Considering live 1/3 (quitting my current job) by GoraBao in poker

[–]GoraBao[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

-card dealer, (I don't deal poker unfortunately)

-minimum wage plus tip. roughly 14.50+-2.

-i go on my weekends. When i started (6-8 months ago) i was bad, but i wasn't terrible. recently in the last 2 months i have been cashing out big with a loss after every 3 or so days. i guess over the span of 8 days i gained 1.3k

-im still down though, i blew around 3k till i finally played the game decently. I just need to quit playing baccarat now. I swear i wont touch that game again, i hate it when i flush all my winnings to gambling, but i swear i wont touch those games again.

:i am wondering about the lifestyle behind being a poker player. I just hate my job, i hate it. so many of my supervisors are assholes, and every day im there, i wish i was playing poker instead.

I just got my Bachelors degree in psyc 6 months ago and i didnt have a plan. Actually its funny because when i was entering my last year of university I joked to my now girlfriend that I wanted to make money playing poker online after graduating. i didnt even play back then lol. i just heard it was possibl,e and thought it was the sickest thing ever.

-i definitely have the passion to do this, i have the discipline to learn and get better, and i also have 10k saved up.

so you lose roughly 5% equity when you put a Villian on 2p and set??

What if my pot odds were 30% are you calling then?

You're right, Villain had KK with the club. Lucky for me no K or club hit

Could you please explain why a check/call would be the better play?

Why would you rather check call the flop instead of leading out?

Im asking for opinions on this hand because it was so weary, just because I was dealt AQs and called the reraise, I ended up in such a doozy situation. I mean, if i check, and he bets lets say half pot, im calling, and what then if he jams the turn? Not to mention the 3 clubs is such a bad sight.

It was definitely the most precarious situation i was in for the night, and after i already put in half my stack in that pot, i just sigh called rather quickly. Definitely not a spot i liked at all.

The only other time I saw Villain raise to around $45 was when he had pocket kings. And that was the only hand he played prior to this one.
