First i have posted this question another forum also. Loking for all the advice and suggestions i can get.
first off thanks for looking at the thread. The other thing is my grammar and spelling suck so just warning you.
So little about me. I had 3 kids and was married by 17 I made 3.84 hr frying chicken at Hardee's. So I dropped out of HS and went straight to work to take care of my family. So that's why my spelling grammar and all that **** sucks. It on with so I ended up doing fairly well considering the odds that were stacked against me.
The problem is the work I have done has been very hard on my body and now at the age of 40 I have had a double fusion and looking at another fusion for my c5 c6. So the Doctor tells me I'm done with my job that I have had for 16 years no pension. Again not gonna go into great detail. Just trying to say November 29th is gonna be my last day. I will have a source of income that will cover all living expenses with around 400.00 a month extra. My fiancé is on board with me doing this and she also brings in 7k a month so she isn't worried about it. She understands there will be swings and is behind me 100%
So I have been playing poker since 2000 or so. The problem is after all these years never took the time to learn poker study poker. Won some cash here and there lost 10k or so online but had fun doing it so not a big deal. But now I feel like I have a chance to actually try and make this a way of making some extra cash. So I have started to build a bankroll I will build till I'm at 20k i will be there in September but I'm not planning starting then I'm planning on waiting till after my job is done so I don't have to worry about time.
Now what I'm looking for is advice on how to study. I have been reading books watching you tube reading forums you name it I'm talking like 4-6 hrs a day I'm trying to learn been going through the upswing lab and I just don't feel like I am retaining the amount I should be. It's like it's not clicking with me. The math the hand equity and how do it quickly while playing. So any advice would be greatly appreciated.
My other question is with a 20k roll should I still play 1-2 till I hit 30k to make step to 2-5? I also not sure if I should play some online while I study and learn. Eventually I will play mostly live I just don't like online poker. Not gonna get into i have my opinions and that's just it opinions.
So anyway thanks for reading all that if you did. And any advice is welcome and have good one.
