Yeah i've been playing poker for around 5 years. That 10 per roi is kinda skewed as my buyins have varied from 215 to 1 dollars so its not really a true figure of how good i am. I think if fruits die out, i will just deposit 10k and grind mid level mtts...i know the variance can be scary with loosing weeks and loosing months....but ive got a good coach and ive got a good feel for the game. I was thinking of moving to London to play the live cash games more often as you can play a TAG game and just value bet on every street and get paid in the softer games, not saying there are not good players in the Vic there are. And i have done my bollocks on occasion. I think i can make a go of it. But fruits are still my bread and butter at the minute....still put in a 40-50 hours on the road. And Scott , you know 500-1000 a week is easily achievable if you can be bothered to travel and put the hours in. Im not saying i dont have shit weeks when i make 200-300 i will admit i do, but its rareish. Some days if areas are burnt and petrol costs i end up down. But in gambling as in life you have to brush yourself off and get on with it

Are you serious?! I'm not that much of a poker player either...
As I already said in another post, I see more and more leaflets for poker communities in our region and am wondering if people turn their backs on online poker and start playing it in real life. I find it surprising how the whole thing suddenly became so trendy a few years ago and it doesn't seem to come to an end anytime soon!
