Im turning pro in December 2019

Hello, please wish me luck poker community. I will start being a full time professional live cash grinder in December playing 1/2 1/3 nl. im starting off in the small limits to really get a feel for the full time grind and how to handle myself. my main game is actually 5/5 PLO but i hope to jump into that action later.
i will be running social media and websites at the same time to document and promote the poker and travel lifestyle.
Any advice from other full time grinders is welcome.

not a full time grinder, but I do wish you the best of luck! Please post your channels so people can follow. I think there will be so many interested to see a live traveler and player assuming you do document your stuff a lot.... I think it will really click!

I would like to wish good luck, it is a very important decision, come back to give us news.

My three best pieces of advice:
1. Bankroll Management
2. Table/Stakes Selection
3. Bankroll Management

exactly. just to give some juicy details. my starting bankroll will be 20k, and i have lots of the blogging equipment lined up.
ive learned from playing for years that a stop loss is absolutely critical, at least for me. in fact i would say well executed stop losses is what separates winning players from losing players.

Are you talking about making a pass on time?

how long did it take to learn to achieve a quality game?

I'm not sure what your question is. But the point is people have a hard time leaving from a tough table.

if you are really good, go for it, but if not, no problem. wish you luck.

honestly, like 11 years. not 11 years of straight grinding more like going thru phases where i played a lot (lost a lot) but learned all kinds of angles to poker. i learned PLO which brought me to the next level, and i trained myself to not get stressed over losing money.

Congrats
wish you the best of luck

Good luck it will be interesting watching your progress.

Good luck.

I am looking forward to see you progress.

it is a lot of time, as the development of a profession, at the university 2 happy, 2 higher educations !!! For this result, you probably got a lot of patience, this is very cool !!!

I wish you the best of luck, I think you will need it.

I wish you the best of success!

You aren't worried that rake will kill your profit playing under 2/5 ?

Best of luck to you .. I look forward to following along : )

Ya, trying not to worry about that on a psychology level, that's why I got the website side hustle going and most importantly the networking! Looking for tips from other pros about where the best games are.

Good luck to you. Let your path be dotted with roses))

Thanks

I wish you the best, I will try and keep up with your progress. Keep us informed.

Good luck to you, I wish you the best and a lot of earnings.

I am wondering if you have selected what sites to us and why. Rake? Also are you going to multi table when grinding and if so how tables (same sites?).
I think the number of tables is key to making a living
Plus your required income level based on where you live.

Good luck in your poker journey!

Good luck to you.

I think that time management is most important. The goal is to play less, not more. To me, grinding means being able to walk away from the table, after a short period of time, with a small profit or a small loss. People who aren't capable of this are gamblers, not grinders.

Good luck to you, but do not forget the fans.

It's a big decision. I hope that you have a good bankroll to start. Good luck!

You are starting at really good time for training from really experienced and profitable teachers with endless free content online as well Break a leg, pal

I wish you all the best. I sure hope you can do it.

Hey best of luck you! You are staring on the dream voyage that many of us dream about, but few will actually "go for it". Maybe one day when you are crushing games at the WSOP in Vegas, you will give us early posters first crack at a piece of your ACTION!

Have you had any private one on one coaching? If so, how much?

How much time per day or week or month (whatever makes sense to you) do you spend playing vs studying/analyzing?

And you MIGHT want to avoid using the term "angle" anywhere near an actual table - but I know what you intended! LOL It's all good!!

Seriously, good luck from this casual low/micro stakes player!

It will be a while before I get to professionalization I hope one day I get there, but it is a little difficult because I have no time to play


I wish you the best of luck in your endeavor, and you have very good results in this new phase of poker

wow you must be very good, It's very hard, I think I stay as a professional in poker.
I wish you good luck

I hope you post your blog so we can follow your progress. The thought of leaving my day job to go pro (if I was a good player lol) is terrifying. I think it's brave, and I wish you the best of luck! Follow the dream

I wish you the best of luck and look forward to seeing your progress.

If your good enough you don't need good luck wishes. And if your not luck is not enough.

I wish the best for you. Bankroll management is crucial. I will try to follow your progess. Why did you make this decision? Personally, I find it risky as compared to have a job where you know you will earn you salary each month, but that depends on your risk aversion.

Anyways, I wish the best for you!

It is risky and my starting roll may very well be closer to 30k

Just to give an update, I still fully plan on turning pro.

We all have dreams of going pro..... good luck, it's a hard lifestyle.

I am guessing that you need to take living expenses out the $20K or have living cost been put aside for a while? With that in mind, what are you expecting to earn per month for your first year? I hope that's not too personal, planning on doing the same thing and just interested in the thought process.

I do wish you the best of luck! And come back to give us news.

Bro, I know my advice is not what you want to hear, but it comes from the heart, so here it is: Don't turn pro in December.Instead, make 3 posts daily on CC, and in 30 days apply for Freeroll Club membership. Apply for the ACR Stormer program and stream the freerolls on Twitch, I heard they give you real tournament money for that. Gain experience first, before blowing your 20 grant savings.


I looked you up on Sharkscope and you are a losing player, -$277 to be exact, playing small buy-in tournaments. I understand that live poker is different than online, but not different enough to turn a losing player into a professional.

Having a financial cushion is great, and you could become a student of poker first, playing freerolls and studying the game full time, and once you master the game of poker and achieve outstanding impulse control you can conquer the casino tables.

Good luck in everything you do, please forgive me for not being supportive to your decision, I don't mean any disrespect whatsoever, just giving you an honest opinion about the situation, that's all.

December is not far off, the tension from waiting is growing.
I wish you success!
good luck at the tables!

Good luck and don't let the downswings change your mind.

Allow me to share a few words of wisdom from Sun tze art of war with you.
Keep these in mind, it will help you along the way to achieve your goal.

1) 计划赶不上变化
It means: No matter how well your plan is, be prepared to overcome unforeseen circumstances

2) 知己知彼，百战不殆
It means: Know yourself and know your enemy, then you will not be defeated

3） 走为上策
It means: When you know you are defeated, don't be stubborn. Retreat is your best option, prepare yourself again for a comeback.

You have a good idea and desire. Good luck with the game. It will be interesting to see how things go. I hope all will be ok. The main thing is to monitor the bankroll, observe the sobriety of the mind in the game😎

December is near, wish you good of luck and give us info how things are going

Good luck man!If you really feel this is the right time to become a poker pro,so go ahead but be careful with your bankroll management and your rest hours.Keep us informed of how you are doing.
