I quit my job.
am going to play poker for a living.
I need full time study partners..
must have very high iq..

i've won half a million dollars total over the years playing online poker but also had alot not paid to me by sites that closed etc.
One place recently owed me 150,000 dollars and closed and did not pay me out.

Anyways, if your a pro or full time player also or have a high iq and like to study ALL DAY LONG.. reply or pm me.

thanks

I'm not saying you deserved it but just saying, I'd never leave more than 2k on a site at the end of a session. In other words, if and when I am rich enough to be playing at thousand dollars over 3 hundred dollar stake levels, I'd put in the k's at the start of my session and pull them out leaving 2k max afterwards.

The cost of transfer would be negligible. I never will risk being scammed unless it's during my actual session (even then, I'd never be depositing that huge of an amount).

Even ignoring that though, I only play at extremely trustworthy sites. Other than party poker and bet365 I don't think there's any 'long term trustworthy' sites for USA users.

I'm based in UK for my play and have therefore the ability to play on pokerstars. I also am very certain 888 will never scam as even in east european nations that recently outlawed it (the site itself not all online poker) it paid off all users.

That's fantastic!!! Are you exclusively playing online only?
I am trying to take that leap at some point in the next 6 months to a year.
what size bankroll did you start with to get to where you are know?

Also, I too study a lot off the tables. if you need a study partner I'd be interest to hear what you had in mind

I have messaged you. I can only guarantee to be an intellectual rival in cash games.

In tournaments you may be superior to me, I am not bad at them I just don't enjoy the anxiety of being shallow stacked outside of payouts placings. I am very sensitive to anxiety as an emotion so it really makes me feel sick inside if the tournament gets too intense.

I would also quit my job if poker would make a profit to me permanently, and it would be possible not to work and live in poker and earn in it, and sometimes I have a profit from poker but this is very rare, and I have losses if you get to make a big profit from poker then good luck to you!

If i have a half million dollar I would invest half of it on something that could generate some income and play the remaining half according to the bankroll....This way I will have full confidence when i encounter swings and badbeats...Because losing will always come in the way Anyway GL to ur journey 😊👊

Hey Mike - where do you live in the US? Many of the American online pros move to other countries to play - Costa Rica and canada (Vancouver in particular) are the two that I'm familiar with. That way they can play on Stars. Really, at your level, why would you choose to play any site other than Stars?

2 Possibilities here.

A - You are not genious with your post and is trying to somehow scam someone here. In which case I urge members to be cautious when interacting with you.

B- You are a beginner and have done what you have said. In which case I urge you to be cautious with bragging about winnings. There are other ways to word a post like this that can achieve your same goal. There are legitatimate members here but anyone can sign up here so there maybe people that will not have good motives for helping you.


If B is the case there are many members here that can help you with your study group. But we will need more information e.g. type of game, limits speed.

With regards to a site owing you that much I advise you to seek legal advice. No one here can directly help you with that. Talk to a lawyer they would be able to put things in place for you to recover funds. Many of the shady sites tend to settle quickly when you do formal legal proceedings. Telling them you will take legal action against them will not work but when I a legitatimate law firm or lawyer issues them a letter they bend cause most of the times they are engaging in a lot of illegal activity and will almost always settle to get away from investigations.

If I were you, I would focus on playing live with other players, if your so inclined to get paid. Why risk your cash on a computer if your betting such large sums of money....
I would play without a computer, if I could find others to play...
