You have a plan, self belief, a bankroll, positive attitude and support from the missus. How can you fail? Good luck on your adventure!!! Have you scheduled any live games? or will you be online exclusive? Posted by DUNMIDOSH
And hopefuly a half decent game
Cheers. But yeah I'm still gonna be playing pretty much every SPT, and in the near future looking to play some of the decent MTTs like GPS/UKIPT etc.
As for live cash, I deffo wanna play more of this but gonna wait til the roll is a bit bigger cos while it is supposed to be alot softer than your average cash game online, you're generally looking at a minimum of 100NL
Good luck Paul hope it works out for you. Most importantly make sure it doesnt negatively impact your personal life as that would always be my biggest fear. You seem like a very decent guy though and hopefully the people closest to you are supporting your decision , so look forward to hearing your progress in a few months.
Yeah it just wouldn't be possible without my girlfriend being right behind me. Not letting it negatively affect my personal life is an important thing to me, and so I'm concentrating on trying to see how well I can do from the game while still maintaining a good balance of 'off the table' activities too.
Mentioned earlier in the thread but will probably do an end of year update as I'll have been playing for a few months then and should have a better idea of how I'm getting on.
Hey m8.Just lookin through this and would like to wish you all the best.Remember playin you at the low stakes hypers when I 1st joined,lost the vast majority against you if memory serves.Never heard anyone say anythin bad about you,you seem to have a really good mindset when playin the game and you're usually there or thereabouts giving out good advice to lesser players and also prospective future opponents.You'll do grand man.
Good luck with this. Can't offer you any advice as I'm not a cash player but I know you have had some good results lately on another site in MTTs, so are you playing cash just on this site or spreading it a bit?
Up to now I've only been playing cash on Sky, the only MTTs I've played here since playing full time have been the Priority freerolls cos they're just great value.
Only really been playing MTTs on that other site and even then it's only 2-3 per session alongside my cash.
I'm thinking about playing some MTTs here but the structures/fields/prizepools (everything) are just much better on the other site. If I start doing some sessions which are just pure MTTs and no cash then I'll probably have to include some Sky ones to keep my tables up.

In my experience, the last thing you want when you're trying to play poker is the girlfriend right behind you!
Thanks for the advice Geldy, please don't think I'm being dismissive or naive but that just isn't the route I want to take. Some may say it's laziness or I haven't found the right job, but I'm turning 27 in November and have worked full time pretty much non stop since the age of 16 and I've come to a point where really the only things I am qualified/experienced enough to do, are things that I really don't want to do.
I understand careers have advancement potential, but so does poker. I would never consider trying this if I just thought 'I'm gonna stay at X level and make £1500 per month from now until the day I die'. I am always going to pushing to improve my game and play the highest games which I am rolled for and good enough to beat. I think if you were to go into with that mindset then you shouldn't go into it at all.
I won't go into too much personal details but luckily my money isn't the only income in the house and we have very low living costs.... we're life nits
