Some month ago, I take conscience that my age of retirement was arriving. I thought that my salary might be becoming very little and I would have to do something. So I started to learn about poker (I always was playing in a recreational way almost freerolls), and take a little bankroll in 888poker ($ 4,50) to play SnGs. First BI $0,10 and then $0,40. I like the experience! You can see my stats...

Wow...impressive I think you can be pro after retired But I wonder your hand history at this forum just pretty basic. You should be have more complicated problem to discuss, I think. If you just play basic theory I really surprise Good luck
your statistics are quite interesting ... especially pleased that your schedule constantly goes upwards ... it certainly shows that your game of poker is improving ... and in the end you are achieving better results ... But it’s too early to stop there .. .. It is necessary to strive upwards to play at higher limits and really get big money besides retirement

I personally think it is very good graph you have now. always go up and no bad periods when you lose money for long times. of course if you have same results for longer time then it is only decision to make to play higher buyin games and hope to have very good results too and then you can be real poker pro. good luck for you.

Thanks for your words, it's real value for me. I know that the sample is small (less than 500 tournaments), but the experience was nice. I don´t know what could happen if I have played all days for six hours or more, and what happens if I should have continued to play when I started to lose. In these months I only allowed to lost eight sits for a journey.

Since you have good achievement at buy in below $1 at MTT, do you intent to increase your buy in ? I suggest play at Titan, 1 euro MTT, but reentry tourney, they play better there. Rebuy isn't good, too much gambling player. Good luck.
I think you have a good enough level already to play in more interesting tournaments ... Try to play several tournaments with higher inputs and maybe you will have great success .... and even if you lose you will get an invaluable experience of playing higher limits .... which is interesting enough In any case

Keep at it buddy, put in the work, and dont be afraid to get in to new situations, thats where you truly learn, analyze your hands find what your doing right what wrong, play cash also, cash games teach you to be more aggressive, play also SNG coz those are mini tournaments, they are great to teach you early game late game, and of course play tournaments where ROI is the best, good luck bud, and happy retirement

Sincerely thanks for your comforting words! I have to tell the current epilogue of this short story. One month ago I achieve that the chief of cabinet in my Municipality (where I Work) gave me a big project to lead. So, I have certain guarantees that I will not retire in this government lapse...but I have to abandon my short career! I save my experience and I will try it later!

yes of course it is very good situation to you to get big project to lead and poker can wait for later time, then after this period with big project you maybe have big money too for your work and then can start with more big bankroll, because you show now you can easy make profit with small levels. good luck to you sir.

Thank Gerimantas and Serpang for your good wishes, I hope that you can get a good future too! In this time, the situation it seems like when in the table are too many opponents, the pot is huge and you have AKs. You have good cards but you have to play the better move to win. It might a great victory and all your friends expected it, but it has a big risk...
But I wonder your
