Above ev on fpdw but still losing $$
Quote: bstillmaticI have a $5000 bankroll for fpdw and I play a combination of 5c and 10c and I use my profits to pay my $800 in rent every month. Ive played about a million hands(combination of 5c and 10c) and Im about 6 sets of deuces above ev and about 3.4 royals above ev...but my bankroll is down to $3400..To make my rent I have to play 14,000hands of 5c, 7000hands of 10c or a combo of both everyday..I haven't been doing that obviously...so Im losing money because Im lazy and I need to play the required number of hands at the bare minimum or more? Im worried b/c since Im already losing money being above ev--I know Im gonna get killed if I start regressing to the mean.. On a scale from 1-10 how much trouble do u guys think Im in from going broke? tks.
Where do they have .5 and .10 FPDW? I 'm lot looking for or to play them, however I didn't know they had them anywhere anymore. Actually I can't remember ever seeing a FPDW .5, Stations had some .10

Aliante. I believe the low rent stations casinos also (Boulder, palace, fiestas) and maybe Sams Town.
Yeah you don't want to pay rent playing .05-.10 FPDW. It's like $2-$4/ hr and if you're not getting your fair share of royals you'll have months not making any $. ANY job would pay better and be less stressful. FPDW isn't a way to make a living or survive since there's only one or two places in existence where it could be played for over $10/hr (as far as I know), but it can be a good hobby that doesn't cost anything and makes a small amount of money if you enjoy it. If you had a job you could pay rent money and hopefully save up a little more with that and play 0.25 FPDW with your $5000.
In your current position Hunterhills suggestion and trying to come across any $5-$10 match plays, coupons, low roller promotions etc when you can find them are going to lower your swings and probably make more $.

Nice. We know what you spend your profits on. What will you spend your losses on? A cardboard box to live in?

I think of it more as purgatory. Assuming inflation doesn't take into effect, he always earns his EV in a form of wins every month, no health issues, etc.
You could do decent playing a higher denomination FPDW. Unfortunately they are pretty rare and few in between. In order to earn $30/hr you would have to play at a 0.76% advantage you would have to earn 3.75c/hand over 800 hands, or $5/hand. This means you would have to play 10 dime machines at once (impossible), 4 quarter machines (impossible), 2 50c machines (doable), or find a $1 machine.
This is also assuming perfect play.
I did find a quarter NSUD game that MIGHT have 1% cashback, which is pretty much like playing FPDW, but the place also sends mailers. This is probably a better option as you get the cash back no matter how good/bad you run.
