A BrokeFarang trying to get by in Thailand A BrokeFarang trying to get by in Thailand

As the Title of this Thread might suggest, i am White and Broke and living in Thailand since the beginning of the Year.
I got fed up with my Life back home so i decided to sell all my stuff, give up my Flat and be Homeless.
I try to stay in Thailand as long as possible, so i might call Thailand Home one Day.
I started here with the best Hopes but played like **** in the first 2 Months since i arrived here(look down for Graph).
So now i want to start this thred to get some Motivation and to maybe connect with other people around here.

I try to beat Zoom100 and earn enough to not have to go back Home.
My Pokerbankroll right now is 4000$ and my Liferoll is about 5000€

If someone has any Questions i will be glad to answer

Your far from broke. Had same bankroll and was in similar situation, my mistake was to overthink about future and worry about the money way too much. It only makes tilt and play worse.

My suggestions are that you grind a limit your winning (nl50) I guess and focus to improve and not think about future and money. Get away from the "what if this runbad continues" and "what if I go broke" thoughts, they only create tremendous amount of fear, worry and stress which is combo that leads you to constant struggle and missfortune.

Wish you the best of luck. You seem to be responsible guy since you call yourself almost broke with 9k. I would aswell consider getting staked and couched if I would be you.

We might have a different "Philosophy" about being "Degen".
I could change my Username to "closetokindofbeingbrokeFarang" or to"maybesoontobrokeFarang", but i think just "BrokeFarang" just sounds better

Thx for your Post Seppo, you seem to be a good hearted well meaning Guy.
I dont think too much about Money, thats actually a big Problem for me. I tilt crazy sometimes and dont give a **** about Money anymore, also i just spend too much. i would say my Problems lay in "never think too much about Future" and "never worry/fear too much".
Maybe thats because i always found a Way out of every Misfortune(Mostly because i am a lucky Guy), or because of the constant use of relaxing Bananas

I have actually never been coached or staked before. Maybe i think about coaching, but right now i have to get my Mind right for Poker first, so i would be even able to spend money for that.
I would never get staked for cashgames, i prefer to play on my own Dime.
The moving down part is real good Advise as well, but i play too spewy when playing below NL100. Maybe i do it if i lose 2k more.

Thx for your input

it isnt about your sn, you wrote 'I'm white and broke and living in thailand' having a 10k roll in thailand is about what the average grinder has here, you can live an entire year in thailand for 10k your rolls plenty healthy
