Make no mistake, the games are getting harder.

Month by month, a handful of new multi-tabling wizard kids are getting promoted from ssnl to msnl, armed with enough knowledge to at least hold their own.

Ultimately in 18 months time the dark world i envision is one where all the games are reg v reg, the fish completely outnumbered, and the tables swamped with grinders. The imminent poker boom in the far east may help out short term but will act ultimately as a stay of execution

So i figure the weaker regs, such as myself, have 18 months to make some money before we are unemployed. Everything changes in life, and i am determined not to let this opportunity pass me by. I do not want to look back in 2 years time when i cannot beat the game and think "fxxk, i shoulda played more back then"

For this reason i am not leaving the house and will be playing 60 hours a week, and wazzing in a bottle like leatherass does until this day arrives.

someone pls pls pls tell me this view is wrong please (as i would like to leave my house at some point in 08/09)

discuss

People were saying the same thing 18 months ago.

Although, there will always be donkaments!

2.5 years ago when i was startin off at .25nl i thought i missed the boat already as people where making threads like this...

There's always rakeback/fpp

sweet, good start, more optimism pls

Oh and plomaha!

just take lots of shots and run good

12 tabling 2/4 gets me 35/hr in rakeback

IT BEATS MCDONALDS

edit: it may be 16 tabling im not really sure

you're doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomed
i wouldn't sleep if i were you - just time wasted

just dont be a degen and all the money you make from poker should keep you alive and well.

i tink if you are beating the game now you will be able to beat the game in 18 months and long after that. if im not mistaken the chinese are not allowed to gamble on correct? cus i pray to the good lord above there comes a day when 2billion people who have money and reallly like to gamble are playing internet poker.

youre right. thats mostly why the poker geniuses dont post that much

this

also a lot of regs out there who just seem incapable of understanding some things about the game.

everyone these days is saying, "man if i was taking this seriously 2 years ago i'd be playing 25/50 right now." well we're playing seriously now and as long as you don't stop improving you'll be making at least as much as you are now in 2 years.

Maybe I just don't table select that well, but the games seem like this to me now. I consider a table with 5 regs and 1 fish a good table. 2 fish is a godsend. I don't think I've played on a table with 3 fish in the past 6 months.
