    Gonna bite my tongue in regards to the life stuff...

    Poker wise, you seem far too naive (possibly due to age). Jump straight in to stakes you've never played? Speed poker? From what I remember you saying last time and this thread, I can't help but think you'd fritter away the 5k, unless you put in some serious studying hours.

    Do the decent thing. Give your mum a break and don't accept the 5k. If you really are as passionate about poker as you say you are, you'll make it anyway.

    dont take this the wrong way but my advice to you would be to seriously go and see a doctor, if you have no urgency to do anything in life apart from play cards then i think you could be depresssed and it will only get worse if you dont seek help, best of luck!!!


    +1 to this talking from expereince

    I'm still happy whenever i'm not playing poker you know lol, and i do go out almost every day just not during the day because most people i know are busy working/at college etc lol suppose quite a lot of people get ****** off because they have to work 60 hours a week on mimum wage doing a **** job while i get everything done for me, but i just laugh it off i can live my life the way i want to, most important thing about your own life is making sure you're happy, and that's what i'm doing.

    You are lucky you have such a comfortable life, understandably people who have to work hard to get where they are and don't just get everything handed to them on a plate and 5k to just stick on a poker site can not relate to you in any way. It is frustrating reading some of the stuff you write but one day you wont have someone to cook all your meals, give you money when things are not going well, eventually you will have to struggle in some way and you will not have prepared yourself in anyway to deal with it and thats when your character will be tested.  You definitely don't sound depressed if anything your probably incredibly happy/content with such an easy carefree way of life, 5k is alot of money that could give you all sorts of oppurtunities in life if sticking it on poker makes you happy so be it. Good luck crushing i could only dream of just having 5k handed to me to go and grind higher stakes, live the dream.

    Its widely accepted that poker is a game in decline. There is a high likelihood the money may dry up and it will be impossible for you to make a good living from the game for the rest of your life. I wouldn’t ignore that.

     

    Taking steps now as a contingency for that (as well for if you aren’t good enough) may well be the best decision you ever make.

     

    GL, i genuinely hope it all goes well because if not you will be goosed with no prospects and you may look back at this stage and regret your mentality.

    im not p***** off in the slightest about you having everything handed to you and not having to work for it, i just find it staggering that a lad of 20 years of age fails to understand that parents dont live for ever and that you will not live you're whole life being wet nursed. good luck finding a bird that will do all this for you!!!

    I know my mum won't live forever lol but she will always be there for me there is no way in the world my mum would ever chuck me out or tell me to start being independent etc, thats why i said in the future i will be depressed unless i can make a living from poker of course. But to be honest my mum will probably outlive me, i'm shockingly unhealthy but i can't be bothered to do anything about that either lol.

    And i don't want a girlfriend, don't want to get married and i definitely don't want kids. I'm not an angry person or anything, hardly ever get angry but kids just make me snap lol. And would anyone really want me having a kid the way i am? Thought not haha.

    Anyway back to poker, should i get that poker tracker software the now or wait until i get the money? It looks good.

    No advice at all? For example say once i have the money i will be rolled for a much higher stakes than i've ever played before, should i just dive straight in or take it slowly gradually getting the hang of it moving up the levels etc? After all i'll still only be 21 when i start this, i don't really need to make a living wage or anything until maybe a few years afterwards. Don't know why everyone assumes i'm depressed or something lol, i'm not depressed just yet, my life is amazing there isn't a day that goes by when i'm not happy lol. I'll only become depressed if i do have to get a job or become independent in the future etc. Adult life just isn't for me i've known that since i was like 13. But right now the way it is at the minute my life is brilliant, and i'm happy as anything.

    Really and you actually feel it's a good thing to start a thread about it

    cmon stop messing :)

    btw when you deposit please let us know when your playing :)

    Also just stop n think, cause there are plenty of people out there who have really bad gambling problems, it's not really a laughing matter.

    I am not going to comment about your life. People are entitled to do what the hell they like. With regards to poker, you seem to be focusing on the money (specifically the 5k) and in reality this is not a lot of money in some ways, but a lot of money in others. If you really are good at poker, and are prepared to put the hours in then the 5k should be irrelevant . If you've already spun up to around 1k then why not push on from that and fund your own roll???

    Dependent on where you are playing, live poker can give you a false sense of ability. I can crush at 50p/£1 at my local casino. Then play the same stakes online and not have a clue where I am.

    I guess overall what I am trying to say (I think a few have said it before) is if you are really serious that poker is what you want to do then why cant you fund yourself and work your way up, rather than accepting a hand out. The experience you will gain from WORKING up to 5k rather than getting it handed to you will be worth a lot more than money ever could be.

    Do you actually intend to play on Sky or just advice from Sky players?

    Do the sites you play on have forums of their own?

    Oh and the futures not bright or even orange for you.
