i've played better players but you're a good player who can win, no doubt. maybe ramp up the aggression a little? (like 'cuse said, "i'd raise there...") but imo (and i've played a decent amount of live poker) you're a solid player. also idk how weak your pool is compared to what you call "city" casinos where there are higher levels (2/5, 5/10, 10/10) that the better players will gravitate to?
the last time i was at ct i was playing some very tough players for the 1/2 level, mostly because there was no bigger game going yet.

Hi Shayne and great to hear from you!
Your cash out minus buy in formula is basically what happens anyway with regard to tax liabilities.
Yes, I've been working on becoming more aggressive, particularly pre-flop. The problem is learning how to play against other good players post-flop. As an aside, identifying previous players I have gone up against and their tendencies has never been one of my strong points. Nowadays this gets even worse with the covid precautions because everyone wears a mask, coupled with the increased difficulty of seeing them thru curved plexiglass shields.
My thinking is that the player pools will soften up when the covid restrictions are lessened. Then we will see the return of the casual/recreational player who has so far been afraid to venture out.
Any inside word on when your local Hollywood Casino at Penn National Races might open up again?
