lol yeah I have seen some funky stuff from dubins too lol. The difference in 1st and 2nd is only $80 anyways. It's not like you get a trophy for winning the ldrboard (you should though sigh...).

zomg just sharkscoped him. He needs full RB and the win to even get close to being break even on FTP.

Brennan also plays really badly and we was pretty high up last yr. Simpleton too is just horrible.

Ok dude... there is a part of me that would take sick pleasure in watching you squirm just because you jumped into this so thoughtlessly. But if you honestly expect to 'grind' a living playing 16 33s a day you're in need of a serious wake-up call. You have NO idea how to deal with the coming downswings either emotionally or financially. You're going to go broke, get a job.

I mean we will see. I have 6 months living expenses saved up plus an online bankroll and a live bankroll. Both are pretty padded. Ill keep you guys updated. I have been playing poker for a couple years consistently. After college I moved to Vegas and lived there for about a 1 1/2 and played ALOT. Before moving to vegas I was playing at pokerstars for about 2 years. Before I completly depended on poker I had a part time job and used my poker winnings to pay my bills to see if I could do it. I did that for about 3 months and used all that money I earned from my part time job and have that in the bank. We will see what happens though. I also play live 2/3 NL and sometimes 2/5 NL about 5 times a week so that is extra income as well. The live games are so soft here in Tahoe I cant explain it. But we will see what happens. Thanks for your concern though.

I started 4 tabling you can eak by a living 1-2k if your good.

I would reallllllllly recommend that you go buy a 2nd moniter so you can easily 5-8 table if you are very serious bout this.

also expect a 0-500 month here and there.

jk, you could live off 12k-24k a year? The cost of living must be ridiculously low where you live...

A 20" monitor is essential. This is the first monitor I got and it is phenomenal, CDN prices shown, expect to pay a little more USD (haha)... http://accessories.dell.com/sna/ProductD...mp;sku=320-4687

How many non overlapping tiled pokerstars tables can you play at once with 20"? 6/9? What resolution do you need for 9?
