12 month plan to becoming a part time then Full Time grinder online?
Been reading some amazing books and checking out vids etc since my last post, just one other questions has arose, would it be wise to play cash games, NLHE MTTs, SNGs, Omaha & 7 card Stud in a weekly structure playing online' What would be the negatives to mixing cash with MTTs and Stud/Omaha with NLHE' Obviously the pro's over at the WSOP are playing all events and are probs masters at the majoriy of them so just curious as to if I should play them regularly too'

Family/friends against my decision to not do a 9-to-5: How do I make them understand?
see what your saying here man but no offense but u cud get run over by a bus tomorrow you never know what life brings, take each day to the full and follow your dreams. you will only live in regret. My uncle travelled the world with his mrs until he was 35 then started his own company and now he only works 4 months a year so dude I wouldnt worry so much....some people dont know what they wana do and hav no career when they 40 never mind 30! gl either way man.

Weird board texture spot...
saving your losses Id say, atleast that way he can take a stab at the river bluffing or if the heart gets there you can in most cases just lay it down for little cost, a re raise would be nasty if you bet again, guess it all depends if the guy is tight or known for check raises or whether he is just a down rite fish! :)

12 month plan to becoming a part time then Full Time grinder online?
Ok so obviously with me having a job I cant get the hours in right now, Im in profit when it comes to micro buy ins but this year Ive took shots at a few decent mid stakes tournaments to try and boost my br and move on in the game. I realise this isnt so wise when I dont have a suitable size roll to start with for these stakes so when I attack poker again towards August time Im going to stick to micro/low stakes but try to put more hours in so I have more chance to make consistent profit. I have taken weeks off work in the past, 2 of 3 ive made profit in those weeks (playing full time) so I ...

12 month plan to becoming a part time then Full Time grinder online?
Ok so ive played for a few years, mainly micro/low stakes tournaments on pokerstars, bankroll is normally around 500 but I took a few stabs during SCOOP and fell short on most so I am having some time off to study and work elsewhere whilst getting a bigger roll together so I can take the beats without pressure etc. ability wise, I know I can play low stakes comfortably, I have played some high and done ok until its crunch time and big players start making crazy moves which I fail to deal on a reg basis mainly because Im playing scared money I guess. past results, Ive had a few decent wins but ...

12 month plan to becoming a part time then Full Time grinder online?
Just wondering if any of the pro's who use pocket 5s could give some words of wisdom and help me with my passion to become a full time online grinder. I have loads of ideas, a sort of plan which will take a good 12 months before Im ready to try it out but any tips, thoughts, links any of you could give me would be much appreciated! I want this bad but at the same time I feel as though Ive rushed into poker this last year or so whilst working part time too. Now Im willing to take time to work hard to get the rewards in like a year or two from now! thanks for reading,

What you doing here?
What if the guy turns 2 pair or the guy chasing with overs or 99 1010 binks his straight' Calling makes it hard man....just think, the guy with KJs QJs can easily raise again if the turn is a blank such as 3,4,5. Id be much happier taking the pot here and now if he has such a hand and is willing to lay it down to our re raise. I guess as a last resort calling is ok and if a 2nd J comes or an Ace then you are laughing should the post flop raiser check to you. decisions decisions :)

What you doing here?
You see I dont know about you but I think hes protecting something here, yes it could be a set but it could also be top pair like KJs, QJs or J10s. the fact that the other guy just calls suggests overcards to me or maybe 1010 99 hoping for a straight, If I were you in your spot I would re raise to get information, no point just calling, atleast see where you are at, if he shoves and isnt scared then sure its probs a set, 2 pair job. Dont like the fold, dont like the call neither. anyone agree''
