you need to put in an insane amount of hours daily if ur gonna try to make a living @ nl25.

enough to pay your bills + still be able to move up so that you dont have to grind your soul into oblivions of depression and hate

i think nl50 is doable for a living granted you have a nice excess of money to survive like 30 buyins or something.

tbh if i was in your situation $1k is worthless to you i'd just grind with really thin br management like 10 buyins for nl25 15 for nl50 and 20 for nl100 and not let your ego kill you and put in an insane amount of hours

I think it's more the glorified "free" lifestyle than anything else. Relatively quick/easy to see returns on (compared to traditional jobs that require schooling and lots of invested time working up towards the top), with the mentality that 'anybody can do it', tends to attract the smart-but-lazy crowd looking for an easy and carefree life, but I don't think many know what they're getting into before they do.

if you understand the game, have the mental clarity to keep cool under stress, and have a bankroll - poker can be a great way to make a living. and not that hard if you look at it objectively.


but i have only 1 of those 3 things right now

travis i remember seeing the thread where you raped gus hansen for some crazy # of buyins long ago, keep hanging in there, maybe do some meditation, take some xanex to cool your emotions or something.

Generally, doing something useful for society (like a job) will get you money.

Also Poker doesn't "make money". It just moves it around between people but with no added value (maybe you can argue it provides entertainment to people who watch it on tv bu that is all I can think of).

Get a job. Stop playing poker. Be a man.

man, FUCK POKER. I can't even convey how much bullshit my life is right now. There are just so many factors that have come together to screw me in the perfect ways to make my situation a steaming pile of shit. I admit, I have made many mistakes. But I KNOW I PLAY WELL and i still just RUN SO BAD FOR SO LONG, CHRIST. I can't do this shit anymore. I need another way to make money. But I don't know how. I need to come up with something.

I'm telling you guys, you have no idea the shit I have gone through the last few years. I don't understand why I can't just FUCKING WIN FOR A WHILE GOD DAMNIT. EVERY FUCKING DAY. HONESTLY.

I would trade this shit in for an honest job with a wage slightly above the poverty line in a heartbeat. If there is a god I am convinced he must love me a lot, sexually. And he must have a huge cock.


GOD DAMNIT FUCK FUCKING CHRIST


LOL

U PLAY WELL BUT U LOSE EVERY DAY!

wow you must be SO UNLUCKY!!!

edit: now i remember why u blocked me on msn lol
why so 진지해?

thanks for being a dick instead of making any effort towards being understanding
or even just not saying anything at all

u've been going through this for years now, get a grip and do something other than poker

whiners do not deserve 'understanding' especially given the amount of opportunities you've had

you're slightly mentally derranged, which is great sometimes and bad sometimes. in the case of poker it's really bad.

man up, become a mad scientist or something
why so 진지해?
