not true at all...  i know people that play live in a casino at only 1/2 or 2/4 and they make enough money... playing online would mean you can play for even smaller stakes

try some larger sit n go or tourns to see how you fair or earnsome tokens
 


Anybody can get lucky and win a multiple table tourney. Sit n go's also rely on luck. If havent really tried heads up so that may be an option and clearly gives you have better odds of winning.

Cash games are you best bet for steady returns.

I'm curious because I'm considering making a serious step in your direction, and I am looking for some guidance and/or coaching. I understand it's not easy nor will anything be handed to me, but I feel confident in my ability at this point - just looking for the next step.
 
PM me if you're interested or curious as well and I'll provide some details. Thanks in advance!

Still in the early stages - workin on building the roll. Won a 45 man sng, couple 18s and a handful of 9ers. Also, I came in second in a 180 man freezeout. Just recently felt comfortably rolled to move up into the 20$ sng's, if that answers your question any better. I'm also now using HEM so that I can identify any leaks that I may have and will be enlisting the help of a coach within the next month as well as throwin my head into Small Stakes Hold 'Em and The Little Green Book. It def takes time to get the shit together, but I'm happy with where I'm headed so far. Haven't quit the day job yet! Haha. My lack of consistent concentration is the biggest problem I will face, but it's been a fun grind.

you get my vote for worst poster on covers.....damn dude, you are seriously a horrible poster....

if you do have those 2 vehicles, I'm sure they are early 90s models and your parents probably bought them for you....

I hope you go away....forever...

Arkons is classic. How in the world has noone taken him up on his coaching offer yet I have no idea. We are missing the opportunity of a lifetime.

Millions online
A million to come in sports betting.

Just saying it out loud you see how awesome he is
