i have worked part-time the last 12 months, allowing time to explore the potential of poker as a viable part-time-job for the next couple of years while i explore more of life.
I'm up about $20k in poker over that 12 months. Goal was to boost my poker profits to $25k, looks as though i'll be missing by about $1k (i was about there a few days ago though). Bonuses and rakeback were far more important than they should have been.
I am now unemployed. Tomorrow night I have my desk closing party at work. I guess that means I'm now a pro-poker player? I head to Europe in under two weeks and am likely to play only erratically for a while.
Thanks to everyone who has commented in this thread, replied to hands posted here and around FTR, explained the errors of my poker thinking, and written the diamonds scattered through this site.
Soon I will start another op-thread.
I need to set some goals. I don't want to be a 1ptBB/100 multi-tabling small stakes grinder clearing a few k every month ad infinitum. Time to lift my game.
$100k+++ in the next 12 months. Game-on.
