[Hey y'all
Just signed up and figured I would post a issue I've been having. lil background been playing just like everyone else who started in college with buddy's not knowing any basic strat in poker. About 5 years ago I got laid off from corporate job as store manger at a big box retailer. During this I went to rail a buddy who won a heads up tourney for 80k. I was completely hooked and loved the learning process since I had no idea of how much was involved. Over last 4 years I literally grinded every day and have been or currently a member of TPE, Ivey poker , rio, card runners , Johnathon little etc. I have very little expenses or anything holding me back from pursuing poker. This is the problem, I just recently took a job I couldn't pass up. I did what ever it took to never work for the man but this was to good. It's a driving job that is decent money and gets laid off in winter. I love the idea of having winters off to play poker. Only problem is it doesn't make sense cause I don't have a bankroll to support. If I make 1k a week working,, mentally I can't 3 barrel bluff a weeks paycheck in one hand. I've have done staking deals with friends but has always been short term and they don't want to parlay into more sessions. It's always just the current home game or if the want to play the pits in casino I'll go with to play poker. Long story short there not poker players or understand the concept. So I always get stuck paying them there share and have profit to take a 1 or 3 buy in shot. With the variance it's been hard to do and if I lose will have to wait for next opportunity that's convenient for them. Recently I ran up 200 to 1800 playing 1-2 so I have a lil breathing room.
Come December I will start my lay off and looking for a opertunity if one even exist. Is there any live staking stables that are talking players. Willing to move or go where ever to pursue this opertunity. By getting a job, money actually means something. My expenses are very low. To most poker players playing 2-5, 700$ a week is a joke. For me it would be a blessing to make that and not work for the man to pursue my dream. What I'm saying is that I will work to do what ever it takes to make this situation work. I have the experience, I've traveled the circuit and know why it takes. I would love to focus on cash to build and think the coaching would be incredible since most stables offer. Especially to me who comes and goes from poker community cause have to work full time, I don't have opertunity to talk hands everyday like I used when I was in the science. Is there such a opertunity out there?? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Here is a link to hendon mob which is not much but have had recent success at last stop I played. At least you can tell I'm not a newb. I've been watching trIning videos and studying poker literally every day for last 3 years. I'm ready for a fair shot to crush. I also have references to many regulars that have bought prices of me or I did them from horseshoe Hammond casino if needed. I'm a straight up hrs working honest guy looking for Opertunity. I've been focusing last 2 months for lay off to get me physically and mentally prepared. I'm in best shape of my life working out and eating healthy. I've worked out 5-7 days a week for last 9 years but recently have turned it up and ready for war.
