As some of you may know, I decided to become a pro player this season. I've been living in London for 1,5 month and recently I moved to Crawley with a friend of mine, who works at a nearby airport. I didn't have Internet at home until this Tuesday (yuk!) so I couldn't play full time. Internet Cafe was my only option. I started playing NL100 again and, to my amusement, I became a winning player there (finally, FFS). Because of not playing much I won only around $2000 in like 35 days or so (didn't play every day). Cash-outed $2500 in the meantime. Why so much, when it should've been a thousand less? Well, my dear friend had an argument with his parents, he left home without saying a word, spent a month somewhere in Poland and came to England with barely any money. Fucking joke. Had to lend him $1k for the rent, food, bus etc.
Anyway, now that I have Net at home I can play as much as I want. Won $300 two days ago, $350 yesterday and lost all of it today. Fuckin' Europeans calling my PF 3-bets with A5, hitting 2 pair on the turn and busting my AK. And some tilt involved as well, of course. This beautiful mixture allowed me to drop my BR from $1280 to $630. I still have some cash left, and my friend is going to give me back some at the end of the month, so I need to withdraw only $500 in like 10 days. I cannot afford losing anything more so I just need to grind a bit on NL50. He'll give me back some more money next month, so withdrawing $700-$1000 should be enough at the end of November. No need to worry then. I promised myself that I'll have $10k BR before 01.01.2008 and I will. I'm very happy that I became a winner on NL100, and all the experience I gained here will definitely help me to beat NL50 soooooooooooooooo easily.

OK, now just two screens of my (almost) total NL100 play and that's it.

30k hands is nothing dude; you really can't determine whether you're a winner/loser at that given stake over that many hands

online bob is actually a pretty smart person, not at all like the creepy fucker that sits in the sofa telling me he does nasty shit to me when im asleep - pinball

Have you ever wondered which hurts the most: saying something and wishing you had not, or saying nothing, and wishing you had?

U prolly right, Tim. I have an edge over almost everyone playing these stakes so I guess I can be a winner .

i know i'm not the best source for this kind of advice but i'd really recommend getting a job. at least part time for now and you'll see how everything goes with poker. you won't have to cashout for rent and other expenses and you'll be able to build a solid roll.

Get a job. If you're depending on poker on that short a roll thats going to be a disaster sooner or later regardless of whether you are able to struggle along for a little while or not.

You're probably a winner but don't sound anywhere near mentally-stable enough, not to mention solid-playing enough, to be making poker money -> life money withdrawals on a regular and MANDATORY basis.

Seriously, start taking BRUTALLY honest looks in the mirror.
