hi mate, its me who you met on stars the other night.
welcome to the site.
there are quite a few good players on here that will gladly help analyse certain hands, just post em and you will get good honest answers of how u played the hand.
i thought you played quite well the other day, maybe ur confidence has took a hit and you are worrying about nothing. you over played a couple of hands,,,, but we are all guilty of that
advice on playing full time.......its very tough to earn enough money playing poker full time and pay the bills,less than 5% of poker players actually make a regular profit.... you need at least a 5 figure bankroll before you can comfortably do what you are planning. for the time being i would stick to the $4.40/180's if you are making a profit at them. when you have enough built up move up to the $11 180's or 90's.....if things go bad move back down. bankroll management is very important, esp if u plan to pay bills out of your bankroll too. try and find a part time job to cover your living expenses until you feel you've built up enough of a bankroll and improved your game to a standard ready to play for a living. but i warn you in advance, its a rollercoaster ride, so many up's and downs
as far as mtt's go, its far more difficult to make a living from these than it was 3-5 years ago, esp on pokerstars....great site but terrible payout structures...for arguements sake i have played 60 mtt's on stars in the last 4 days i have made the money 15 times which is quite high and i'm losing..basically coz i'm getting raped as soon as i hit the cash lol.......on stars the money is too top heavy for the big field small buy ins and pittence for most other cashes, i rely on trying to break even(ish) until my next win, which i class as my profit.
another good bit of advice if you were planning on playing full time, is find a site that gives you rake back...rakeback can make the diffence of a profit or a loss over a given time period.
i will pm you some more advice on rakeback.
a couple hours mentoring on here could well make the diffence for you if you feel you need it, wildrick looks after the low buy in mentoring, i sent him a message the other day but the poof hasnt replied YES YOU RICK.
hope this helps
