My Journey As A Professional Poker Player (22 Viewers)

Everyone's situation is different I'm sure, but I tell my wife the results of about home sessions if she asks. She generally does ask.

Also about results of any infrequent trips to casinos.

my wife knows them all as well, but she can also tell how im doing, like if Im home at midnight vs 8am =) i got nothing to hide, also no one wins every time I just try to keep my wins bigger than my losses.
 
So a question are you playing everyday or are you taking time off? Put yourself on a schedule? The idea of playing cards is fascinating and also not so much, I guess I like my job and what I do, I also like to play cards, but I dont enjoy being in casinos all the time, so doing it full time I would want to travel and play all over. I have been fortunate that my job allowed me to play all over the world, then covid hit and stuck at home now =/

I quit my job cause I was burnt out from overwork

Now I typically put in 25-40 hrs/week and have a work-life balance I was looking for

Jenns Galaxy S10 got borked during a recent update, so we snagged a BOGO on the new S21 Ultra 5G phones and have to pick those up today

Plus I've been playing D&D again and the session they had an open spot for is Saturday instead of Sunday

So I decided to take fri/sat off this week

Generally I always work Mon, Fri and Sat and then one other day maybe during the week, depending on how I feel, what events or promos are running, etc

But lately I've been working less and making more time for other activities and hobbies I enjoy

My wife and I have an unspoken understanding. I don't tell her the real amount I lose in casinos. And she doesn't tell me the real price she pays for shoes and haircuts. Fudging those numbers seems to work well for everyone.

I'm on T-mobile. I got a straight up free upgrade from S9 to base S21. I'm liking it so far. I had to buy some bluetooth buds though because no more 3.5 jack.
 
I have a very real understanding with me. I don't tell me how much I lost playing poker. I enjoy the game far more that way.

That said, when I first met Mrs Zombie I was making ends meet trading in the stock market. There is no way I could try to conceal the numbers, good day or bad day. Marriage (or at the time, just cohabitation) is a partnership. If you feel the need to hide things from your partner, you have real issues that may need to be addressed.
 
Go-time!

I have :kh::kc::jc::th: and limp repot (maniac on my left)

Maniac all-in for around $400. Solid player the same. Strong pro called and has another 450 behind

Flop :ks::qh::9h:

Pro check-calls my shove. We go twice on side pot, maniac only runs it once on main pot

River is :ts: and the solid player who was all in for 400 has AAJ9 for the rivered gutshot to win the 1600 main pot

I hold up on the punier side pot
 
Get it in for $650 pre with :ac::ad::9d::6s: against two guys. One has AAJ3, the other has KQT8 one suit

Worst hand makes a straight on first board, boats on 2nd board when I make nut flush. Chop the side pot and get about 250 back, oof
