Hey AtomJapo, I didn't know the situation in Venezuela was that bad and I don't really advise anyone to play poker professionally, but I think it would actually be better if you did after learning how to play.

I'm not sure how much you know already but please watch the poker training videos on the site and I'm sure you will be able to make $150-$200 per month easily after rakeback.

What stakes are you starting at and how much you played so far?

HELLO harvie.. thanks for take a minut of ur TIME for READ ME.. iam not proffesional player,, but some games i can make profittables to me.. actually im making some games in 1.50$ ko 90 players.. https://www.pokervip.com/forum/my-poker-journey/looking-for-better-future-poker?nav=578c3d0ed390431b0c8b4572

relly ill take your advice and ill see the videos and ill study to fix my game...

thanks a lot..

Ha I love this way of looking at it

I just googled the average salary in the UK and it comes to - £26,500 = £2,208 per month

Each egg apparently costs: 20p

Total eggs we can buy per month = 11,040

in any moment in hte future my country maybe will can be and have good salaries and quality life.. and many eggs jajajjaja

Unexpected and interesting topic. Normally, I wouldn't advise anyone to just 'go for it' and become a poker pro with very little experience, but given the peculiar state that the Venezuelan economy is in it might actually be a sensible course of action. I don't know if I'd quit by day job outright, but playing poker on the side is certainly worth it and if you're serious about learning it making 100-200$ a month can become possible fairly quickly.

Have you ever thought about doing Data entry jobs sites like Freelancer and Upwork, you can get some jobs at $5-15 per hour for like design, excel entry etc. I think that may be a better way to generate income over poker

yes buddy.. well, is the most viable, honest and profitable than i can to do.. i ll try to do good work with management bank roll and the games for staked..
just i hope that the variance dont hit me hard hehe...

Looks good especially given the circumstances you described in this topic. I hope this month's results will be even better!

Hi guys.. It's been a while, I'm back to tell you a little bit and update the blog ...

First I have to tell everyone that yes, officially i renounced to my work as a chemistry professor at the high school. These last weeks I've been focused on team Faultier, studying a lot about poker. They have helped me a lot and I keep working, learning and studying, growing daily as a player and as a person in many respects

On the other hand to have them aware of the situation of my country. It hasn't improved anything at all. Taking the step to devote myself to poker was a wise decision. The salary has increased in the local currency, but by making the change to dollars, we are really in a deeper devaluation ...
The minimum wage in USD $ is maintained more or less in the same proportion. Between 30 and 40 $ monthly. However the cost of the things is a little higher.

For my part, I am now more stable, keeping me focused on the future and the present of what I do, I am very motivated as I am also studying English, which I aspire to communicate and make more feedback in the community ... Soon I will publish some anecdotes of a little trip I did about poker and I hope lese like the comparisons I'll do about poker and economics. greetings to all who have taken the time to read and follow the blog. A big hug

the last month i could no get my goals bcs i had couple days without internet.. this time the criminals stolen the Internet fiber cabling and hurt with the communication services our comunity...

the last month i lived with a teammate in teamfaultier wilfred.. we are living in the "grindhouse" hehe
studying- playing... working hard to improve.. its a good experience share daily with him.. the enviroment in the house its amazing...
our friends support us, our parents and girlfriends too... so always we have and found good motives to keep working hard...

yesterday we installed the new stuff office for him.. and this looks amazing..

for may these were my numbers


​
my goals to this month "june"
1. Primarily rearrange Effective and selectively my schedule time for study-grind.. reach at least 10 hours weekly to study
2. install the electrical engine to cover the electrical cuts..
3. Make a sheet to planify the schedule games daily
4. Maintain or increase my ev bb/100 > 16
5. reach at least 25K hands in mtt.
6. update my blog at least 2 times per week
7. start meditation daily with intimind.es app
8. start the gymhome sports at least 2 times per week
9. take advatage of my free time to renovate energies in other things that not involve poker... (family, sport, friends.. social live)
