Go big or go home!

hello, jvv,

I've read what you wrote here and that sounds like a good plan, I I've been playing for about 12 years [on and off] I started playing with my dad, at NL2 9 handed, ive now moved over too 6max and ive started to take a liking to I had a decent job so I could skip the micros, and deposited $750, I had decent results there, my dad always believed I have the skills to become pro [or even earn a little extra income would be nice] me and my dad used to play a lot together, the problem for me was he was a very bad gambler, [he did ok in tournaments but in cash games OMFG is correct here] when he ran out of his balance, he would often ask if he could play a tournament I would respond "Sure, you can play a $10 buy in, and please if you play cash games play $2" obviously this is like putting sweets in front of a child and saying there not aloud to eat them, I would often come home to him destroying my graph and losing 3-4 stacks, I would get so angry, we would argue, he would say "why'd you let me play it, you know what I'm like" I couldn't ever say no to him, he never asked me for much and he was always there for me, when I needed him, I would already be so angry before I hit the tables, I would win the money back he lost and spew some away again, this went on for about 6 months, I broke even with the help of rakeback and eventually quit because it was affecting my mood, job and life.

Sadly he passed away 2 months ago, this has crippled me, we were so close.

Set up a skype and we can chat over there, as soon as i get myself a headset, that looks like good results I'm interested in learning.

I'm setting up a new Thread on HU poker because I've become a bit of an action junkie It will be called Heads Up Here I Come
