So I been playing pokerz for like 8 months now. I first saw poker on high stakes poker TV show and I was like WTF??? YOU CAN MAKE THIS MUCH MONEY SITTING DOWN PLAYING CARDS??? I was all over it and I remember thinking how hard can it be? Well I lost like 100BI playing 5z thinking wtf am I doing wrong lol. Then I actually realized you have to study and think if you want to win which is something I wasn't doing at all. So I started studying and thinking and now I'm at 25z beating it (small sample size). I will be moving to 50z very very soon. I shotted 50z last week and lost like 5 BI but w/e.


Graph of 25z

Last 8k hands have been pretty annoying cooler bs stuff but w/e.

For the love of god don't drop out of uni.

100% agree with not dropping out of uni. You may be making money now but don't get overconfident. Even if you don't put all of your effort into your degree still pass the course so you have a backup if poker doesn't work out.

You may feel like you're wasting your time but its always better to have a back up plan.

Out of interest, what course are you studying?

At least keep an online uni degree going, something basic in business.

The next Phil Ivey ITT (well the no home Jerome part)

"Dropping out of uni to make a living playing 50z"

This is the biggest mistake you could ever make. I would strongly recommend staying in uni. I would also not recommend anyone take up poker for a living in 2016 and beyond without a strong backup plan (which you don't seem to have).

Do your parents know you're doing this btw? What's their opinion?

Why not stay in uni and grind? What makes you want to leave university so badly? We all need a plan B and poker isn't as clean of an exit plan as it was a few years ago, arguably this can be viewed as a pretty suicidal life decision.

You will regret a lot later if u drop uni

You're going to regret this.

lolsample OP. Did you even play 10z?

its your life, i dropped out of college because i was going pro in mma. things were going great until i messed up my back in prep. i was terrified, had nothing to fall back onto and ended up starting a few projects and im doing quite well. glad it went the route it did. if poker doesnt work out for you, some intelligence, risk and motivation and you might be glad you didnt continue uni. In the u.s at this point college is almost not worth it.

#followyourdreams!!!

But yeah honestly at least make sure you can jump back into uni if things go south. I personally did the same around 5 months ago and currently on an absent year at uni, but can jump back any time I choose. Not sure how long I can be absent, but think its something like 2-3 years. But I was already playing midstakes at the time.



There's a huge fkn difference to making some money at 50z and making like 8k+ a month from poker. My advice is to play poker on the side, until you actually have a shot at making good money from poker, because most people never get there nowdays anymore.

sauce was crushing nosebleeds for 7 figures being the #1 player online and still going to uni on the side..but gl, poker is very isolating and antisocial, much better as a side thing until your crushing.

To be fair, landscape at that time was way less competitive than it is now. There is close to no way anyone can make it to nosebleeds nowdays playing poker on the side, when majority of regs at midstakes+ spend so many hours in the lab on top of grinding.

This just proves you're making a terrible mistake.

Listen to others OP.

What? Why would that prove that I'm making a mistake?


40k hands bruh hand smaples don't get much bigger than that... Also what is 10z?

Sooooo easy to grind 6 hours a day (which is basically full-time volume) and still get your uni degree... Just need to study a bit more and play less during the 4 weeks or whatever of exam time

Always good to keep your options open ya know

TBH 40k is still very lolsample, unless you are really crushing over that sample.

Why are you trolling your own thread?

Because it's my thread.

This is going to be enjoyable.

This just proves you have absolutely no clue. At this point, I'm not sure if you're trolling or just very, very delusional.

Judging by his dp he is clearly a bollywood actor....so i would assume this thread is all an act/practice for his next role in a movie, however if there is some (small) chance this is actually serious ignorance is really bliss.

Last 2 days have been really annoying.






Such a setup... Poorly played by villain too imo.
