Hey guys, Ive been playing poker all my life but been playing at casinos for 3 years now. I want to start making a living of this, i know im good and can do well.i just wanted to ask people if they have any tips of giving poker a go for a career? i usally play at a $2/$3 table with a 300 dollar max buy in.
I started a logbook so i can monitor my losses and wins and though ive only been to the casino twice im $210 profit, which i know is hardley a career but its something.... these are the following questions i would like answers to?
1) when it is time to leave? i have a habbit with getting a huge stack early and losing it slowley over the next 5 hours or so, i dont want to go to the casino for 30 min and then just leave. to me that sounds boring and i love playing poker. like a few days ago i bought in with 500 and made it all the way up 1200 very quickly i had AA and he had KK and we were all in pre flop. anyway i lost a good 500 over the next 4 hours not playing any big hands and left with 160 profit which sucked since i was 700 up.
2) How do you reset yourself? I was playing a cash game and no joke i folded 3 hands in a row... first hand i had 7,8 and i would of floped a straight, second hand i had Q,3 and would of floped a fullhouse, third hand i had 2,7 and would of floped trips? I was trying to calm myself down but couldnt get over it, since the all the pots were huge and i could of made alot of money. any tips for simply reseting in times like this or bad beats?
3) just any tips at all for trying to make a living of this?
Thanks guys all coments are very valuable.
