Hi, Im unemployed, Im not expecting the community to blow smoke up my rear on the glamorous life style you can live playing online poker all day every day, but I got a lot of time on my hands and a little bit of money to play a lot of online poker.
Id like to know the game pretty thoroughly and know of which things I should get (such as hold em manager 2) any books that perhaps I should read and anything else.
Without getting into too many personal details, Im finding, finding a job, to be very difficult, on top of that, I got a 2nd DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) further making finding a job harder and probably next to impossible. There is a good chance I will lose my license for some time. Basically Im gonna be stuck in the house for long hours and possibly the better part of a year if I do happen eventually lose my drivers license . Ideal situation for learning online poker if you ask me. Lots of time stuck with just me, a tv, a dvd player and a computer with an internet connection.
Id like to start by getting a recommended book on poker strategy, Im between a beginner and an intermediate player, I understand how the game works and the rules, currently, playing micro stakes, Im on my 4th day of play, playing the cheapest tables of microstakes, and blew through most of my first starting amount ($50) but I am learning much faster playing superior card players than what I had been use to when I played more casually, back when I had a job.
So any tips on how to turn this into a source of side income could really help me, again plenty of time, I have some money to spare and I have a basic understanding of the game. Any help would be much appreciated.
