Thanks for the comment. Around August I had started to beat 25NL and decided to start moving up. My aim for the year was to beat 50NL for a decent sample size. I ended up showing a profit for 50NL by the end of that year but my sample size was quite small.
My focus for was to beat NL. The reason I showed such a long breakeven streak was because of these shots at the higher stakes. Have you managed to stay quit from poker? Obviously a total waste of my time in terms of cash earned. I quit about 50 times but, well, I played 2, hands this morning so quitting is about break-even too…. It is really good to see someone put so much of their poker life online honestly. Hope you stay quit, hope I quit and stay quit one day too, just got to take one more shot first though….
Hey Adam, thanks for the nice, long comment. To answer your question, yes I have managed to stay quit. In Israel it is difficult to find a nice game with nice people. Poker here attracts the worst of society unfortunately. I understand you completely. I do believe the game is beatable but based on my experience it requires far more energy, disciple, time and professionalism than most realize.
I feel that Poker has given me a huge amount outside of the actual game. Small changes add up quickly in the long run — This is a lesson you can apply to many different areas in your life.
Poker helped me realize that many people, even people that anyone would consider as highly intelligent, can be extremely irrational. I play at the micros and sometimes higher if it is a good game. Some people can make a living playing very low stakes depending on where they live and their life situation. No boss no fuss no rain no train every morning. But you have to put volume and hate life sometimes no matter how passionate you are about the game.
Playing tired or absent minded or worried about personal matters will make your game suck and your winrate ravaged. Hey Nathan, Nice article! Can you show some recent recent graphs of yours? And what stakes you play nowadays? I'm not running very well lately. I need something good to see to keep going :.
Thanks Roland glad you enjoyed! I post my graphs from time to time on social media. I play all micro stakes games, sometimes higher. Great article as always Nathan. I have played full-time under various circumstances over the last 2 years. But I'm under the category of, "can always find a corporate job" - I'm sure you can see since we are connected in LinkedIn. One of the things that I would add is that yes, downswings suck, but when you are on an upswing, there is no better job in the world.
I personally have worked with Jared Tendler since He took my mental game to another level. Which helped me both professionally and personally. If some of these symptoms describe you, you may want to start thinking about quitting poker and put your focus elsewhere. You might want to invest your poker winnings , find a regular job, or want to look into starting a business. There are many opportunities available for what you can do.

Having said that, variance is also the enemy of poker players. It can be incredibly stressful especially if you have monthly bills to meet. Understanding how variance works and managing it is critical IMO. Bottom line, I think that variance is a big part of the reason why a lot of players pack it in.
However, in my experience these have been toward the top of the list. It is easy to get a bit consumed by the game and not know when to pull the plug. I think it is really important for players to know when to call it quits. Sure it may have been great for a couple of years out of college, but do you really want to be grinding it out live or online when you are 55?
