Selling my house

Not sure how relevant this is but I'm considering selling my house this spring in order to provide a nice bankroll for playing poker. The way I see it, I've hit 2 FT's in Sat's for bigger tournaments and hit the lowest level payout on the 50k, uh, twice. So, with this huge winning streak it seems the best way for me to provide for my family is poker. (By family, I mean me since my wife is crazy and won't go along with this whole idea.I'm sending her off to a North Beach apartment to live with her non-poker playing boyfriend)

Anyone that has played poker with me knows I will put all my chips out there on 2 pieces of toilet paper if I had them and I fear that may not work all the time. Where's the best place for me to start learning the in's and out's of poker? I see there is a car dealer guy gone teacher and he seems pretty good.

I ask this question here because I'm sure you've all gone through this exact same situation yourselves and I'm curious on how you made it work. Oh yeah, lost my job because I was playing the 20k on Paradise every day from my cube. Stupid non-poker playing boss, blah, blah, blah.

Where's the best online poker training? If I'm going to be using the $1500 I make after taxes and divorce as my bankroll I want to make sure I'm ready to handle all the curve balls that poker throws.

www.realpokertraining.com is the best site for online poker training HANDS DOWN in my opinion.  If you could afford it, I would suggest inviting one of the pros to your house for a heads up $50k match for the best live game training :-)

ROFL.  TiltmcTilt.  That was friggin funny.  I hope you were kidding otherwise I'll feel bad for laughing.  Thx super for the plug.  By the way, are you the same guy that just emailed me about losing job and having x bankroll to live on?  If that is a true situation, I'm glad you posted it here as you will probably get some real answers but only if you ask it in a way where they know you are serious.  The house and wife part are a joke I assume.

Bad humor and mediocre story telling are my gutless ways of saying I know I need better traing in poker even if I've had a taste of success playing in live tours. No, I didn't email you. The wife and house part are true (semi-bluff) but the dollar figures and reasons have been changed to protect the innocent.

I do still have my job but when I said cube I meant street corner turning a crank on a music box as my monkey gathers pennies in his shiney tin cup from all the tourists in San Francisco. You'll find me firmly planted on the corner of Market and Bush near all the bike messengers.

I search for free Wi-Fi spots in order get online with my Vic20 and play.

Things are looking up. Just won a sat for my seat in Thursday's $100 WSOP. All that because I let the monkey push the keys!!! Can't play the 20k today Roger, nice cash for you the other day, congrats.
