Been following this thread for a while now and I'm still fascinated.. not just by OP but by the myriad of replies that range from trolololol to actual good advice.

To OP, I'm a cash game grinder that started playing poker in March, and I totally get what you're saying about the volume. At first it was pretty unthinkable that anybody can put in like 8-10 hours of grind per day but I've slowly built my stamina up and 5-6 hours a day is not a problem for me now. Its important to not let little excuses get in the way of you putting in volume. ESP the girlfriend. She has to understand that your priority is poker now and you're doing it for her. GL and I hope you make it

updates?

advice: you should not marry the first girl you meet!!! especially not in thailand!!!!!!

in b4 girl fakes her own death to submerge...true story

stop posting please. if all guys follow your advice, then world is booring and no-one make similar threads, and good books etc. (read: why the hell you want to pay for circus, if you can read/watch it free?)

Update?

Sent from my HTC Desire using 2+2 Forums

bump for updates. i was a silent reader and starting to worry

I think OP is a huge dolt from what I've read and I'm none of that; actually I'm a 22 yr old that IS living the life

The fact he hasn't taken up ruse's offer is pretty hilarious as well

Gl

I dnt think anyone cares wot ur doing ,we here for crazy Belgium dude

No updates for more than a week? That can't be good...

such an epic thread. your situation are pretty typical though. foreigner coming to SEA and falling in love quickly with the first few girls they met. I was in the same situation a few years ago. And no matter how many people were advising me not to get attach I didn't listen because I was in "love" and how could these girls be "bad". hopefully you will learn quick. also not going to judge your taste but you can do a lot better if look was something you was interested in. maybe when you are bored of Thailand come to Vietnam I can hook you up with some viet girls.

He wants to grind micros making barely enough to survive in Thailand and get married to a "Christian" that is down to bang on the first night. You grind HS hypers and have the chance of being a millionaire in your 20s. Dreams can be different? :/

Is this offer open to anyone? I prefer Viet girls but not bored of Thailand yet...

Excited for the update, sounds like something may have gone badly wrong...

OP is up 1.2k+ at the tables MTD so at least at the poker front everything looks good...

Why am I the only one getting flamed for speaking the truth.. jeeeeeeez
Agree 100% with Josh

Because the show stops if he isn't encouraged to continue.

Dreams can surely be different, that doesn't mean he isn't a stone ****ing ****** though. You want to know what I've realized? I'm building a huge gap in my resume living in Mexico and not going to college/uni, and I'm going to probably be fairly unhireable in the future, so guess what runs through my mind? I better ****ing be a millionaire by the time I'm 30, or near it, or to me, I haven't made the right choice with my life.

I usually don't hate, but that's truly my strong opinion in this case. Either way, as per what I say below, I will refrain from posting negativity towards the OP;s life choices in the future.

loool no joke man, this is mind blowing.

but i will stop and just enjoy the show

because you seemed to be talking down to OP
jdawg91 is too in that quote

Because you was trying to baid him to come to "play 30 and 60 dollar sng's with you"( you said that about 5 times) being very condescending. Even know in your thread you admit you play $5 mtts and have made 2 k from poker lifetime..

You really can't understand why that is pathetic and you need to be flamed?

Come back pls! you are a HIT!

lol sure. if you ever come to Vietnam pm me. I am married and my wife friends constantly ask me to hook them up with foreigner. most of them are legit hot with light smooth skin. not racist but if you been to SEA long you realist why the light skin girls are always more prefer

nice scam op

if you did this for 10 hours a day for several months you would kill yourself. best to play a couple maybe 4 mtts at the same time if your going to be doing this for a long while. you can really get into your meta game when you have only a couple or (gasp!) one table up. i believe you will make much more money and progress as a poker player this way. start the day out with a couple reg speed sngs and make sure you take at least one down so you can relax your pacing and get your head in the mtt mindset, then on to the mtt. look at the sng as a warmup.

great advice.... for a recreational player. However OP is trying to make a living.

Hey which part of Vietnam do you live in?

I sincerely hope that everything is ok with OP.
Need to keep this train goin'.
