Quit my job - Going to travel & play poker - Page 2 - Poker Blogs and Goals -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Oh I just saw this, and it makes sense now. $200 as a roll to live on while travelling will last all but 3 days.

You said you've saved for 2 years living without working, why don't you be smart and use most of that money for your bankroll, since that's what you're going to be using as the tool to make money for the future.

Put aside 6 months of money for living, not 2 years worth. Use the other 18months of money you have saved for living as a bankroll. Then you can actually do what you said in the thread title.

Otherwise change the title to:
"Follow me going on holiday with my savings for 2 years. If I get short of money will call dad. Might play online poker sometimes for fun."

Sorry but this isn't a poker challenge whatsoever...

I could easily deposit more and start playing at higher levels but I don't think that's the best thing to do as I am not the most experienced player. I would rather make my way up so I KNOW I can beat them levels before I go onto harder games. I don't need to change the name of this thread and it is a poker challenge, even If I started playing with $1 it would still be a poker challenge but thanks for your input.

What you you suggest to start with and at what games?

Cheers birdman, I have money to deposit if necessary but would rather work my way up. Don't know if this is the best thing to do but you have to start somewhere.

This is a much better way to learn imo, to only play games you are rolled for and have a significant edge in.

Just played a session of $2.5 180 seaters came second in one which made back the losses from yesterday, I really enjoy these tournaments as they have a nice amount of action but as it is a turbo it is annoying at times as you get short handed very quickly and have to go into push shove where it comes down to luck and get sucked out on a lot. But I have a strong mind and find it very hard to tilt

Roll: $195
