Completely Appreciate the Honesty! One of the reasons you are one of the few vloggers I continue to view. WAY TOO MANY in the vlogging space cherry-pick their sessions or are more about generating click bait by punting $$$. "Life-Roll" is real and for those of us that no longer dwell in the basements of their parents homes, or have financial responsibilities, bank roll and life-roll often determine our approach to business/hobbies. As for game selection... Personally, I am not as concerned with the blind sizing as I am with the amount of $$$ on table. I played a $2/$5 game that had a $1200.00 max buy-in and there was about $10K on the table... Easy Game with an amount available that will pay the mortgage. Keep grinding my friend!

Garden player here. Its fun to see 5/5 stream from the garden. 5/5/10 plays more like 10/20 since straddle is often mandatory and the cap is $800 i think. So, if you run card dead for 1 hour, well you will bleed to death. So if you dont want anything crazy, the 5/5 is often the best choice at the garden.

I think it was a very good decision for you to play more within the size of your bankroll. Yes, the wins will be less for the most part but your losses and variance will be a lot better too! Don’t forget that these lower limit games are more about value and having the best hand at the river, rather than bluffs and/or semi bluffing. You can’t really afford to Cbet into 2 other players with AK high with no immediate 8 or 9 card out drawing hand cause they are gonna call you down with 2nd and 3rd pair hands! Hope it works for you and good luck!

I like the content and your editing but honestly poker isn't as great as what everyone hypes it up to be. Even 5-5-10 at hg isn't a real game where max buy is what 800? To make money you probably need to be playing the deeper 5-10 or 10-20 at commerce. Just jump into a career with growth, benefits and progression than grinding LA live games for a living. Might be cool when you're 25 but when you have a wife, kids and real obligations, it's not fun to grind poker like it is to treat it as a fun hobby. All the best to you regardless what you choose but I feel your pain cause I wanted to do the online poker grinder life before.

How about just get a real job that pays well then play poker on the side…

Hm to be fair I’ve never had a job I made more money in than playing poker, so it might actually result in making things more difficult

@BrantzenPoker that comment makes no sense if losing $1200 in one month forces you to go to lower stakes. Someone who is trying to play poker for a living needs at least 100 buy ins (which is $5,000 if you are buying in for $500), although 200 buy ins is much better, and at least 6 months of expenses (at $7500/month, that would be $45,000). So AT MINIMUM you should have $50k set aside. If you don't have at least $50k in the bank all the time, month in, month out, you are doing your family a HUGE disservice and you'd be better off getting a full time job. And just as a side note, you'd need a win rate of roughly $47 an hour, playing 40 hours a week just to cover your $7500/month expenses.

@@EricLeetFishingyou’re talking about bankroll management, and he’s talking about money. If he’s never had a job that makes $30/hr, making $35/hr at poker would be much better regardless of the stakes he’s playing. So even if he’s not making that $47/hr he’s still doing better than jobs he’s previously had.

You are entertaining, but you’re never gonna make $7500 a month playing in the games you’re playing in now. You need to go back to work and build up a real bank roll if you ever hope to make a living at playing poker. 😮

To be fair, the main goal is for sponsorships and KZbin ad revenue to comprise the bulk of my income. I’d love to not have to rely on playing poker. For now, my wife and I will be balancing our roles so it takes a lot of stress off me individually
