People staking for live cash games

[pleno1]

Online cash is a lot harder than it was8 years ago

where do you get the info of this from? people said this 5 years ago, 4 years ago, 3 years ago etc etc. Since I was 18 (I'm now 25) all I've heard is poker was so easy back then.

While I hear what you are saying and staying ahead of the curve, working on your game, more resources available now. The games were massively easier if you go back ore uigea.

A current 1/2 reg would crush 10/20 if he had a time machine to get back to 2005.

people make a huge deal of how much harder poker's gotten, yes it's gotten harder, but EVERYTHING like this gets harder as time goes on.

What about some form of part time work? Would ensure you have pin money to pay bills, and you can focus on grinding yourself back to a better position.

Certainly a posibility. Not sure what kind of things I could get into. Unfortunately for me at this point I don't have any work experiance, which would obviously count against me.... also didnt finish my degree (i'll spare everyone the sob story on that one), but I guess that's fairly irrelevant for part-time work. Obviously i'd prefer not to, but it seems silly to rule it out completely if needs must.

BTW if anyone reading is interested (assume it will be people i know fairly well), feel free to drop me a text or a PM... i'm obviously very flexible about what i'm willing to do in terms of getting something going. Ty for the support everyone too.

In terms of part time work, I could sort something out regarding poker for around $15/hour that you could do when watching countdown o r having your breakfast.

Going into a part time job usually involves weekends, fuck working 8 hours in Morrisons on a Saturday afternoon or till 4am in the local bar. You need to be fresh for Sundays.

Also makes morale significantly lower. Getting a part time job when you could very easily be a rb pro and make more than $10/hour just doesnt make sense to me.

Whats this Pads? Obv interested if so, let me know please.

Yeh I agree playing online cash woud be a good way to move forward. I used to make really decent profit from a certain site playing 100nl and 200nl, but I simply can't afford to be playing these limits (or any for that matter right now). I'd probably have to play backed for a short while until I grind out a 2/3k roll to play from. I simply neglected my cash game roll for way too long and had to xfer it out to pay bills etc. Wont be doing that again!

Maybe, maybe not, my job is no harder than it was back then. One thing for sure is poker is disproportionally harder than most things 7 or 8 years ago because of the sheer amount of money that could be made back then so everyone was chasing it.

ping me on skype pat.leonard.ps and chat about it there.

Earning $20 an hour. There's no way I could be motivated enough to even get out of bed. Serious.

I stopped reading after that.

Yeh not sure if serious.

Although the sentiment of that statement come across a bit wrong - I think I get what Nathan means. Whilst the average salary is about £26k, that is an average - and whilst I don't know OP well, if he has the intelligence and education of other young pros like stato, Dave, Alex etc their earnings potential in a career would ultimately mean you wouldn't get out if bed for $20 an hour. We then get into the whole life +ev debate which is a great one but very individual.

Precisely Shaun. How could it be taken any other way?

20 dollars is tax free remember....

if anybody wants to get out of bed for 15-20 dollars a day hour feel free to get in touch with me and I can set it up.

Think that I would almost sell my soul to the devil to be earn that amount means I could get away from this crappy job and spend time doing what I want to do, which is to spend more time with my family.  Tell us more please Patrick.

Wil add you on skype if that's okay?

He speaks about planning for exit strategies in poker, depression when in a bad state f mind and lots of other great stuff.
