Gambling is far more fun that working. That's why you pay someone to gamble vs. have someone pay you for working. Trust me, the people at Ignition who are getting paid aren't having fun gambling.

2,3 and 4 are just looking at things where they would be to start. My guess is that you never even asked your manager, "how did you get your job and what would I have to do to get an entry level manager job?" If you did, it certainly seemed like too much effort to do to you. With my current career, I started off answering the phone to help people reset their passwords making less than you would. Not exactly rocket science. Half the promotions I got were after spending months filling in for someone else when necessary earning no extra money. When the opening showed up, I was the easy hire since I already showed I knew how to do the job. Oh, and my total compensation within 5 years was 6 figures. That's probably a bit more than you can make playing poker on your phone.

At best being an absolute crusher, you could maybe make a bit more than an entry level job being a below average employee.

Believe it or not, most places will allow you to bring your lunch with you, eliminating the need to buy fast food.

Just food for thought.

hahahaha, still hasn't learnt one thing

The post on the pros and cons of getting a job is beyond epic.

If there was a way to monetise this thread you’d be the richest man on 2p2 so have a think about that too.

+1 to a 6betme stream.

Its just incredible. OP really takes on the role of trying to come across like a serious well reflected man like its an insane important mission

It seems to me that you're an action junkie. From random river bluffs and 3 bet QJs at mouthbreather levels to "but work is boring" comments...but to be fair, you're 24/25, so can't blame you for acting 24/25ish.

1)Yes, low level work sucks. What sucks more though is being broke. Unless you're independently wealthy or you find a sucker to just float you at 20K, you have to get through hell to get to heaven. Something I've used for dating is appropriate here - those who want something find a way, those who don't find an excuse. And you are throwing out a lot of excuses.

2)Obviously don't do it forever. After I lost all of my money BF, I worked at a call center - you want to talk about mindlessness, do that ****. And it wasn't the Australian payday gold mine y'all seem to have, it was $9-12/hr, less than what I was doing online. It sucked, but poverty is WAY worse. And you're kinda in poverty - it's good that you have a massive support system enabling you.

3)Not with that attitude.

4)It's...a pizza job. If you approached that like you approached poker, it's not surprising. You should have been at least Assistant Manager of Specialty Pizza or something.

5)I could get down to 10% body fat, but eating healthy is boring, so I'm going to eat this bag of chocolate covered butter patties. At some point you have to make a plan. You do a lot of impulsive hoping.

6) lolololololololololololololol @if I work, cost of living will go up. Guess what it'll do if you don't have an income? C'mon, guess.

Your idea of grinding full time is like 15 hours a week. That's not full time. Full time would be 40-60 hours a week.

You "forgot" to answer the question you have gotten several times now OP:

How is that you havent got your hands on one of those easy entry level 500K/year jobs your friend talked about?

Also, how much do you plan to earn grinding 60nl on your phone pr month?

Exactly. This flawed thinking and flawed approach is something 6bet shares with alot of "fulltime grinders" or "fulltime pros". They think just because they dont have a daily job with income and just hang around the house all day long that they are "playing fulltime". Its complete nonsense.

If you are a pro poker player or a "fulltime grinder" you are pr definition supporting yourself solely on playing poker. That means you earn enough from grinding to pay for your own apartment/house, monthly expences such as phone,internet and food+++. Not living for free at your moms house and thus living off other people around you.


Edit: living at your moms house as a young lazy guy who wants to degen on the phone rather than getting a paid job doesent mean youre a "fulltime poker pro".

With dedication and practice, heart and commitment to the game, I don't see why a monthly profit of 2 LG Stylo 4's isn't possible

Why did you go on a holiday to thailand when your both broke, and lacking income? You realize holidays are just luxuries for those that can afford them?

A productive yet unfortunate day

Played poker for 5hrs just now and lost $300. I put in the vast majority of volume at 60nl where I lost $100, but a tiny bit of volume too at 100nl where I lost $200.

I'd say I played my B game. I did okay but probably didn't fold enough to 3bets or flop Cbets or flop raises because I wrongfully assumed that people were playing back at me a bit more than they actually were.

Kind of just unlucky for the most part though. Like when you're value betting against someone with your overpair but they end up rivering 2pr. That sort of thing.

I didn't pull too many crazy bluffs, except for one hand where I 3bet pre with A4s, bet flop, checked turn and raised river on QTxxJ. My opponent bet around half pot ($18 into $36) on the river and I raised to around $56, after which he eventually folded and I showed the bluff.

So all in all, I played about 8 hours of poker today and went to the gym as well, so it's been a productive day. Results didn't come my way though, and I'm finishing up with a bankroll of ~$1000.

Hopefully tomorrow goes better.

So now you’ve played 2 days in a row at 100nl. Last week you were talking about barely playing 60nl...

He actually answered that in one of his longer "catching up" posts. He basically said that he could easily get a 50k/yr job right now but that's for normie suckers and also it's in sales and he has social anxiety.

why this thread doesn't have 5* yet?

already has same potential as the last one

Some high level thinking right there.

Got it,then we got that one solved at least!

Why are you not just grinding the **** out of 40nl with your bankroll?

Deffo unlucky to lose 25% of your life roll in one session, no way to have avoided it though

'cause degens are going to degen. He just likes to degen in such a way that it's a relatively slow painful death rather than just losing it all in a single session.

You just don't understand how the highest level iPhone poker pros operate.

You just finished waiting 20 minutes to use the bathroom because your brother was taking a shower. You to the kitchen to crack open a nice room temperature glass of water. You head to your office, which is also your bedroom, which is also the dining room, hunch over your cell phone, and load up 3 tables for your marathon 90 minute sesh. You're going to use your borrowed money bankroll, which your dear friend is charging you an effective 60% weekly vig on, to play 40nl?!?!?!? What a poor use of your time.

Just think about it. If you go big or go home, but you already live at home, going big is the only logical conclusion. You can't go big playing 40nl. Personally, I admire his restraint at only playing 100nl and not shoting 200 or 400nl.

6bet me, you ought to write a self-hep/motivation/get-your-life-sorted book

all the insight in your reflection posts is premium, although you are not following it

better to capitalize on your strengths asap

Lol

Not a good idea to show the bluff with A4s, imo. There are a lot of regs that over fold to river check/raises. Anyone who saw that play will call your river check/raises more optimally against you.

Nah - you gotta whip out yer dong and show every 1 how much of a boss u r...waaay more important!
