6 good luck with whatever you decide to do. Hopefully you come back when you have another form of income and give poker another shot, you clearly have some talent at the game, heater or not. The highs and lows reading your thread were awesome.

Yeah I think you're right. He has a track record of not sticking to anything so just because he turned his attention to wanting to do a math degree, it's highly likely he won't want to do that in 1 months time.

Great decision to quit poker. You don't have the mental fortitude or work ethic for it. I guess a lot of people don't, so nothing to be ashamed of.

You really need to evaluate where you are in life and make some tough decisions.

• You're married, 26, and live at home
• You have no income
• Your poker winnings for the year would put you at the poverty level in most developed countries
• You have no marketable skills
• Going to college again won't really solve any of these issues

You aren't an 18 year old kid anymore. You are well into adulthood. It is time to grow up. Get a job, any job, for now and start putting together some work experience and some money. Stop leaching off your mother, support your wife, and then get into a field that interests you when things pick up again.

I don't understand why you don't take up the great game of PLO in your spare time 6 bet like me. Work 30-40 hours a week and play poker 10-15 hours with 5 hours of study. Bang the wife every now and then and slap some cream on her face.

If he can't even handle 15 buyin swings or whatever this last one was, then PLO would absolutely crush him with the extra variance.

GL OP on your new endeavours. While I do hope you stick to one thing and do not, alas , endlessly repeat the cycles of giving up/clinging to new obsessions, that you will observe it for what it and finally seek help.

Is your wife going to get any tatts 6 bet? With your new future job you can purchase her some quality time at a tattoo parlour to get some new tatts.

Ya maybe even mix in a van to put your tatted up chicks in.

Wait, is this a crossover episode?

well hes got the life roll to move out and get a van.

Come to realise poker is a waste of time, latest obsession is a maths degree. I mean ooooooookay that's a much better goal but I feel like someone who can't hack putting in the hours to play poker due to a lack of discipline, and already failed to stick to a degree once, isn't going to go and do a degree now.

"I'm quitting poker so that I can do something where I can apply math and solve problems" pretty much tells you everything you need to know about 6b.

I think you should strongly consider finance as Mina attested to.

gl with your future endeavors 6bet.

I think I can learn a thing or two from your thread’s on how to stay largely unaffected by the hate as I begin this gamboolin dreams and goals blog of my own. Respect man.

You got to be kidding me 6bet, you will feel the itch to gamble with every minor setback at life, how naive are you to think you can just pull this normie-thing off? Give up on the delusions and fantasies, there's no way you can do this now. In order for your life to change, you have to get out of your unparalleled comfort zone and change you first. Why is that so hard to understand?

Well done for stopping playing poker.

I find it funny that OPs conclusion wasn't to get a job it was to study maths for a course he isn't going to do next year.

As I have said going back to uni is a pretty poor choice on your part as nothing will be different but it is still better than pretending to be a poker player.

Good luck 6betme. I agree you should focus your effort at university on finance, business, or something like that rather than just straight up math. Go for a job as an actuary or CPA out of college. You could always take high level math courses along the way if it interests you but a degree in business/finance will be a lot more useful and profitable in the real world.

And you don't have to give up on poker entirely, just play for fun and be a winning rec.

Pretty devo I don't know why your quitting. You moved up to 200nl and got wrecked. That's normal and fine take a break regroup. Being upset over the dowsing just means the moneys to much and means something to you. Most poker players fail from this. Play a stake where the money means nothing. You can easily drop back to 40nl and print 1k usd a week tax free + rb. Going to be more than anything you make in a real job. Do that for 5-10 years save money then buy some business when your done with poker.

Alot of people go to uni waste 4 years of there life maasive debt and still cant get a job in there so called field. You've shown 0 discipline in anything you do so no reason why you would succeed with normie life.

Degree in maths is plenty helpful to get a job if you're smart with how you structure it and work towards a specific goal. Load up on applied stats and comp sci electives and you're very well placed in areas like data science. Very different to high school maths as has been mentioned

As someone with a maths degree, it's more just definition after definition. Fun when you've got those steps but so many definitions.

Also I think people don't appreciate how much a maths degree shits on things like finance. Yes if a company wants something specific that may be the route to go but a maths degree really does show you are capable of doing all that other **** easily.

Take Ricks advice 6bet. Although, I'm not sure University is the proper route for somebody like you, only based off my own experience in the US and also the fact that you already owe tons and have a habit of backing out of things so we can only assume u will rack up more debts than u should when going back. That **** is expensive and most of the time does not even matter after u get that piece of paper in the end. Seems more like a money trap than anything. I really think you should find a job, bust your ass for you and your wife if you really love her and want you guys to succeed and after you save a little money you can re-evaluate your options and take another step to be in a position that makes more sense. One step at a time. And like Rick said, You can always play a little poker on the side. It can be a nice supplemental income if you can find that balance. GL bud.

Sorry I f'd the quote box up lol

Life not great for you?

Anyway while some of the hands played were not great a lot of them showed a strong understanding of fundamentals as well as strong ability to exploit his opponents. 6betme is a solid poker player. He's just a life fish. Buying $95 canned crab meat and chasing losses at higher stakes. But hey I wish him the best, seems like a decent enough person. Maybe if he could stick to a plan of serious BRM he might eventually be rolled to play poker more seriously. I think going back to college is a good idea whether or not he quits playing poker. Lest he end up living in a van down by the river.

Long time lurker, fan since you compared staying home from the casino due to rain to being like Anne Frank in S1. Wanted to thank you for the entertainment and honesty this whole 700 page ride.

On the job front: I know that you had considered dealing poker before and written it off, but as a poker dealer I wanted to tell you my experience with the job because I think you might be a great fit for it. I make approximately $1,400 USD per week. At a busy room like the crown I have no doubt that you can make 65-70k USD per year. It doesn't require a university degree, though it does require people skills and some quick calculation if you're dealing PLO (you'd be good at both.)

There's room for advancement if you show initiative and most of the dealers I know who've been in the business 20+ years are satisfied with their livelihood. It'd take you about 10 hours to get the mechanics of everything and even if you don't stay a poker dealer, at least you'd have an enjoyable way to make $35-40/hour until you got to more stable financial footing.

Good luck man, pm me if you're ever in Seattle and I'd love to take you out for dinner.

I had a couple of beers last night, went through parts of S1&2 and lmao, there's so much unexpected mind-boggling gold in there, OP deserves an award for it.

private chef or nah?

hahaha!

hahahahahahaha!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!


Good **** you're blazing there, Rick.
