Re: Pro Players...tell us your story!!!
I just started playing full time this year. Finished school in December and decided to give it a shot. It is easy to try when you have nothing to lose. at the the I had been playing .5-$1 NL on FTP and 4 tabling. I was making around $1500 to $2000 a month on the side playing 20k to 30k hands per month. I figured why not give it a shot.
I currently am PLaying $1-$2 NL and some $2-$4 NL. I am up just over 26k this year so far. This is including rakeback, bonuses, etc. I am happy with how it is going so far. I seem to be improving a lot as of recently and feel like I am ready to move up limits. I have the roll to but I am not in a hurry, I also know that I have a long way to go as a player. My goal right now is to be beating $3-$6 for over 5BB/100 NL by then end of the year. To be honest I like the lifestyle and freedom, I am also making more money than I would at anentry level job. However I am semi embarassed to tell everyone what I'm doing after college. As an online player people who know nothing about poker (most) think you're either full of it, or you are a degenerate. Obviously this isn't a huge deal to me, but It is something that bothers me about playing full time. |

Re: Pro Players...tell us your story!!!
God coached by a friend of mine 18 months ago.
Started at 10nl. Planed to move up limits after winning 20 buy ins. Spent 3 weeks at 10nl Spent 3 weeks at 25nl Spent 3 weeks at 50nl Spent almost a god damn year going betw 100nl and back to 50nl. This is when I tried a lot of new stuff like playing up to 5-tables, raising limpers EVERY time I had position, raising almost everything in BU, etc. It was up and down with some big mofo swings. I made a very large percent of winnings at 100nl from rb+bonuses (and built a massive roll from that). Eventually UB changed the way they calculate rake (and bonuses) which meant I could no longer live off rake & bonuses ([censored] UB BASTARDS). So with a big ass mofo roll, I moved up to 200nl and decided to try play well and focus with only 2 tables and see if I can make actual money from winnings. That was 3 months ago and I've been running really well at around $100 an hour. Moral of the story - know someone who is good and can teach you for free =) |
