I haven't talked to very many players that are long run winners at the 3/6 games on AP. I used to be, sigh, before I quit my job. Of course now that I'm a 'pro' I can't seem to beat the tables. Oh well, I put in a million hands so I still make more money monthly than I did as a pharmaceutical chemist. Pretty sick when you think about it.

I'm more of a glass-is-half-full kind of guy. Sounds pretty freaking awesome to me. I'm one of those wierd people who love poker even while losing. I just love the game and studying.

I envy you grouches who get to play full time even if its 3-6. I make more playing 25 hours a week as a break-even calling station playing 3-6, than I do working 60 hours a week at my 9-5. Just wait until Dec-Feb until I have a bank roll and some monies in the bank. Then life will be all rainbows and jelly beans.

You think it will be all rainbows and jelly beans, but just wait until you live the life. Not that I'm complaining, I love my life right now. But remember, the grass is always greener...

Meh, cant be worse than my job now. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I already have to rely on poker for 40% of my monthly income, having the balls make that final step is all thats left.

It's not about having balls to take the final step (I should know, I don't have, nor want, balls). It's all about having enough money saved up in your bank account to be able to pay bills for several months in case you run bad. I have a 4 month cushion along with my BR. I really wish I had 6, but I'm working up to it. BTW, what is your monthly 'nut', if you don't mind me asking. Mine is $3k.

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.

Sorry, I'm not that smart [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I'm going to continue working this soul crushing job until I have a 1000BB bankroll and 4-6 months in the bank. Looke like Jan or Feb at this rate.

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.
