Hi. New member, been back-reading a good amount of threads, seems like an overall good community here
I'm a young guy with a well paying job, so counting BJ and tourney holdem have become my recent side hustles. Unfortunately, my "local" spot (even with a fairly long drive) is Colorado, which has a $100 maximum on everything other than tourney buy ins.
I've learned to count pretty well in CO, but just can't get the stakes I'm looking for. This leaves me to having to travel if I wanna try to actually make some bank. I'm def tryna make some fat stacks, which it seems like u really just can't do with $100 max bets.
I'm pretty new to Casinos overall though. I play rated almost everywhere in CO, mostly b/c you need a players card to buy into poker tourneys. I see some posts around here talking about video poker being positive EV after u factor in comps, getting mad free rooms and shit. Is there any way I can do this playing rated BJ (or find a very good EV video poker game?) in CO? I'd like to take some weekend trips to hubs wit a bunch of BJ games to play, and having some legit comps (room, airfare?) would make this a lot more enticing.
But like I said, I frankly have no idea how players cards and casino comps and crap work. Does anyone have a link to a primer or anything that can explain this to me, or just some advice of how I could pull this off? Like I said, I'm a member of most of the biggest player cards here in CO (because I have to be to play poker), and play rated BJ a lot (most of the dealers and PCs know me by my face by now - even the big casinos are small in CO). I checked my balance one day and I had $3, which I used to buy a hot dog. How do I go about getting free rooms in Vegas or MO or PA or wherever with some better BJ opportunities?
Thx for any help playas
