Btw, a job in Romania doesn`t pay better than small stakes. And also If I take a job I have to quit poker because my spare time is spent with my kid. And I can`t neglect him because he will turn just like you, an insignificant person with lots of agressive and stupid opinions.
If someone is parasiting anything, it`s you with this thread. Be gone!
He has a point here and it was my thought exactly,pryor seeing his post.I played with you a lot in MTT and you seemed to do very well in those.Dont know the history with you,what happened and what made you think you can live on a long term by playing poker.
I am playing for more than 12 years now,with so many ups and downs,but it would never give up my job to live from poker.Online,it's impossble,especially if you have your own family.I have two kids already,i need to provide for them.Given the variance in poker,you can profit 5000 dollars this month,a lose 5000 the next month and get to a point that you are a breakeven player,even after rakeback
I used to play 3000-4000 tournaments per year with and ABI of 35$ and i managed to profit 127$ after 180.000$ prizes at the end of the year.I used to be NO1`in the world on 33 Bounty builder turbo on demand,but somehow they killed that too and stopped playing that.I gave up on most of the tournaments,playing about 300 tournaments per year and keep it as a hobby,while making some profit.I switched to ggpoker in the last year,but the games are so much tougher now and the sh.it i saw there cannot compare with the ones i had on stars on the last 12 years
BTW,just to be clear i aint a newbie,i have around 1M $ in tournament prizes(on stars+fulltilt),about 180.000 profit on cash games(PLO and dont play those either) and around 40.000 games on spin and go(maybe i am breakeven),but once again I WOULDNT not give up my job over poker
Second,kids tend to will copy their parents behaviour and will think that it's a good example and they will evolve into compulsive gamblers.drinkers etc.It's proven that.My older son saw me playing almost daily and started to play minecraft and it's an addict now.So make sure you enjoy your life,it's never late to reconvert into somehow you need to be and should be.If you made money and lose it all,it was a lesson you never learn.
And one more advice for you..you can try to take some IT lessons,where the paychecks are higher than the average salaries in Romania and way less taxes overall
Best on NOROC!
