I once lost 2900bb playing 3 handed vs two whales, were my actual winrate was probably about 80bb/100hands but standard dev was probably 500.

Anyway, enough may-saying. You got this. And if worst comes to worst, it's not like you'll never find work again. Hope it works out for you man!

Jesus lol. Good thing my game literally never gets 3 handed! Cheers for the kind words!

how deep does 2/5 play at crown? at the star 2/3 is 500max and 2/5 is 1k max so the games can get pretty deep especially on good tables on fri and sat night

Oh true, wasn't aware Sydney was deeper. 500 cap @ Crown I'm pretty certain.

Update - It's Done!

This past weekend I decided to play in a WPT event down the coast. A $150 main event with $50k prize pool and the "high roller" which was $350 with a $36k prize pool. In the main, I bricked both flights. In the high roller, I also bricked. One thing I've learnt is that if you're playing low-buyin live timbys, you should definitely have a pair of noise cancelling headphones. The table talk from these guys was the hardest part of the weekend - just listening to the drivel come out of their mouths, constantly, was really very very difficult.

Anyway, because I didn't get home from the coast pretty late last night, I didn't feel like going to work this morning on no sleep. I told my boss I wasn't going in and she asked me to call her when I could. I did so and she told me not to bother coming in again and that they'd pay me out the week. I had two weeks left til my final day, but looks like that's been cut somewhat short! That's okay though, I get paid a week's wage for not working which will be nice. It'll also give me some time to prepare myself for the weeks ahead.

As of a few hours ago, I am now a full time poker player. To consummate this momentous occasion, I will begin a new PGC for the road ahead. I'll link to it here once it's up, but I encourage you all to sub to the new one!

New PGC, please feel free to sub!
