Play poker for a living? Doubt it. A great hobby to have though.

[Belok]

OP - you sound like you're 18 and dont know how to play very well.

I'd say something quick and biting like "quit poker and get a job"... but I play poker for a living and dont suck at it... so that wouldn't make much sense.

Good thing you're not the owner of the site.

Luzyfer, in all seriousness, your post belies a lack of understanding about the game in general. For one thing, variance is higher at limit than no limit. At no limit you reach the long run much quicker than you do in limit. No limit punishes poor play much more harshly and much quicker than limit. This is why people generally go broke much faster at no limit than at limit when they're not good at poker, they're reaching the long run, and quickly. Its good that you see now that poker is not for you, very few are good enough to beat it for enough to make a living, you're talking at most the top few percent of all poker players.

This post made my head hurt.

Ten hours a day playing online poker (or any poker for that matter)? Day in and day out? I'd kill myself (and others) if I had to do that.

If you can't beat NL50, you aren't very good. It's just that simple. That's not to say you can't improve, but you're naive to think you should be able to make thousands a month if you can't profitably play at this level.

And, as others have said, if you think LHE has less variance than NLHE, you're wrong in the head, brother. I can't even play LHE anymore because of the swings. It's a great game, but it's too nerve-wracking on me after the relative control I've found playing NLH.

I do tend to agree with your final conclusion, though. For the average (or even somewhat above-average) player, there are lots of easier and less stressful ways to make a good living than playing cards. There is nothing wrong with being a hobbyist -- playing the game for a living is definitely only for the few (and the masochistic if you ask me). I made peace a while ago that I can't do it, just like lots of folks couldn't do what I do for a living. Playing poker for a living requires a very specific skill-set, just like any other job. I probably can't do theirs, they probably couldn't do mine. That's what makes the world work.

stfu guys. Even if he's only breaking even during that period he's doing better than 85% of the players. He tried something and it didn't work out, good job by OP to realize he should keep poker a hobby and hopefully make a few extra bucks on the side.

I just want to call attention to OP's post count. None of these posts were in strategy forums, with the exception ambitiously titled "Can someone help me beat the NL 50 FR cash games at Party?"

good luck for whatever u going to do now.
