I intended to quit online Poker 10 days ago.
And i didnt touch any money games for this period of time.

I played 3 Pokerstars freerolls and got TOP 300 out of 3500 players in each of the 3 freerolls.
I made a total + 40 cent ^^

Thing is there is no work availible being as relaxed and fun as Poker while giving euqal amount of money.
There are of course sidejobs that give you a lot more safe money than playing micro stakes Poker ... but its hella physical and mental pain over 8h a day
->
compare this to sitting in your comfortable chair and playing some poker drinking some coke while listening to mp3s.

so you all were right about the "cant quit Poker" thingy

I just played some Pokerstars today.
400 hands NL5 and 5 micro SNG ( 1.50+25 18player SNG)
I am up + 10.20$
played 1h 30 minutes.

I dindt get any major bad beats and i got normal/+- 0 luck.

So now i have a few plans.

- More conservative BR management = move up when 40 buy ins for SNG and move down when below
have 20 Buy ins for cashgame and move down when below.

- Take a 3day break if i run bad for more than 4 days in a row.

- Improve my theoretical knowledge about Poker

- sale my 17" to my sister and get a new 22" to be able to play more hands/sngs in 2 h a day

poker is pretty physically yo

those assrashes can hurt

if you add tons of macro options and units and keep the old obligations like sending scvs to mine, pros will just focus less on micro which sucks imo -Floofy

What are you talking about? Put some work into it and get a good job, more stimulating then playing poker for sure
