It's easy to fall into a trap of playing too many hands when first starting out, and especially playing them out of position.*...

    Ok, I'm gonna make a slight change in my status. I now have a room reserved at the hotel with two beds, so anyone wishing to stay with someone else is welcome to contact me. Also, I'm still more than happy to stay in someone else's room who already has one reserved. Please let me know if you...

    Anyone still looking for someone to stay with at the hotel? It's my fault I don't have this worked out yet, but I thought I'd end up staying with a buddy, who now won't be in town. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Lines of Credit for LLC

    REAL ESTATE 
    I'm wondering what the procedure is for getting non-recourse lines of credit for an LLC. Actually, I guess I'd also like to know about recourse lines of credit as well. Are the criteria similar to getting loans as an individual? How is this affected by an LLC that at its infancy has basically...

    Working an Apartment strategy... Need Advice

    REAL ESTATE 
    Steve, Were these negative cashflow situations at the beginning of your apartment investing experience or later on after you had developed a chunk of change to work with? It seems that having negative cashflow would be somewhat more risky, or less of a margin for error, especially when one...

    Nexus - or Can I Form a NV Corp and Never Pay Taxes?

    TAXES | REGS 
    Thanks for the reply. So the double fees that would make a NV LLC authorized to do business in AZ, or any state, would be more expensive than not paying AZ state income tax because of the NV LLC?

    Nexus - or Can I Form a NV Corp and Never Pay Taxes?

    TAXES | REGS 
    I know this is slightly off-topic but I am looking for a place to start. If I live in CA and am investing in property out-of-state, what entities/structures are best to have in place to minimize taxes and maximize asset protection? I feel like I remember hearing LLCs for each individual prop...

    Quick Question for SteveO and others

    REAL ESTATE 
    I think what Steve means is that the financials may not work in the smaller apt complexes with professional management, thus investing in them would be difficult to do remotely. This problem can be alleviated if you are willing/able to self-manage the units, put more money down (30% instead of...

    How do you find the right people?

    I'm gonna go at this one from a little different angle, although I think JScott's analysis of finding good partners/people is excellent. I also want to preface my comments by saying that I have little experience building businesses/relationships in the private sector. However, I am a fireman...

    TOPIC you will speak on at the B&P GT

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I am by no means an expert on the subject, but I'd love to do some more research, and present the topic of -Developing a business plan, if JScott doesn't mind. Or, I could discuss funny fire department stories/calls which would be most entertaining.
