Sick Life Decision...WWYD?
OP is from Portugal. I think people are forgetting that $1k/mo is a hell of a lot more in Portugal than the US.

Reflecting on 2010: How Did You Do?
Pretty big transition year for me, both in life and poker. I separated from the Air Force after 8 years. Moved to LA from Ohio with my gf for Grad School and to have live poker options. Cashed in 3 of 7 WSOP events, top 50 in each. Bubbled a ME cash. Learned I could go to school and support myself playing poker. Pretty good year.

Consolidated downswings/running bad Thread
I play 9-man turbos with about the same roi. I think my worst is 40-45 bi. I don't think that 100 bi downswing is THAT likely, but I think you can expect 75ish with enough volume.

Weird Spot at Commerce $1M Gtd
Shover was a middle aged guy, 45-50ish. He had limped a ton and looked visual upset when he was raised and couldn't see a flop. I believe I had raised his limp 2 times b4 and he fold and called/folded flop. I wasn't too worried about the EP guy even though the call of 2/5ths his stack was weird. He didnt seem to be really aware of stack sizing and tourney strategy. Anywho...I tanked for a few minutes and decided to call, putting him on something like 77-JJ, AJ+. Shover showed AA. EP guy folded and was upset when a 6 hit as he apperently had 66. I still think it was most likely the right ...

Weird Spot at Commerce $1M Gtd
Blinds were at 150/300/25a. We were about 15 mins away from 200/400/50a and I have 10,000. The table had been very limp happy. I don't have a very good image, I have been raising about 3 times per orbit and had to show down a few steals. EP, MP, SB has been weak/tight and pretty straight forward to that point. BTN seemed to be a good player. EP limps with ~5,000 MP limps, has me slightly covered BTN limps, has me slightly covered SB completes with ~20,000 BB (Hero) raises 1,500 more with 10 10 EP calls MP SHOVES BTN fold SB folds Hero......'

Re:WTF is up with Poker Stars customer service, deposit issues, tournament whackiness etc.
This is beyond annoying. Was planning on playing the SCOOP $320 today. I rarely have time to play anymore, but was able to clear off today to play and now I have about 9 more minutes before registration closes and the deposit request hasnt went trough. Used to take about a minute, sitting on about 15 minutes now.

Standard, but what do you do?
I play way more cash than tourneys. If I do play tourneys online they are generally over $100 buyins. I'm trying to be....well, less shitty at online MTTs and play some more mid-stakes to learn the game better. This is a pretty standard situation, but what is my line' This is in the $50/$70K. Don't have much of a read on either player. If they were shorter stacks, I would probably just shove.

Re:Paying taxes quarterly? Hobby/Pro? Help?
I have filed the last couple years and you CAN write off losses. You just can't write off expenses if you don't file as a pro (ex. mileage/airline tickets, internet connection). Basically, I have used pokertracker for cash and pokerdb for tourneys online. For live play, I have kept records using a spreadsheet and try keeping the entry/seat assignment card for tournaments. You will have to claim all your winnings, but can write off your losses. So, you will have a large amount of winnings to report, but will ultimately only be taxed for what you made over your losses. Additionally, to ...

Hand From FTP Million
You guys fire on the turn here' The guy likes to defend his blinds and has called me from the BB twice. Each time I took the pot with a c-bet on the flop. Waiting to fire on the river may have given him enough reason to make the hero call with a 10 or 9.

Bitter Sweet
The past two days have to be the most bitter sweet of my poker life. I won a $1K Deepstack Extravaganza at the Venetian yesterday for my first live win. This was my biggest cash on paper too (we took some money off the table in a chop, but played it out). This lead me going into Day 2 of the WSOP feeling pretty good. I was playing well and was eventually able to get it all in against John Hennigan with KK vs Q 10 on a J 9 7 flop. Unfortunately, a 8 hit me on the turn. Not sure the point of the post. I guess just the high to a low on consecutive days.
