They have so much software out there nowadays that you will have way more info on a player online than live.
I kept a notebook with my daily/monthly/yearly results in it UPDATED EVERYDAY WIN OR LOSE and we disccussed it like it was a legitimate business. We had open talks a few times a month on how I was doing and she seen firsthand the results. I cant begin to tell you how important I think that was to her.
A lot of guys have asked me the same thing, how did I convince her, etc? There was no convincing need to be done at all on my end towards her. and zero hesitation on her end at all. She 100% trusted me cause she seen my results. I think that is so important. You have to take the time and keep records and show her how serious you are about it. I will say if I didnnt have a notebook with all the results in it she most likely wouldnt have went for it. Non-gamblers need reassurance as this is gambling to them so you have to make it look like as close to a legitimate business as it is, which it will be if you are going to do this for a living. My GF's only fear was leaving her family.
You only live once. It is a nice feeling knowing I dont care if the economy goes bad, etc. I dont have to rely on anyone but myself. Now this way of life also isnt cut out for everyone. Most people need that comfort of having a paycheck every week but look what ends up happening, you can lose your job tomorrow so really no one is 100% secure. My mom keeps telling me about this guy and that guy back in Michigan, who are all scared of losing their job, it is very very sad. I am working very hard right now at what I do but I LOVE it and you cant replace that feeling, even if I dont make as much money as my last job (and that may very well happen). If you do decide to go for it I think you wont regret trying it. There is a feeling of freedom that you can't put a price tag on.
TTinco is contstantly saying how the poker scene in Vegas is so beatable. He is about the 5th reputable guy I know in vegas who say the same thing. You do have to put your hours in and that could be downfall with this as I dont love the game like I love handicapping, betting, etc. He says most of this is late night stuff, which is not good for family life. I will probably go full bore at it after CBB is done.
