a bit harsh mere, there is a difference between bust and skint. i blew br on here last mnth, doesnt mean im skint. he may well have withdrawn and spent it on important things like wine women and song ( and in my case more wine) . great advice has been given by dohhh in the past and maybe now someone a little further up the tree can give him some to get him to the next level. ps if you wanna play hu when you get back dohhh give me a shout!! phil
Not harsh Pod, some people are half right throughout this thread...all have made good points.
I don't work, (through choice) - I was making enough at poker to live - as well as boosting the bankroll, so Although I was spending money on real life stuff (taken from the poker br obv) - The roll was still going upwards.
Anyway - a bad week, and you realise how fragile this lifestyle can be.
I started imagining a bad month....or even a bad 6 months (as this is very possible apparently) - If that happened, despite using my nitty BR strategy, with outgoings etc, the lifestyle I have atm just wouldn't be sustainable. - Down the jobcentre for DOHH the monday after the WC final !!! aghh (-unless I win primo tonight:)
Anyway, I had £52 in the account as held funds (I didnt realise on friday or I wud have lost this too)
Spent £2.20 to qualify for tonights primo, had £20 on England this afternoon, and the rest, I just done here,.,..
when you get a chance, just deposite 100/200....or wait for the bonus day next month.
then 3 table 10nl...as you don't havea job then you can dedicate a lot of time to this.
with your game you will be able to build fairly quickly, even at these small levels....if you manage to nick 3BIs/day at that level, whcih is very easy, after a month of grinding you will hvae well over a grand to then build from at the end of July.
if you are using poker income to live then it is essential that you become even more nitty with BR. you really need to be looking at 50/100 BIs for the level you wanna play, so even for 25p/50p you need to have £5k behind you ideally.
if your playing poker as a job, keep at it as obv it is much funner than working! but tbh i think the steady income for many poker players is their rakeback, which sadly isn't on sky im not suggesting leaving sky as i think its the best and funnest to play! but if you want to make a steady and guaranteed income from poker instead of a job you should look further into the poker world before quitting, you'd be surprised by what's on offer lol
JJ, If it makes you feel any better I've gone busto 3 TIMES over the weekend...yup reloaded thrice and busto thrice....I'm seriously considering having July off though I know this will never happen ;o)
BTW As well as going busto I had my first Royal Flush this weekend so it wasn't all bad beat city, though to be fair I was playing OUTRAGEOUSLY badly and TOTALLY ignored BRM so I have no-one else to blame but me!
Chip up and chest out...You know you'll turn it around

Welcome to the real world DOHHHHHHH!
PM me Dohhhhhhh.
Luck with avoiding the job centre mate. I wish I had the choice.
take up a subscription at a training site rather than these forums. it's helped my game alot and moved me up alot.

have a break for a few days re load and keep to a tight br!!
i had a real bad night on here last thursday losing about 10% of my br.
if i hadnt stuck to the 5% rule i would of been bust too!
since then ive got most of what i lost back.
so id just say stick at it and you will build another roll in no time.
