I recently dropped out of school for multiple reasons, some of them personal, one of them being to focus on poker. I'd like to see if I can make Supernova by the end of this year, although I have only earned 9k VPP so far this year. $240 currently in my account. Clearly I can earn 750 VPP in a day, but not necessarily every day. I have a live-in girlfriend who works full time, but wants a lot of attention on the weekends and in the evenings. I only need to make minimal cash-outs, so I think whether I can achieve the goal depends primarily on whether I will be successful enough over the next four months to move up in stakes and stay there. Back to those SNG's...

dropping out of school to focus on poker with a $240 bankroll?

How does a person react to a sentence without managing to read the entire sentence?

i did read the whole sentence but you said this was one of your reasons. imo with a $240 roll with no idea what to do it should never be even close to being one of your reasons.

I could do a "top ten ways you're an idiot", but let's just start with the pile of false assumptions in your post. I do have an excellent idea of what to do with it; you have no basis for your assertion. Additionally, it's not all the money I have; it's just what I'm working with online.

I read the OP three times and I still don't understand what's wrong with Jolin's question.

You ask for the mobs opinion but still you go defensive straight away? chill the fuck out or stop blogging about your personal life pz


vltava   United States. Aug 02 2010 20:33. Posts 1742

I didn't ask for the mob's opinion, although I don't object to being given an opinion, either. I do retain the right to respond to individuals employing poor reading comprehension and worse reasoning and identifying them as such. I'm chilled; in fact, I am as chilled as you are fucking retarded.

What the fuck is wrong with you guys? OP is asking if people think he can hit SN/get 91k VPPs by year end at a starting br of $240, not asking whether he should quit school to pursue poker with a $240 bankroll. Way to act like fucking Republicans

Im only good at poker when I run good 

vltava   United States. Aug 02 2010 21:07. Posts 1742

Right. I think it's a tall order, but possible. Just have to grind and run well enough to move up in stakes, because getting there by year's end playing $6+.50 will be brutal, even 27-tabling as I am at the moment.

Hey, it could be worse, she could be out at the bars looking for attention from someone else.

Nothing in the world that I want more than a degree. I do intend to finish, it's just not feasible to continue this fall semester.

.50 tourney fee equals like 2.25 vpps i think?

91000/2.25=40444 sngs at the 6.50 level


5 months left ~ 150 days minus weekends= about 110 days

40444sngs/110 days=367sngs a day

I figure you can put in about 40 an hour single talbing these

So it possible if you put in 9 hour days not working weekends 27 tabling assuming your playing 6.50 only.

Good luck if you try it mate.


vltava   United States. Aug 02 2010 22:47. Posts 1742

I don't intend to stay at this level. That would be too insane of a grind for me. I also take a break between each set, so I do not get 40 per hour. So far, I am trying!

NeillyJQ: I really wanted to prove to myself I could beat NL200, I did over a small sample, and believe Ill be crushing there in the future.

You're gonna hate yourself dude. It'll be an absurd grind if you don't make it to the $16.5 turbos within a month.

with a girlfriend you can't grind like nanonoko. I have no idea how you could make it, girls are massive time-sinks.

Zalfor   United States. Aug 03 2010 11:28. Posts 2236

its not about running well enough, its about BEING FUCKING GOOD AT POKER.

which clearly you are not (and neither am i or a lot of people).

quitting school is clearly a -EV decision regardless if its for life reasons.

i agree with the other doubters, [succesful] people don't quit school to pursue their dreams until after they become atleast proficient in their said dreams during their time at school.

and with a girlfriend, teres no way ur gonna make SN in 4 months grinding with a 240 BR. unless u run like jesus and can't lose AK vs AA.


vltava   United States. Aug 03 2010 13:26. Posts 1742

Yep, Zalfor, you're a fucking retard. You obviously didn't click on the link. I am good enough at poker to do this, that is not an issue; so you lose money at poker and you're hanging around liquidpoker as the pathetic wannabe that you are - that's your issue, you can quit projecting now, gg no re thxbye. And I have made platinum on a regular basis in the past starting the beginning of every month with a 3-digit bankroll after cashouts to pay the bills. And running good does matter. You can have protracted downswings when you are playing well. And in particular, not running bad right when you move up does matter.

YouGoTGoT: I LOL'd.

MiPwnYa: There is not a realistic chance I am going broke. I have grinded up to bills and rent money from under $10 several times in the past four years. I might not make Supernova, but that wouldn't be a disaster. I'll still have a good run and make some moneys.

The BR is up to $350 now not counting a few hundred in unclaimed bonuses and an impending milestone.
