That's the goal. Going to keep studying PLO and play two tables all day while I work from home (it's my business). And I'll play mid stakes MTTs to try to boost the roll with a good run. I've played tons of live poker and online, starting with back in the Moneymaker days. Looking to take the game more seriously.

GL!

What kind of business you run? Ive been looking for some WFH jobs myself

Direct mail advertising packs going to high end homeowners. We make a very sleek looking envelope with postcard ads. People think print is dead but direct mail will always be around. If you like phone sales from home msg me, I'm looking for entrepreneurial people who want to take over territories

In a MTT right now ITM 1600 first prize.

Also playing .25/50 PLO.

busted out with big stack pushed me in when I had AK, he had QTo and won with trips on river. Back to the grind tomorrow.

I want to live in the country like a redneck with some pickup trucks and play poker online all day

**** tourneys. What a luckshow. Keep getting bad beats to kick me. Gonna keep plowing though, one tourney a day, while grinding the plo cash.

GL OP. I used to f*k around with NL tourneys, but realized I never get top 3, never study, and they're super -ROI without studying. Stick to what you're good at.

Thanks! Yeah I came to that conclusion yesterday pretty much. It's just kind of bleeding money slowly.

Well I played lots of PLO50 yesterday and lost about $350. I ran really bad but also probably didn't play very inspired poker. I think sometimes I get overconfideent after a nice win (Friday went up about $400) and tend to think that the table conditions are the same. But yesterday it wasn't a table I could 3 bet at will and push off flops. This was a looser, gambling table and that seemed good, but I kept losing flips, and my cbetting was way too high.

I'm down to $250 out of the original $400. I need to buckle down and focus on finding good games. ACR seems like the games are not that great. Maybe I'll give Global Poker a shot since from looking on there, they seemed very loose and passive, but that might just be a small sample size.

Another leak I seem to have (maybe it's not a leak, but a good thing in disguise) is that I tend to switch interests often. Some days I'm into tournaments, other days I'm into heads up NL, other days Omaha. And I tend to play better at the game I'm most interested in at that day. Part of me wants to specialize and focus, but at the same time, it might be best to do what I feel like, as then I'll be in a better mood. And after all, the game is supposed to be fun, right? So that is something I'm working on discovering about myself.

Anyway, happy pokering everyone.

Yesterday was tough. Lost a few big pots where I was about a 65/35 favorite or a flip. That's Omaha though.

I'm really trying to work on my game, put in real work.

The level of play online is so much better than back in 2004 when I first got into it and made a summer living grinding 3/6 limit. Man that was so easy. It shakes your confidence seeing how the edges are so thin nowadays.

Oh well, competition is a good thing and I like playing good opponents.

Played live today, played 2-5NL for about 6 hours then 1-2 omaha for 2ish hours.

Ended up down about 100 bucks. Lost most of my first 500 buy in, added a few hundred, then got up to 1400 when my AA doubled through AKs, and won a few other big pots. Then made a bad river call, ran into some big hands. I really wish I quit but the game was good... my call was really bad in retrospect. But live and learn.

Rough week. Dropped my original bankroll plus another 400 online, and lost 600 at the casino at 2-5. Made a really bad play with overpair against a set, just didn't believe the guy and stacked off with KK on a Q824 board. I was playing really well until then and starting to see how I could succeed at cash games, then made one big blow up.

Really gotta work on my mental game.

Been there, OP. How have you done since then?
