poker career advice needed

definately less tables man, play to win, dont play for rake.

yeah 24 tabling used to do it for me when there was less people like me doing it. now i just dont have the skill/luck nor patience for it anymore. i feel ive got a huge ass donkey icon whenever i get into tables, every cooler or suckout now just feels embarrassing already lol

if u woulda 24 table 5 hours/day in 1 month straight u would recieve like close to 8k-10k$ in RB on site with good RB deal

this is wrong on so many levels

lolol i agree. it's like a dealer trying to get me back to doing drugs when i wanna straighten up my shit

i dont know i think 24 tables is cool

well if you can't even beat 100nl 24 tabling, you should just lower the amount of tables, do like 6-9 tables and get good reads on players, try to look for spots you just gave up on before. i think if you can't beat full ring you'll have an even harder time at 6max.

i bet your red line is like

-100k

ehm.. no its not? just did calculations, if he 24 table 5 hours / day 100NL with good rakeback deal (just took 45% in this calculation cuz thats what i got) he would recieve around 11k in RB

problem is that no other site other than ps allows 24 tables at the same time, only 16 max

oh and yeah, dont play for the rake, play 1 or 2 tables and learn the game, of course if you find it boring then maybe poker isn't for you

take a 2 week break, come back refreshed.

i really hate these statements.

Basically you just need to have the ability to move down. Play 9 tables, and play 20k hands of .10 .25. Then play 20k hands of .25 .50. Then move back to .50 1. Maybe, every time you have a losing week, move down a stake. Every winning month, move up one.
Also, spend 10 minutes after each session going over hands and thinking about better plays. There is a lot to be said about the work that has to be done off the table in poker.

Check out the book, The Poker Mindset. It may help you with some of the psychology aspects that you are having trouble with.

The point at which my winrate increased the most was when I stopped playing like 8-12 tables and started playing only 4-6. If you're a beast like nanonoko or something you can 24 table fine, but I don't feel like you're going improve grinding 24 tables like a robot. Play less tables for a while, focus on what you're doing and why you're doing it, and then when your confidence is back, increase tables again. You'll improve more playing less tables, the only reason you'd want to play more tables is if you think your edge is large already and you think you can maximise hourly by playing many tables, however if your edge isn't that big in the first place then you don't want to be making it any harder on yourself, especially when you're not likely to improve much with so many tables going on at once.
