Mayo the Donk is going pro!!! - Page 2 - Poker Blogs and Goals -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I gave up my job to play pokers full time so I would be a hypocrite to tell u not too

Unfortunately I don't have family support and most people I know laugh at the thought of playing poker for a living

Go for it man...!!

I would swap with u like last time but I am drunk and its my bday and I am playing PLO while drinking champagne, lol

I out tonight so gonna miss the SCOOP

Wow. Amazing progress already given your age. Hope it works out for you.
I also did Maths at Warwick University (graduated last year). Thought I was good at it before I got there, lol. As someone who's done this before, I don't blame you wanting to drop out and go pro!
By the way, if you do do 2nd year, you need to work your arse off. It's one heck of a jump.
Will be following. GLGL

Yeah crushing would be cool, but seeing as I'm soon going to be depending on poker to live on I think that the steady rakeback of playing 300k hands/month is important. I intend to spend a lot of time working on my game aswell and don't see why I can't crush on 18 tables.
Also I find it very slow on 8-10 tables and tend to find myself spewing.

Heres some of my favourite hands from yesterday vs a mix of regs and fish

Yeah I bet there's a ton of people in my shoes wanting to go pro that think it's too risky, and I agree, but you've gotta take risks to succeed.

Played a quick 3k hand session earlier and ran 4bi above ev which is always nice

Good luck mate, Warwick is a good uni but degrees are highly overrated. Will check in from time to time to see how you're getting on.
