Last Chance

lol you sound like me 2 years ago. emotions can be the biggest drain on the BR, no doubt about it. best of luck to you

YOU CAN DO IT

GO

Working can be fun, why you guys have such a negative image of work ? Because dead beats with no ambitions who get to work 9-5 told you it sucked ?

Emotional control is 90% of the game. Luck is 9%. The other 1% is strategical skill and hand reading.

I've worked several jobs. I've interned at a law firm for 2 summers and they've given me an offer that I've accepted.

Dollar for dollar I'd take normal job over poker for sure.

The thing is that poker can theoretically pay much much more.

there are tons of other options that arent 9-5 jobs btw, apart from poker -.-

20% luck, 10% skill, 15% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure, 50% pain, 100% reason to remember my name

wherever this is form it suits to poker almost to perfection

and if you get a 9-5 job consider yourself lucky

try not to focus as much on winning but on making the right decisions, since you will get obsessed with results and this fucks up your game, I had this a lot too.

I would say GL, but thats probably an insult to a poker player

woaah, alot of responses.

I've worked 9-5 jobs, I didn't like it. I've worked 9-5 jobs as electrician which is what I am. I just didn't like it. The work itself can be fun but doing it all day every day for the greater part of my life isnt appealing at all. I'd love to be able to travel, to be impulsive. Now poker is obviously a long shot at being able to achieve that sort of life, but I've got other plans in motion aswell.

Even if I never in a million years get good enough to even support a mediocre lifestyle by playing poker, I'd love to get my emotions under control since it would be something I have use of in everyday life.
And yes, as the economy looks right now with not many houses being built, I would need a big bunch of luck to even get a job as an electrician.
Thanks for all the well wishes :-)

sounds like your head is on a lot straighter than I thought

good luck yo
