Hello all,
I have been playing poker for a very long time, since I was 14 actually. I was always in the pool halls as a kid and noticed a free poker league in the local pool hall. I started dealing for them cause I thought it was neat you could make money doing something so fun. From there I started playing mostly free to start but being from an already heavy leaned towards gambling atmosphere in the pool world it did not take long for me to get into cash games.
Eventually I was old enough to play at casino's and it got worse from there. I was a losing Reg at the local casino but just thought it was bad luck and variance when actually I just didn't know how to quit. I got really involved in the game and wanted to know everything about it, but I feel like I haven't taken the appropriate steps to actually try and be profitable.
For the most part I would use my job to bankroll me too play in WAY to high of stakes and lose tens of thousands of dollars every year. I also continued to deal for most of my life as another side income. Downfall to that though is that the majority of that money from dealing was sent down the rabbit hole of my bad gambling habits. I understand the game well and have studied the game relentlessly. I just seem to lack the capability of using strict bankroll management.
I have recently decided that I want to commit and become a profitable player and not just recreational "fun" player. I am starting with $100.00 on ACR and plan to try and follow strict bankroll management. Any thoughts, advice, tips, and information that you think is valuable to me will be greatly appreciated.
