And yeah you could probably live alone at 50nl but it wouldn't be a great life. I split rent etc with my gf obv so it's way easier. You'd be mega comfortable at 100 with supernova and a decent winrate

Thanks for the answers, time to sweat my ass up for 100nl in a year I guess!

The only reason he was thinking was because he was trying to find his carkeys.
At the end of the month I will give a prize to everybody who posts their huge loss graph in this thread. Get posting them! If the rumours are true that might even bring SID out of retirement... :O
Hang in there N1H. Ever thought about moving outside the US to get onto Stars?
Played a few mtt's tonight, about 5/6 total, lost about $70. I was going to play the $109 WCOOP tomorrow but having second thoughts now. It'll cost me 7kfpps if I want to, I'll see how I feel tomorrow. As I was playing my last MTT I fired up 4 zoom tables and dropped a buy in or two early. Determined to get back to even I went into grind mode and eventually got there. I played 28/23 tonight and actually played a solid LAG game, just ran really bad in crucial spots! I also broke yet another computer mouse tonight. Smashed it to bits lol. I also got back into the black at 23.59 to keep the run of winning days going. A couple of hands...
Probably my only suckout this month so far (srs). Villain saw me sqz light a few hands previously and had a high 4bet stat, so I decided to yolo 5bet shove.
Preflop: Hero is SB with Q J
UTG folds, MP raises to $1.50, CO calls $1.50, BTN folds, Hero raises to $6.50, BB folds, MP raises to $14, CO folds, Hero raises to $76, MP calls $48.47 and is all-in
Flop: ($126.94) 4 6 7 (2 players, 1 is all-in) Turn: ($126.94) 9 (2 players, 1 is all-in) River: ($126.94) J (2 players, 1 is all-in)
Spoiler:
Results: $126.94 pot ($2.50 rake)
Final Board: 4 6 7 9 J
Hero showed Q J and won $124.44 ($61.97 net)
MP showed A K and lost (-$62.47 net)
I haven't posted a car crash hand in a while. I call turn because I think I can bluff flush rivers and I have a double gutter. Lo and behold I had the best hand.
Roll sits at $1240 with 24,710 fpps. Gonna hopefully put in a good session tomorrow. I'd like to make some debt-paying cashouts next week, we'll see where we're at.
GL to anyone playing the WCOOP tomorrow, and keep those losing graphs coming!

thanks. yeah it's one of the most brutal stretches I've ever endured. i just can't seem to get anything going. i've even left my stable to focus play on one site, and nothing really has changed.
nah, i want to get to nl200 before i even think about relocating/doing this as a job.
i'd probably get crushed twice as hard on stars, i've heard the games are really tough on there. us americans are either bumhunting on Bovada/Carbon, or beating up fish on Revolution.
wouldn't you be better off in terms of income , security, future prospects , not breaking mice and keyboards etc etc by having a 9-5 , any 9-5, rather than playing the micros, or keep poker as a side hustle/ hobby ?

For once, CD has got a point. You could work a job for 6 months - live off that and in that time you wouldn't have the stresses of having to make money to live off... you could just build a roll & work on your game stress free. Then in six months to a year when you have a $5k roll on Stars you can then start withdrawing monthly. Are you playing NL50 off a $750 roll and trying to live off Poker at the same time? I could be way off, I haven't read all the posts in here, GL to you anyway.
Don't worry guys I have no financial issues. I've made good $ so far (way more than I would have working the 9-5), and I have used that to pay bills and debts (of which I have paid a lot) and go on holidays (since going "pro" in April I'll have been to Berlin, Magaluf & Monaco all within five months). When you consider I've also paid my rent, utilities etc etc on top of this, things are totally fine. My roll gets short sometimes, but it's usually around $1500 which is enough for 50nl zoom.
I really wish I had some $ saved up and no bills before I started playing full time, but I am 10000000x times happier playing poker for a living than working behind a desk. Some things (like happiness) are way more important than money (that's kind of irrelevant tho coz I still make more money lol).
Edit - forgot to add - 826/1564 in WCOOP. 1350 get paid.

+1
Though obv if you feel the liberation from poker is of significant utility to you then this may change.
