LOOOL

MNJ - because I know something does not mean I always do it.

I come from a long line of gamblers, its harder for some than others.

I have improved in this area 99% in the past few years though, so your post really isn't "that funny!" but it has its merits, I'll give you that.

First off don't listen to Gold Rush's advice.

2ndly I wouldn't really focus on the money really. Just keep reading up. keep thinking. Post hands if you have questions. And stay as objective as possible.

is you ig.cloud from BW? :O

Yeah he is, also a former Alternate player in sc2.

The capitol D gave away who you are

damn

That's like mentioning that a retired UFC heavy weight fighter is also a former wrestler.

Not sure what u talking about. I said also former, because he was part of iG during BW and a part of Alternate SC2 team.

Hey you might remember me as iG.target Im one of if not the only sng pro who visits this site. I have no idea how italian stars or whatever works or what games your able to play but first off I think the 27 man reg speeds are terrible games to play. Theres like no high micro or mid stakes that run and the skills dont really translate to the high hourly games that are currently avaible like 18/180 turbos and hypers. It teaches you some basics but not much that translates to money in the current poker setting.

A player whos able to play alot of tables with very limited knowledge can easily make 15euros an hour starting at 180's thats where I think your skill set is best.

At one point this year I was in the top 5 on the sharkscope leaderboard and coached two or three of the others. 40 tablers are actually quite rare and id look to coach and stake guys like you rather then a much better poker player just because of the hourly$ potential. Shame if italians cant play them tho thats another thing.

The poker climates really bad right now and I cant really recommend it to many people. Especially someone in a country with lots of regulations and taxes. But guys who wasted are lives playing video games instead of studying like many of us are often those people ;p.

I mean playing BW is an accomplishment and shows something. Playing SC2 is like online poker on facebook. Not really the real thing.

SC2 Sucks.

Lol, take your hate somewhere else.

Hey Target, nice to see you
Thanks for the infos. Unfortunately here it's not legal to play on international poker rooms and 27 men in Italy seem to be the tables that give the most profit. I'll move outside Italy when I get enough money off poker tho so I guess that the tables you spoke about will be my best bet in the near future.
Regarding the poker environment it might be much worse than a few years ago but I don't think it's that bad. If there's enough committment to become really good and it's being treated like a full time job it's so much more money than an average post university salary.
Btw it's crazy that you can play 180 men SnG. I don't think they even start here with that many people needed for the sign up.
Edit: in fact I realized that I could play 60/70x in the future when I learn the game better. I would really love to exploit this multitabling ability of mine at its best when I move out of Italy. Learning BW and SC2 wasn't a waste after all

progamers is for lifes

Holy shit I just had a 300 BI downswing after the level up. Hurts so bad.

Graphs pls.

Well heres my recent 180 graph with a pretty low abi of like 11$. A 15k losing stretch might make you feel better. Variance is wild.
