Tournament study group

the best thing to do with tournament is pray jerry yang style

out of curiosity, what is the reason that you chose to play poker fulltime?

While I agree it's not standard to have quit your job and play full-time poker at low stakes, I very much disagree with dnagardi who all he posts is stuff about how everyone should not play poker. The guy recently posted in a hand history about how he "used to play 200nl 10 years ago" and how he is surprised the game has changed lol.

Whatever you do Gumster, if you respond to dnagardi be prepared for a post lecturing you about how you should rethink your decision.

wow lol.
you are onto me deeply mr hiems, wherever I post you suddenly appear to dirt me. scary. just mind your own business please

lol its true tho. that's all you post about basically. and you are mostly just feeding your own ego making your pedantic posts. oh wait nvm you do make posts "encouraging RiKD" and how he is so super!! (in actually again you are a weak and pathetic guy that needs ppl like RiKD around you to make yourself feel better about yourself, kind of like Loco).

how about you mind your own business about other ppl playing poker and I will mind my own business about you being a very annoying guy. LOL

well im sorry if I come down that way in your perspective. I would say I'm not encouraging but empathic. Also just generally curious in any topic.
95% of the users here are retired poker players. Me being one of them. I haven't played competitive poker for years yet I was more or less active on the site just chatting around either poker related or not. Would you grant me the liberty to keep doing that?

and I haven't seen a post here for ages where someone is telling hes going fulltime. Can I be curious about it?

lol why are you changing the story. it's not a matter of you just being curious about it if you always end these posts with stuff like "I have found that I am so much happier since I have stopped playing poker" or "perhaps you should work on your mental health" etc or some bs like that. again i'd like to emphasize that with you this is a pattern that seems to occur every single time someone makes a blog post saying they are trying to play poker.

I understand poker is a tough gig. a little of that is fine. I've been there myself being negative on poker with myself and other ppl, but ultimately this is a poker/gambling forum, if you are going to just discourage ppl on every poker post idk what you are doing here. ppl are all adults here they have likely thought that through by themselves already.

Nice derail, lol. My job will basically always exist so I can go back whenever I want. I really enjoy the freedom. ´Working full-time just eats my soul and just makes me so unhappy. Plus I had some huge scores last year (got first in two tournies with 8k ppl) and I have a feeling I can become really good.

thank you, gl!

Swedish people are the most chill to work with

HMU if you wanna discuss hands etc.

Good luck, fellas~
