I heard florida is the best place to grind from a few people and it's a nice place to live. I guess you could go there, you have a good working car, right?
Well if so and you're really committed, i'd download a thousand poker books on your laptop, drive down to florida (-$200 in gas monies? Just a guess) then play poker and live out of your car until you have $5k. Then find a place to live on craigslist so you have a place to shower and sleep. So after that just study poker and play. However a 4k bankroll + liferoll is awful. 4k bankroll is probably good enough of a roll for 1/2 unless youre insanely unlucky or a bad player. However if that's a liferoll to you're in not a good shape. Are you living at home right now? If work 2 jobs for 80 hours a week and save up 10k and read more books and every post on 2+2 Live low limit.
I'm trying to do the same as you right now, but I have a 3k bankroll and a 3k liferoll for food + rent + college expenses and i feel that even THIS isn't enough.
If you get sick, get into an accident, get mugged or basically life variance happens you're screwed.
look i know it's not optimal, i know that... but this is my dream... i quit my day job 3 days ago, and have felt better about my life than i ever have, working a 9-5 making minimum wage makes me want to kill myself, poker is my dream..... this is my shot... i must make the best of it.. i have a good working car, but i'm kind of scared to drive across the country by myself, whne the most i've driven at one time is a couple hours.
good for you man, yeah i agree 10k-15k would probably be best, but like i said i have 4k-4.5k and i must make the best of what i have...
then if something like that happens, i guess it just wasnt meant to bee........
craigslist is a good idea ty
