Butchering stacks, jobs and profits

Well...I turned down the job. After weighing up the pro's and con's I decided that it would be best for me to give this a shot for a year, so i've decided to re-evaluate things in August, see what direction my pokers heading in and go from there. I would expect to be rolled around $4-6k by this point, grinding $200-600nl and hopefully crushing.

I'm not saying this is where I will be, but its where I want to be. I'm not content with grinding the micros for five years, if it hasnt happened within a year then I dont think it ever will. So until then i'm going to watch as many videos, talk as much poker to friends and develop my game as much as possible. If I were to give myself a % of complete poker player at the moment it would be around 20 in a years time I want to be hitting the 50 mark.

I've been dropping money live lately, like £1k in 2 weeks, i've been butchering stacks at the cash table and have suffered from ill discipline in general, its my own fault. I need to start picking up some reads, I think this is where i'm weakest live. Although I will say is that i find the majority of live players justify making dubious calls based on tells, when really they just love to call and more often than not people just dont seem to have it. I get called at every point now, my image is terrible, so i'm going to have a month off and hit it again at Christmas.

Online has been pretty meh since my last post, lost a load on Sunday and have made a mini recovery today but am still slightly stuck for the weekend. I just tilted off 4 bi's to some total donkey regs on Grandslam. Honestly I would rate myself in the top 5 100nl regs on ipkr, i've seen very little from others that makes me worried about sitting at their table. New computer should be here fucking soon, i'm getting fed up waiting now, will ask Strummer for some more money tommorow as I believe I can 10-12 table extremely profitably when new comp arrives.

Decisions, decisions...

Its been a while since my last update. I've been running super hot online, winning $3k in the last 2 weeks, I get my first (modest) pay check from badbeat this month, money that will promptly be moved to pay for my outstanding credit card debts.

It will be nice to get rid of my credit card (and overdraft) ASAP so I can start living off of my own back. The end of November is my expected date for this, but of course we shall see.

My new computer should be here within the next few days, its a MESH with 26" HD monitor which should allow me a super sick setup for me to grind my fat ass off.

The inevitable happened today. I recieved a call from G Casino in Luton about a job I had applied for some time ago. I've been offered an interview on Monday with the cardroom manager. This leaves me with a massive dilema. If i take the job it could leave me with little to no time to play and improve my game and limits online. I've really started to do well as of late and know that I can make a living from the game. On the other hand its a job...its stability and i'm sure I wouldnt hate working there. However it is 30 miles away...£10 in petrol a day to earn £50 after tax...when i'm sure I could earn more online. Working there would help me learn other games and pick up some live tells but would also rule me out of playing much live poker as it would mean I cant access G casino's accross England....all in all I really don't know what to do. Fuck
