Broke and Homeless by the end of the year
Hey. I’m a bankrupt degenerate looking to find some sort of solution before the end of the year. My current living arrangements are paid for until December 31st, at which time I will officially be homeless.
I have no job. The last job I had was at McDonalds which I was fired from stealing (nuggets are soooo good though). I’m 33, no job prospects to speak of, so I have turned to poker.
I have never had a winning month. I have been playing the game my whole life but am absolutely terrible. Here is where I turn around my life and my game.
I will be posting updates every week. I have 2000 dollars to start, and if I am able to accumulate 10k by the end of the year, I should save myself from homelessness.
I will be playing with 40 buy ins (starting at 50plo) and will occasionally take shots in good lineups.
Wish me luck! IF I fail you will most likely never hear from me again.
I won’t fail though. I literally have no choice.
Enjoy!

I know you said you planned to play PLO, but if you have any interest in playing holdem i can send you over the Carrot Corner full scholarship + the exploitative class to help your game out a little bit. I really want to see you succeed, buddy.
I appreciate it but I’m going to stick with PLO.
Hit part of a BBJ ln for a good chunk but not going to count that towards the 10k as I don’t need any handouts from nobody (not even the poker sites). Using that money to buy food for the next month.
BBJ counts for sure on gg, its essentially just part of your rakeback on the longrun
also mate given how smart you are supposed to be given description of you as a child, should be pretty obvious that if you don’t change anything about the way you go on about life you won’t suddenly have different results

I’m gonna make it rich on the poker streets, you’ll see I’m on ultimate tilt control.
Life is about choices.
No family to stay with?
Not atm, potential is there but trying to get my **** together.
Quick update,
Honestly I’ve been playing great poker since I started. Took a few days off and ran absolutely terrible yesterday but bringing it back (hopefully anyways).
Playing well and not getting the results has to be one of the most frustrating things in poker.
Will post another update Saturday morning which will mark 1 week since the challenge began. I have some work to do.
IF your playing on wsop.ca I don't know how you can fail tbh. play 10 hours a day like your life depends on it (seems like it might) play as many tables and you can. cant lose with the rb they give you if you put in effort. whats your screen name
Week 1 update:
I played ****ing great this week. I was breakeven for most of the week, but I’m Thursday I took off like a ****ing rocket ship. Mental game on point and hoping to go into week 2 with the same mental strength as week one.
Profit Pre Rb: +$947
Rakeback: +$1085
Total: +$2032
Will post a graph when I get on my PC. Am I sunrunning ??? Maybe. Am I better than these Fkn idiots????? Most definitely.

Carrot Corner tries to sound smart like 99% of youtubers who do poker videos teaching people how to make a living at poker when they obviously can't. I definitely would saying its money down the drain putting any money into any youtuber. They are on youtube cause they can't grind for a living. You are best off to get monker solver and go through hands you are playing to see what ranges are best to use on different board textures. PLO is way bigger money then holdem. My first 10 years grinding nlh for a living I made a lot of money, but I made almost 2x as much playing PLO tables with holdem. I still would say fires up maybe 4 plo tables with 4 holdem tables to get enough volume in every year. Your going to make a lot of money if you do this and also use monker to fix your leaks. If you do it any other way you are going to lose the 2k and be homeless. And with 2k start at micros don't 1 table at higher limits your money will be gone within a few weeks. Grind up the 2k beating the weaker micro players to 5k then move up to low limits. After you beat those limits you should do fine with 10k at midstakes and don't move above midstakes or you are playing world class players in general.

Your going to lose your entire bankroll by end of this month if you don't start at micros. But poker players like to learn the hard way... Congrads on the start though. I do hope I am wrong, but I haven't been.

At the risk of derailing the thread, this isn't exactly accurate. There's lots of reasons why people might want to "cash out" and not grind for a living. Having dependents (wife/kids) can seriously knock people's risk tolerances. I certainly wouldn't want my kids on the street because I hit a downswing, and what would the government think if they knew I'd "gambled the house away"?
stable income isn't anything to sniff at. you'd happily take your EV every month instead of the variance results.
also carrot corner isn't complete dingus. he offers some good concepts in videos, they just aren't solver-backed. grinders manual is outdated for sure, and i can't see how I'd get 2k value from the level 3 course (if its called that), but it's not like his stuff can't leave weak players better-informed. just have to avoid the buzzword.
reckon pete could rakeback grind 50nl no problem if he wanted - carrot corner clearly higher ev
Here is the week one results via graph. Gonna keep going strong, any doubters will see this is easily achievable with some mental fortitude.

"I haven't been".... get your ****ing head out of your ass you pompous prick. I'm going to prove it to you and send you 3.50 once I hit 10k so you can fk a cheap hooker

Your advice is falling on deaf ears at this point. I’ve never looked at a solver in my life, nor will I ever. I will do this my way and succeed.

I mean this is why in a nutshell you're in the position you are - you've apparently failed in the past yet won't make any changes. Definition of insanity?

I mean, he's not Bryn Kenney or Phil Ivey, but he's got alot of solid stuff in there that certainly helped me out a ton. Now would I pay like 2k or whatever it is for his full scholarship package? Absolutely not. However, He's coached alot of successful players, and if anything, I think his inability to produce a winning graph probably comes down to a mental game issue or him knowing what he should do, but just not pulling the trigger on it himself, for whatever reason.
anddddd hes homeless as expected
