Hey Stox! How do you think your former job has prepared you for becoming that good of a player and helped you to handle the step of going pro? Did you ever have more than marginal psychological leaks? How did you get rid of these (doing yoga, reading books about psychology or s.th.)? [/ QUOTE ] trading stocks and playing poker have a lot of similarities, so I do think it helped. The biggest two reasons it helped though might be less common - I had the money to move up quickly without worrying about bankroll considerations, and I was used to 7 figure swings at my job, so whats a 5 figure swing? well, i guess one time its not my money and another it is, but I had plenty of experiences handling both big wins and losses and seperating luck from skill from clear decisions. I think my mindset and risk attitude lends itself well to poker, if I ever did have any psychological leaks above say 5/10 LHE, I didn't know about it and still don't. My biggest leak currently might be playing a style in videos that I think makes for a better video but might not be the most +EV.

Have you ever had a poker coach? If so, what did you learn from him/her? [/ QUOTE ] Other than discussing hands over and over with 2+2 and now more often with friends of mine, I have never had a poker coach.

Re: Stoxtrader is \"In the Well\"
Stox - loved the book of course, its the first ground-breaking work on limit hold'em in years. I refer to it quite often, both for myself and as a teaching aid.
Have you thought about writing a followup "workbook" style short handed book? Think Harington on Hold'em or How Good is your Limit Hold'em as the model.

Re: Stoxtrader is \"In the Well\"
top 5 shlhe players online today
also, do you think that it's still possible to start at $1/$2 lhe and move up every 500bbs for each level and be able to make a living at $5/$10? what do you think is the lowest level you could make a decent living at at LHE? assuming a $2,000 monthly nut.

[/ QUOTE ] SHLHE is tough to say, if you HU also counted I would have to include matt hawrilenko and thebryce in there. Other than that there really aren't any huge games that go with regularity, and I'm out of touch with the stars 100/200 and 200/400 games that i guess? are the biggest regular games on the net that include US players.. different people would probably definie "decent living" in different fashion, but if poker is your sole source of income I would hope you are pretty good at it. Making 2bb/100 at 5/10LHE means you make 20c/hand or 2k per 10k hands, playing 30-40k hands/month which seems reasonable + RB and bonuses you could make 6-10k/month, but you would need to be a very good player.

[/ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] I'm not sure what you are getting at here or where my initial response was lacking. To answer completely one would have to define "decent living". From there it should be relatively easy to do the math. You might also want to allow for ROR or variance issues. If you are asking this because it is an important question for you personally I would be happy to offer advice but would be better able to help if you could offer more details.
