Ok then, here's what is up.

I am a degen spew monkey. IMHO I can and have beat low stakes NL for quite some time now. I'm unemployed, have a 2K bankroll left after blowing everything, still have enough monies to pay rent, health insurance ect.. At least for the time being. And NO, I'm not getting a job at the moment. I've been able to support my self off poker for the past year though lost most everything over November and December mainly due to drinking while playing.

I have no bankroll management and always find myself coming home drunk for a little high stakes PLO action trying to pull a Ziggy. Adios bankroll.

Poker is my life. It's all I have. If I lose the rest of this it's all over and I'll be devastated.

I find it not much of a problem to beat even 1/2 though once again I'm always playing above my roll and find myself bored or drunk after being up a significant amount of monies for the day and end up hopping back online and losing all my profits.

This has been going on for the past year or so and I'VE HAD IT!!

No more playing drunk. I'll be putting in plenty of work off the tables and I will make this work! The goal this year is 50K.

I'll be playing again starting tomorrow or Monday on Intertops under RakeAndBake if that's a valid screen name. If not I'll post an update so you all can track me on PTR. As we all know PTR is not very accurate so I will be posting honest updates. Also, I can't seem to get PT to track for Intertops, though I have no problem tracking on Cake or Red Star? If anyone can give me any feedback on why this is it would be much appreciated.

I was going to start out at 50NL 1/2 stacken but if you guys think I should drop to 20NL I'd consider the advice.

Please feel free to PM me or email me. I'm always looking for new poker friends. Maybe we could even get some sweat sessions going.

Support from you all would be much appreciated.

How old are you?

PS: Buy in full.

I'm 29.

I seem to play better 1/2 stack at any stake over 20Nl

beginning to look for a job/life outside poker might also be worth looking into.

german?

American

If I was living outside the U.S. I would mos def be on Stars going for SNE

lol at going for sne at 100nl and half stacking

notsureifserious

Advice taken.

PTR is worthless.

You can get a better idea of my stats at Poker-Edge. Still off a bit but whatever.

Obv does not include monies from sign up bonus, RB, or tier levels.

Still having problems getting Intertops Poker Tracker compatible, though once I do I'll upload my graph.

Cheers and GL to all!

Gl dude, if it's your last shot then make sure you do everything you can to succeed and have fun

looking forward to first session graph. make it count, good luck.

Thanks guys.

End thread.

Bye poker.

Busto

What happened? Played drunk again?

damn too late. next time maybe give this a try. its been helpful for me

...in b4 he reloads.

Epic thread, move to bbv plz.

whats your account that you grinded and made a living off of I want to look you up in PTR and maybe follow your thread / support you.

Good luck dood. But hey, if poker is seriously your life why not look to improve your game and bankroll management? If you can beat the stakes you said you obviously have a good enough game to profit in the long haul as long as you don't tilt monkey spiraling outta control. Make this work, I'm going for you!

FFS, I didn't read through this part

I wish you well OP, and remember all we are is dust in the wind just floating along; someday you'll look back on this journey called life and realize everything you've done, from mistakes to successes, is what made you who you are! Shine on you crazy degen.

Damn I was reading, waiting for the part where he plays some poker then BAM.
