Lost My Job, Plan on playing at canterbury

[melac]

so i lost my job last week (Im an electronics technician}

And now i think i will play at canterbury for the time being. My experiences there have been amazing i have played 21 times there in the last 4 months and never had a losing session. I play 4/8 lhe and i cant believe how much easier it is than online. 2 years ago i was doing well online but now i cant seem to win so I will be at cbury. Maybe i will see Schnieds again lol. So if anyone plays at Cbury can you tell me how the 6/12 plays compared to the 4/8 thx

Quck question. You don't want to get an interm job(like a b.s. job) to hold you over for a bit while you play some cards? You are going to be playing for a living now so you'll be pushing a lot harder to make money. I myself have played 4/8 at a bunch of casinos and its not that hard and even considered a beginners game. You'll have to play minimum 8/16-10/20 LHE to make bare minimum standards if you have a mortgage/ rent to pay.

right now i have about 300 in expenses every month not too much but i am looking for a job also . i think that from what i have seen this is a very modest amount and should be no problem at 4/8 if i play fri,sat, and mebbe some thursdays and sundays

What about getting a job that pays you $150 every two weeks? Like a Wal Mart or something(not trying to play you). How big is your bankroll too? Can it cover travelling expenses? Do you play for a couple of hours? Some times I'll play limit, get cracked on a hand and will have to work a table for hours up hours. Same for every form of poker, but this is especially true when you play live. There's going to be times you don't get a hand for hours. The sessions that you played were just for fun and a little extra cash. Now you are playing for the real thing. Much different. Compeitition at 6/12 is much harder too. You ever tried higher than 4/8 just to dable? Higher than 6/12 you'll be playing with vultures. Im just saying though. I never seen you play. You can be good, so I guess you got to do what you got to do. I'd get a job. Go buy some houses in Minn and turn a profit and do poker on the side.

How is this possible?
I am currently working a project - so I got a temp apt.

Rent (heat, water paid) - $410
Electric - $20
Cable/internet - $95
Groceries - $75
Gas for car - $80

So living in a dump, no entertainment, no nothing, I am over $600 a month, not to mention insurance or anything like that.

i have roomates and thats why i only need about 300 a month and ive averaged 136$ per session (about 4-5 hrs avg some 14 hr marathons) but the competition is so soft i feel i could easily make 1500-2000 a month.

Phil Ivey couldnt sustain that winrate my friend. Im not trying to be mean, but I have run into many short term running goods who have done the same thing as you and are now busto. Please just listen to me, I understand this is an internet forum but you cannot make a living playing 4/8. No one can. You are basing your decision off a sample size that is worthless.

your sample size is way too small.

Before I read further in the post to see if OP replied, I know the answer:

rent and Mom & Dad's Free
food & Mom & Dad's Free
drinks $100
smokes $120
gas $80
car paid for

Total $300

I'll echo others--$4/8 would be OK for a temporary fun time while you look for a job. You said you can't win online and have won over short time of 21 sessions.
