$50nl & $100nl full buy-ins are my main games, probably 70/30, but I'm working my way in.
Today I withdrew a couple hundred £s. I have the luxury of having my 'poker money' in dollars, so when I'm playing it's not like real money, it's just some graphics representing funny money, so why would I worry about sticking $80 in on the turn with an Ace High?
What the hell is $80 anyway, £0.03? Oh crap it's 45 quid, but it's not really.. is it?
To withdraw that money into real money it's a surreal feeling, "wow it's real, this shit really works."
I'm earning atleast double what I would at a regular job at my age/work experience/etc and putting in about half the hours, into something that's fun.
I have no delusions though.
Poker isn't a long term thing, it's a way to make some easy money for an easy life in the short term. Online poker won't be anything like it is now in 5 years time. With 80%(+) of the players losing money, they either learn to win or quit playing. Having said that, people still Blackjack and Craps..
I have a goal in mind for how much I want to make, then it'll be on to something new.
Apart from paying some rent and other shit I've had to shell out for, I haven't bought myself anything yet. I've put myself on a £20/wk wage.
Been looking at a guitar I'd quite like to get, nothing too fancy, we'll have to see.
In the meantime, I'm fucking rich. Down the cathouse for me.
