well. if you can make more money playing poker than at your full time job( and have done so consistently for over a year) then you can try it

I'm glad that Chiren80s come into the poker community, seems like he's going bring in some new guys exactly like OP

you should read the Twilight series of books, it helped me alot at the beginning of my poker career...

why will you ask

Because it gave me a life tilt, and after I was ALWAYS on tilt so I learned to play this way... now nothing can influence me and distract me from playing my A game.

True story

i rlly hope ur not a dude and read those books.

Clazi, you're from Quebec.

I'm from Quebec.

Just go to CEGEP (like me, I'm at Vanier), and play and study between your breaks (I have 3-4hr breaks per day).

CEGEP is easy, and if you really don't want to, you can still pass without going to every class.

There is really no way to go from facebook poker to grinding real stakes super profitably. Work your way up, and have a back up plan.

PS, join the french forum, or you can PM me if you want to talk in French

i read twilight during sessions to keep me in the poker mindset

Interested to know what kind of bankroll OP is starting his poker career at.

lol

op don't listen to the haters

This **** the haters

yea man...im pretty sure you WoW dudes could beat the stank outta this **** with your leather asses and all. Do yourself a favor and go to school while playing...but im sure you know that already.

no potential.

do what everyone else here does (younger people)

get a part time job or go to college

play poker on the side for extra income and if you become so good at it that u can make a living off of it(rare) THEN try it

All I see in this thread is FAIL.

people who failed and say that others cant do it.

You can do it OP! I say, **** them, if that is what you want to do, go for it. Al this back up plan, get a degree bs is just dumb crap. Sometimes you just know what you want to do. And myself, like you, know that there is nothing else I want to do. You can succeed, just like anyone can succeed, if they put everything they got into it.

Oh and another thing, there will always be naysayers, you just gotta ignore them and post a graph in 6 months that will make their jaws drop, like I plan to.

Good Luck!

how is getting a degree dumb crap?

u really think ur gonna make a living off poker for the next 40 years?

get real man

who says anyone will even play poker 10+ years from now

The only FAIL I see in this thread is the fact that he wants to go from FACEBOOK MONEY, to playing real money to make a living............

You can't go from FACEBOOK MONEY (lolz), to 200NL, 400NL, 300NL, 1000NL

God is more likely to come down with ten strippers, gandhi and mother teresa to play poker with isildur.

Of course one can become pro, but it takes work.

haters gon' hate. go for it op.

What OP is wishing to accomplish has been done before. So people who say that OP has no chance, probably struggle with the game to different degrees. So yah, it might not work out for you, but it just might! So give it a go.

Thanks for all the replys guys, got mutch more answers then what I expected at first.
Most of the people here say it better to get a plan B and get back to school,
I totally agree with the Plan B but is going back to school the best to do?

Wouldn't it be better to start saving money with my part time job while
learning poker when Im not working? I could start building a good bankroll right
now while learning and then invest that money into poker to get more
insted of spending money to go back to school to get a Plan B witch im not
even sure if i'll like it.

Im in a point of my life where I need to decide what i'll do later and more explanation on your tought about going back to school vs saving money would be really apreciated.

Also I know that facebook poker is stupid, I've played alot and found out that people
go all in when they have pair of 2 -.-', im playing pokerstars play money atm and
it actually better then facebook poker but still lots of people do evident mistake
that could easily be avoided. Curently, Im winning alot on stars and on facebook,
playing 5 table at the time (withc I think is good for a beginner). Why would it be so hard to raise my level and become a serious competitor on real money poker aswell?

I've player with friends on table with real money and still beated them, is the online such harder then the real life poker?

Oh, and btw im also interested in that french forum if you could send me a link in pm it would be greatly apreciated

Thanks guys and have a nice day !

Lol facebook poker o my this thread has not improved content wise I see.

your English is astounding if that's any indication on how well you learn things please come play at my table.

Nobody saying don't try to become successful at poker, just saying have a plan b and don't expect to go pro overnight.


And besides uni is fun as hell if u make the most of ur xp.

^^^^^ What he said.

fwiw I was playing, and losing at play money less then 15 months ago so if op wants to take poker seriously, there shouldn't be much problem

Bannnnnn is on a roll.

Let's hear your french.
