Message: [QUOTE="wanderingthehall, post: 2381662, member: 91463"] I'm actually in San Diego. I'm still in the process of checking out all of the local poker rooms. I'm willing to drive as far away as Lake Elsinore, so that gives me quite a few options. Usually, I'll play in an evening tourney. Since most of the buy-ins are so cheap, the structures are pretty crappy and play out fast. I like to stick around until 10-11 most nights. Even when I've chopped I've still had time to play. Most of the places don't have their structures online, so I'm giving everyplace a chance and getting a feel for each of the different rooms. Eventually, I will settle on 1-2 to make my poker home. The freerolls I've seen around here require a minimum number of hours of cash game play. I would actually need more saved up to play the cash games to qualify then I would to just play the cheap tournaments. I'm like you, in that I would love to play a live MTT everyday. If I didn't have to drive so far to play, I would be happy just playing my MTT and going home. Rake is so ridiculous here that I should be skipping the cash games anyways and just wait until I'm in Vegas. My husband and I have a great thing going. He loves playing video games, and I love playing poker. So, we can sit on the couch next to each other for hours each doing our own gaming, spending time with each other, and we never worry about a spouse nagging us for our hobby!! 12 hour session on my day off?? No problem!! He has reservations when it comes to how much I spend and time that I spend gambling that I could be spending with him. He's all for the way I play online, since I've built it from freerolls, but wouldn't support me making a big deposit. He doesn't enjoy poker or gambling like I do, so he won't go to a casino with me unless we're in Vegas. As far as money goes, I don't think he would be comfortable with me losing more than 200-300/mo of what I earn out of my paycheck. He also wouldn't want me giving up a day with him to play poker more than once every 2-3 months. He works until midnight on weeknights, so that actually leaves me plenty of time to sneak away and play while he's at work. :D It just means I have to skip the bigger weekend tournaments. If I were to build a bankroll that I kept separate from the rest of my finances, he wouldn't care if it was in the 1-3k range. Any more than that, and I think he would start wanting me to use it to pay off debt or put it towards a down payment for a house. [/QUOTE]
