Hey guys! Its been a while since i have posted. Kinda got away from poker for a little while to do a little more reading. So i got some big questions for you all. I am in a dilemma. Ill start off with a little basic info and then ill give you my situation and then please give lots of honest feedback.
So im 20 years old and I live in iowa, (legal age for poker is 21). I have been playing poker “seriously” for about 4 years now. Tried a little online but mostly cash games. I have a 2 year degree from a community college. I am now making 50-60k a year. Very good money for my age I know. I am getting married in 2 years and my “wife” has a job offer for 50K a year with opportunities for 100k a year in the next 5 years. I will keep making 50-60k a year as long as I keep traveling for my job. The problem is my wifes job is in a big city and my job is not within driving distance. So I guess what I am getting at is that she has a better opportunity to make more money so I have to go where she can get a job.
I am looking for something to do in the city, and guess what…I LOVE POKER!!! <3 Ha Ha. I want to get a part time job and then start playing poker semi-pro and then hopefully upgrade to pro someday. I have read a lot of articles on this and I just want some “live” advice.
I play no limit poker and I feel comfortable playing at most anywhere from $1/$2 to $2/$4 blinds. I like tourneys as well. Less than $500 buy in. I consider my self and “ok” player. I have a natural ability to get reads off people as in weak or strong hands. I don’t know all the terms, im slow on calculating my odds, and I don’t have a lot of support in my dreams, (at least one bracelet in my life). I understand all the concepts of poker very well. I don’t have any data and I will have a bank roll of 50k in 2-3 years. I have no debt so its all going into saving…except for what I blow on toys!
My question to all of you is what should I do if I want to pursue my poker dreams? Is it possible to reach my poker dreams? Do you recommend pursuing my goals? If so anyone want to do a little coaching? I mean real coaching. I am willing to pay a little for some real advice or coaching. If you have any interest in coaching someone post ur email or some way to contact you and I will!!
I didn’t proof read this at all so it might not make any sense. Sorry
Thanks everyone
