It sort of is easier then poker in my opinon As long as you know the sports well enough it isn't that hard to pick up. You start with a little and build your way to the top so if you need money fast its not a good thing

the thing is with poker, i am still a winner. my winrate is low lately though, as I don't play my best because im so stressed and I hate the game.

but a low winrate means lots of variance , i can not win for a long time. and when im poor as shit thats a bad situation, and so my bankroll is tiny and it makes it way hard to make money cuz a low winrate at low limits is a bad thing.

I do want to go back to school, but I have some debts to pay off first. mainly 10k credit card bill. and I owe elky a bunch of money

I havent logged on PS in a long time but just guessing since the economy is so shit right now, a lot less donators and fish are logging on to PS. So the avg skill has gone up quite a bit. Some of them might be a lot worse then you but the avg is still higher. Just a guess.

Oh back to OP... If you're planning to still stay in poker... Clear your head first man, we all go on losing streaks, How you get out of it is all mental shit. I'm sure u knew that already, but just reminding. If you don't plan on staying with poker... i hope you have a degree or else good luck with finding a job out there...its brutal

Travis I don't know a lot about you, but I always found it amazing you made a living of poker. So what I'm reading so far is that you hate the game, but you still play? As far as what you can do besides selling drugs, which is really risky, is limited.

I'd suggest getting a normal job ,but the current economic climate isn't great. You mention you got a $10,000 credit card debt and you owe Elky money. Well why don't you just focus on trying to fix your game in poker so you can pay off the credit card debt. I'm sure Elky would understand if you explained to him you'd need time to pay of the debt.

Why don't you try freelance computer work or something you might have skills in besides poker, or you could do porn. I'm serious I remember reading that a man doing heterosexual porn could make $1,000 in a week or two weeks.

It all depends on what you are willing to do to be honest.

so ill make bout 6-800bux depending on how much i eat


In canada and every other place I have friends, the cost of mushrooms is only $5 a gram. Never ever have I paid $10 for mushrooms, and never will . But, GL with that (in my city when someone gets a big batch of mushrooms to sell, they are usually gone within the same week, people just can't get enough of it lol)

first I want to say thanks to everyone for being civil. a lot of people have strong opinions when it comes to things like playing poker for a living, and im glad to see there is no flaming going on in here.

this is my plan. funny thing is, I think deep down that when I get to the point where im able to pay off the last of my debts, I will probably have a big enough br and be winning enough that the stress would be gone and I could keep doing it. but... I think I would just like to do something simple that I can take joy out of for a living. If I could walk for a living I would do that for sure.

yeah.. there is so many mental problems that I have when I play poker. I have been dealing with debt for a long time now and it's just been so stressful for so long. I used to be so much better back when I had a clear head. really that's the main reason I want to stop, because I can't figure out how to keep my head clear but still stay motivated. I mean the game isn't even fun for me anymore it's just boring(largely because im playing at low stakes). So to keep my focus up i have to make myself care. But when I make myself care, bad beats bother me more. So it's just kinda gay. but I've never been good at making myself do things I don't actually want to do.

I can't do porn b/c I am a virgin and I have no intentions of ever having sex. otherwise that actually sounds like a good idea lol.

agreed with steve

also drugs is a good way to make money as long as you only deal pot and do it intelligently, you can like, do that to sustain yourself while clearing yourself of debts
thats prolly gonna take a while so economic climate will have bettered itself and you'll be able to get a job and then you can do that

when my job starts back up where i do traveling all over the us upgrading old technology for new technology for huge corporations like mcdonalds and walmart and stuff i could prob get you a job and you'd make a minimum of 1k a week but you trade your soul in for it. I dunno if you'd be interested in that but who knows.

btw are you really a virgin???
You're pretty when I'm drunk.
