I could live on $2500 a month with out a much problem. Mind you, I'm not even concidering quitting my job right now. But even though I'm still very much a newb at this whole pokerz thing $2500 a month is pretty easy even while I'm still figuring out what the hell I'm doing. I think if I was playing as much as I work i'd make that in just Rb and boni. My biggest problem is I dont have a lot of time to play and every month I have to pull out $1200 from my bankroll so I can pay bills. Makes building a bankroll tough when you're continueally canabalizing it. Really looking forward to FPP cash in next month

Make sure you're smart like me, and quit your job with no bankroll, savings, etc.

Then you can stress out every single day.

See, that's smart. I'm in such a stupid situation with this right now.

I mean, all I had was an $8/hr job that made me want to kill myself, and I was in school last year, so I quit my job in January, since I make more at poker, and wanted to focus more on school.

I also had 1/4 the expenses I have now. But the issue is that I couldn't find anything more than a min-wage type job until I figure out wtf I really want to do with my life, so poker is my best option right now.

For me, going to get a job wouldn't make things easier. I'd be making LESS money. So basically, I have to deal with the swings, and the stress, etc, until I can build something up. If I go through $3000 downswings at 3/6 and 5/10 every other month, I won't get there very fast, lol, if ever.

So that's why you all moved up. Pros. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I like maintaining my amateur status and working my 9-5 that's guaranteed income. Why? Cuz I'm a sissy.

lol, he plays tightly? He's one of the bigger lag/spewtards I know. He just decides he's gonna go nuts on certain hands for no specific reason. Not as bad as Chuck, but close enough.

I dont have PT on my laptop now to know his exact stats, but he'll sit there and fold for 3 orbits in a full game and then just bust out with some stupid cold cap, like 58os.

I raised in UTG+1, Beaver 3 bet next in and he cold capped on the button. 58os>AA>KK
