Close enough to make it hurt. After 8 hours+ of play I got heads up in the deep stack event and finished 2nd. It was this event that drive me to want to win that one live title. I had not had that goal until after watching the champion get his in that event. It was then I really started my journey to improve and go for my title. Sadly, for me, just as I felt ready to really go for it covid hit. This has allowed me to become an even better player by working on my game more but it's had to find games at this point that qualify for my goal. It will get better as time goes on and i hopefully will have my chance again just hoping its sooner than later. In my area of the world tournaments like those are rare at the moment but we do have a wsop Circuit event coming in March of next year so I will get a shot at least then,

My goal is to learn how to play in such a way as to receive a regular, even not very large, but regular income. Unfortunately, so far my game and results look very unstable, about like the Bitcoin exchange rate

Wow, so close! I hope you're able to get there.
You mentioned you spent time improving in the game - how did you do that?

How did I improve. I started to really study more and more of the game. I used a coach and tried a few training site until I found one I really was comfortable with. Once I found the perfect one I was given the advice to to really work on my game piece by piece and treat it like I was getting a collage degree. I even gave up playing a lot of poker over a 20+ month span.
I took the advice to heart and really concentrated on each are of the game and until I was really improved and understood that section of the game I would not more to another section. While I am still working on my game and still have a lot to learn I have a much better understanding of the game today.
I only recently started playing ore seriously again and the results have been really good.

Beyond just financial success, my goal is to maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle through poker. This involves managing both wins and losses gracefully, staying disciplined in my approach, and ensuring that poker remains an enjoyable and fulfilling part of my life.

That sounds like a very professional approach, super interesting to hear. Kinda like an athlete preparing for the upcoming season.
Which training site did you use, if you don't mind sharing?

$100 per week would be nice and make it worth it. As I spend a good 25 hour week play though it's well below min wage in the UK anyway. But nice as a paying hobby, pay for my annual holiday at least
At 200 dollars p week I could think of moving to se Asia for a few months doing the digital nomad thing.

It is funny how you put that and its exactly correct and how I did it. I used to be an athlete and was close to being a professional player. I do actually prepare like an athlete.
I will PM you the site I am part of.
