Ok: I put in a super long session today to reach the 500 hour milestone. Here are my full stats and graphs.

$23,645, or 24 BBs an hour. At $2-$100 spread-limit!

Thank you!

I celebrated on Saturday by having a 3-hour session where I VPIP-ed 95%. Made $150 (all thanks to out-running my All-In EV), and indeed, it was a ton of fun. Everyone is so nice when you’re playing like a fish, and since you play every hand, you’re never bored!

Old hat for all you guys who’ve played a zillion hands online but:

I got my first Royal Flush today! Picked up a neat $640 high-hand promotion, PLUS a fanny pack from their merch store (which was, in certain respects, more valuable.)

BRRRRRRAKING NEWS:

I have a round 2 interview for a job back in the mortgage industry next week. I am extremely confident that I’m gonna get the job, meaning my poker career will finally be over.

I’ve been in a downswing for the last two months, and my overall win rate (over 560 hours) is down to 20.5 BBs/hour.

I did NOT get the job.

And also…my poker career is over again. The downswing wiped out my $2,000 bankroll—I lost my last $300 of it today.

Final stats—including the downswing that ended it.

It’s funny that my win rate in both stints—July-December 2022 and then July-December 2023–were almost the exact same, 20 BBs an hour.

But…oh well. Now I continue applying for work in a desperate attempt to get a full-time job again. Part-time at the Doggy Day Care is not gonna cut it.

That sucks man. Your bankroll was $2,000? How much was your buy in? That is unfortunate since you seem to have a pretty good win rate. We can talk a out bankroll managent all day, but at the end of the day, you have to be in a pretty fortunate position to have the bankroll to play poker. Hard or impossible when your expenses require you to take from your bankroll each month.

I would buy in for $300 each time, the max.

Yeah, at the start of my adventure back in July I had taken out $3,000 in cash, stuffed it in my sock drawer, and that was my “bankroll.” Every Friday I would take my profits and put them in our checking account. But after a few break-even weeks in October I just moved $1,000 of my “bankroll” into our checking account, so my “bankroll” was down to $2,000.

And then over the last month, well…. This happened, lol [Uploading Image...]

Bro, less than 7 buy ins and you were destined for failure. Not sure if your financial situation allowed for it, but the play would be to grow your bankroll until it was sustainable. Even if you deposit some of it in the bank.

UPDATE: So I got a job back in the mortgage industry last month, and since then I’ve started going back to poker—just playing “for fun” one or two nights a week. I’m paying my bills with the office job—whatever I make in poker is just fun money now.

So due to this, I have recently crossed a new milestone: 600 hours at $1-$2 ($2-$100 spread-limit).

Here’s a link to my stats, including the sessions I’ve played since starting the job (I’m sun-running again). Back up to 20 BBs an hour!

If you're making 40/hr at poker just stick with that for now and find a sales job you can do from home - mortgage broker, real estate agent, etc. Doesn't sound like your job prospects are anything too worthwhile, and maybe you can grow that poker winrate into 80/hr or more one day at higher stakes.

There are no higher stakes and his EV at 1/2 is definitely not $40/hr no matter how hot his AV has been.

Even with that ridiculous hot streak OP has still managed to go broke twice because he doesn't keep a sufficient bankroll.

To be clear, I only went broke once. The first time I quit is was simple burnout.

IN OTHER NEWS I was able to speed-run my way into a new job, one that—impossibly—starts on Monday. This is especially welcome news for me because I never told my wife I lost my job.

GZ!

Did job one give severance? Might end up coming out ahead.

Won the absolute stupidest hand of my life last night:

Two limps, MP raises to 16, a call, I 3-bet to 50 w Kd4c in SB, straddle and limper and opener all call. Flop Ac8h2h. I bet 75, a fold, Guy raises to 175 and has 20 behind. Opener folds. I put him all-in and he calls. Turn 4x River 2x. He says “you’re good” and tables 65hh

I would know because I play the same way or maybe even worse!
