In a terrible mess, need urgent help In a terrible mess, need urgent help

I've been a winning player for years now or at least was winning money, but I virtually busted all my bankroll now despite the management I was always employing and never had any problems. But lately I've struggled and now I lost almost everything playing Stars super turbo headsup. I would do fine if I was winning my fair share of showdowns, but the variance proved to be brutal. It's almost as it's no use of going in ahead anymore for me.

In short, I need to find a way to make around 1000$ a month at low or even micro stakes, preferably on some other site, for the time being to cover basic living expenses until I eventually sort things out to be able to quit the game. I don't find it fun anymore at all and frankly I doubt I'll be playing ever again after that.

I prefer sitngos and am adaptable regarding the format. I probably won't be able to play more than 8 hours a day and have an available bankroll of a few hundred USD tops.

Please help, it got very serious this time.

Thank you.

Lol what?
Are you asking for staking? if so wrong thread. Or are you asking how to make money playimg poker?

Really dont think you should be playing poker if you dont know to make money out of it.

Also this is prob the only semi serious answer your going to get here. So........

Spoiler:

I've been in a similar spot and I can appreciate how ****ty it feels. The best advice isn't what you want to hear, but its what you should do: quit poker now and go get a job.

No matter what the job is, you need to find balance in your life. Chasing a gambling debt, or having to make a certain amount of money to survive through poker, will cause you to go insane, play worse, and lose more.

Accept that you are starting over. The lessons this teaches you will one day feel more valuable than the money you lost. Good luck sir!

You should grind at a level you are propperly rolled for such as the popular 50NL or 100NL 5max cash games on a Euro network but only if you are in the EUro Zone. Watch out & beware: don't play 200NL until you have at least 2.5 buyings for the level. Stick to this as a general rule.

Next step: win 5 buyings= $1000 , cashout, rinse and ripeat every 1st Tuesday of every month

Poker is incredibly simple once you really think about it you just have to use propper bankroll managments and evrything will fall in2 place

Working this way will save you time so you can enjoy life

May the fauce be with you sir

yea Ive been there bro, where ur losing every flip, and only winning once out of 5 when ur ahead, cuz ur opponents keep turning and rivering 2 pair on u, or worse runner runner flush etc.

i used to pwn HUSNG, now I wont touch them cuz the variance is so sick. so sick that im still questioning if its legit or not... ive been crushing a game, but i dont wanna tell u what it is cuz i dont think playing poker is the best thing for u bro. I used to be obsessed with playing for a living, and other aspects of my life suffered for it. I would recommend getting a job (even if it's something just for now) and you will meet new people, and have a fresh look on things, straight up, try it bro

If you are not making over $5,000 a month and are:

- Playing full time
- Living in a developed country, and
- Over 19 years of age

You are doing it wrong... Go get a job sir.

If you plan on taking this advice OP you will need to play 1kNL for a minimum 4 hours per month, maximum 7, but only play once you have $2500 in your account from raping the mid-stakes for a day or two.

Rule 2: ! A tiny bit more Effort = a LOT more dollars

Stick to this strategy and you will never be busto again. You won't ever need to get a job because teh pokerz PAY YOUR BILLS

dude, start robbing banks, it's +EV. don't **** around with it, though, take it seriously, it's an art like poker. Read books / study tape, etc. I'll start you out in the right direction, google "hollywood bank robber seattle" and start reading about this mofo. dude was an actor and wore makeup and shiz to disguise himself, sounds corny as ish but it worked for him, he would've kept going if it weren't for his skank g/f that ratted him.make sure to deposit the cash into different banks, don't want a ****ton of hundreds laying around for obvious reasons.

happy hunting op.
