How old are you? do you still live with parents? i am on my last 7.47 as we speak (sadly im not even really joking), how did you do it?. What are your total poker earnings?

1. 18
2. yes, moving into dorms on the 24th
3. lol, i dunno. if i remember i was playing the $5 tables and buying in for $1 til i got a normal roll to play the $5 tables with, then got to $10 tables, etc.
4. my total earnings arent impressive. (search: bboy) i have made like 20k, but early in my poker playing i did stupid things like buy a new(er) car, and a bunch of guitar gear i didnt need, among other things....

$1 tables, while yes are pretty much a joke, are not that bad.

Alittle while back i had $10 left sitting in my account i hadnt paid attension to in awhile. I decided to play alittle and brought it to $45 in 2 days.

They can actually pay off suprisingly.

welp, lost my 7.47, back to the drawing board...
and i can completely relate to the guitar gear... worked for guitar center for 4 months and ended up losing about a grand just from working there (not kidding)

then i won my only online tourney and bought a PRS, and havnt won much since... what kind of geetah do you play?

prs tremonti. i hate creed, however, its the nicest guitar ive ever played. i have a seymoure duncan distortion in the bridge and whatever the tremonti idiot has in the neck stock. i also i have an epi les paul lying around which sucks and i dont play it. ive owned a 1470 ibanez prestige RG but a local shop broke the flloyd rose and i bought an sg, which i ended up selling when the neck snapped.

for an amp i have a randall 100 watt combo amp, and a peavy 6505+ half stack.

Great idea for a thread tightagressive.

Apart from when you initially lost nearly 600 bucks, what has been the lowest point in your poker career? Also, what has been the highest point?

Where do you see yourself in 5-10 years time?
Either Poker or Non-Poker realted.

At the end of Rounders Mike said he turned his 10K into over 60K, but he played teddy, for 10k once doubled up, so now its 20K, then they played another game, doubled up, so now he's at 40K, where did the other 20K come from?

lowest point had to be when i first started playing online and was getting owned. it was killing me not only financially, but mentally.
the only other really low point has been last week, where as ive been on a $1000 downswing. thats probably my biggest downswing and it sucks, alot.

highest point was when i made what i think was the best call i had ever made. I had a hand that could only beat a bluff on the river and i called his push because i thought from his betting line there was no possible way he could have anything that had me beat. i was right, and took down a pretty big pot.

i actually dont know at all. people ask me what im going to do for the rest of my life and i dont know.

if holdem is the way it still is today, that is what i will be doing. but who knows, it might kinda die down in the next 10 years.

IMO: poker in general will never go back to the way it used to be before the 03 main event. it will shrink a bit from what it is now, (maybe) but i think there will always be games. however the hard part for the people who want to live off of poker is that we will always have to be adapting and getting better. there arent always going to be this many bad players.

i know i want to make a living playing poker, but doing so will be quite the challange for me.
