Confessions of a live poker pro

Well written post! Pretty interesting, will definitly follow this. What did you study?

Good luck at the tables!

Euan.

Interesting. I'm also a recently graduated student, and have a masters offer that I'm deferring to play poker for the year (and hopefully save some $$$ in the process). Also playing 100/200 online, but not much live. There's a local 100 game nearby but I don't really see it as profitable. And that's what I wanted to ask, really: why are you playing a lot of live poker? Do you enjoy it more or think that it will be more profitable? Even though live tends to be super easy don't you just find it more profitable to grind online?

Decided this is going to be a video blog. Think it will be much more fun that way. Will update about my first few days as a full time player later today.

Subbed - Best of luck

Welcome back mate!

I honestly thought you were dead! Haha jokez, pretty sure you had been consumed with the hours at Aldi.

Run Good! ♠_cool:

Hey man! Yeah I know, sorry I disappeared like that, just got completely snowed under with work. How is your poker going? When you coming into genting to play some live poker? Know a couple of guys from Bathgate that come through 5 times a week.

not really been playing online in like 1.5month+ reeeally need to get back into it. played some live 10/20 on friday and my god, i'm a fish! day off tomorrow, so going to have a grind and laugh even more at how much i've forgot

Hopefully sometime soon. Just need moniez to get it going. Made ~£1.2k from live but had to use most of it for my car and stuff, the rest has been put away for holiday.

haha no way!! is it Julian, Daryl etc? I play with them on a Wednesday at a pub league thing. (just took it down over 13week btw ♠_cool: )

Catch you on skype sometime, if i remember to switch it on

Do you still live in Aberdeen, which casino do you play in? I've probably seen you.

Good stuff man. Where you off to on holiday? The two main guys are called jamie duffy and paddy doonan. Although Julien plays occasionally (is he mexican?)

Played a 3 and a half hour session of 1-2 live tonight and broke even. Played ok but was pretty card dead.

Think i'm heading to play at the allea in Glasgow tomorrow night. Apparently there is a pretty juicy game there on a tuesday.
