Following on from Pros going bust thread....
I'm interested in finding out more about the numbers for "playing pro". Although everyone's circumstances are different, if we say that the national average take-home pay is around £1,500 per month (having removed the London effect/impact from the national average wage figure of c£28K). and this is a figure that a pro…

Do pros ever go bust? FAO LOLRAISE, lolu, gliterbabe, ljamesl, brownndog, etc
Only mentioning LOLRAISE because he's one of the few who priveledges us with an answer. Closest you boys have come to going bust? I, obviously, know nothing about youse. But has it ever come close to considering a different career? Even with your edge has it run so bad you've considered something else?

What's the right move here?
Hi, Playing last night's mini bounty hunter I was confronted with the following situation. It was early on in Level 2 and I hadn't had opportunity to get much of a read on any of the other players on the table. I was happy enough to be dealt the kings obviously but what's the right move with the 4 bet all in following my…

NL4 made hand on board
This is a hand I played earlier on NL4 that got me thinking abit. On the river the board makes a made straight now however I have the overstraight with the J in my hand.

NL4 rare BvB moment what would you do?
Ok reasons to why i post this, simple. I found a tight table on NL4 (there was a fish here previous, not sure where he went was multitabling) and its folded to me in the small blind. Now as a tourny player my natural instinct said raise, which im not sure is +EV in cash at these levels. So what would you do in this…

Mid Ace, shortstacked, BH
Hi all, I would like to know how you would play this hand. I had 17bb and was in bb too. Table was fairly tight but had a near chip leader of the tourney on my immediate left with around 110 bb. There was a lot of limping and calling going on and pretty passive play. I hadnt played much in a while trying to preserve my…

Snap fold on flop?
This hand confused me. I've recently moved back up to this level & have no notes on X. I don't have any real reads on him but I would say that's mainly down to the fact that I was playing 3 tables. Not seen any of his hands go to showdown but one hand that did stick out was about 4 or 5 prior to this where he limped in MP…

Should this be a 4 bet shove on the flop?
I've been sat at the table for about an hour or so & even with players coming & going it's been pretty lively. X has been at the table since I joined. When I first sat down he had a stack of about £13 odd & has already reloaded once since then. He'd lost a few biggish pots in the past 10-15 minutes so I think he's quite…
