This is pure cringe. You are not a real grinder. 600k hands is less then half a year for me. That is nothing variance wise. Ya you should definitely quit poker. You wont beat the variance only playing 600k hands in 3 years. You are a recreational/ here and there reg player based on that volume for online poker. This is ridiculous low volume. You were a part time player that is probably tried to make a living coaching and wasn't working out for you. Basically 200nl player played about 300k hands and a little above break even. But only 300k hands in 3 years? Thats embarrassing amount of volume for someone that considers themselves as a pro poker player. You are not. You basically played for fun and now saying your quitting like it was some kind of living. 67k thats it? in 3 years? You would of made more money working at mcdonalds. One of my students is micro player he plays 10nl and 20nl he averages 40k a year through heavy volume playing around 2m hands a year. Thats what real grinders do to be a pro poker player. Even at micros hes more of a pro then you are cause hes not taking time off cause hes tired. Some snow flake nonsense. This is easiest living in the world today where you can work by yourself in a chair and can play naked if you want to. So what you are saying here is hes making more money then you at micros in 2 years then your entire 3 years at midstakes 💀 These results are beyond embarrassing. I would never coach a weak minded person like you. I alwasy tell them to kick rocks they are wasting their time if they don't want to play 200k hands a month. This is the result = make less money then working at mconalds in 3 years and you just quit. You put in at leasst 1m hands in a year you can say you were a professional poker player. Anything under that volume go get a job.

hey, nice videos :) where do i get this chart thing?

Your decision resonates, gl with future endeavours good sir 🎉❤

You are too nit, no worthy, you have to take an advantage of overfolding in microlimits

drinking vodka the whole video

What about be a live poker player ? Is it a viable option to make way more money than online ? What do you think about that, I love live poker but I only beat 10nl online

Preflop is the key here. There is not a lot of JT or 88 or 77 after he calls 3bet. They call 3b only 25-50% of the time. So after filtering on the flop i think the actual amount of JT 88 77 on the river is very low.

i miss the good old days !!!! hope you r well

It's interesting that the 5 years initial graph looks impressive: $125k! But that's pretty much minimum wage salary for those 5 years

😂 "Promo sm"

Where did u get that graph?

Ahh just seeing this video now man. I really enjoyed watching your daily grind and bank roll challenge videos at work on my lunch breaks 🤣. Anyway wish you all the best man. Thanks for all the great content 👍

If you play at GG you atleast get points for daily draw 😉

All the best bro

I haven't played poker or watched poker content for a very long time. I always come back once in a while to see how everyone is doing! This is an excellent and informative video, I wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavours!! I do want to add though that life is very short, you definitely should be doing something that you enjoy in life so that you do not have any regrets :).

Hey man it's hard to change, and you are did very well gl for everything in your new journey!

Sapevo che eri italiano perché vedevo gli stessi nomi con cui giocavo all nl 200 su ps

Lot of similar stories from people who pursued poker at 21 only to realize now in their 30s it was a poor decision

Hey! Great video! It would be interesting to hear about career opportunities after playing poker as in your case considering your traits that made you successful regular. Where could you apply all this? Especially in Italy 🇮🇹

Geez, this is like minimum wage.

It was amazing to hear your story, buddy. I'm watching lots of poker content, but know that I don't have much time nor perseverance to play myself. I'd rather contemplate others grinding and project it on myself. That's just enough to fulfil my gambling desire and to get back to life. In that regard, the name of your channel speaks for itself: your poker content is super positive, as it permits me not to get to a big negative by gambling :) I chose you and few other youtube poker grinders, and you were my most favourite one. I did know nothing about your background, apart you being an amazing poker player with brilliant logic and super smooth reaction on the worst bad beats, but I was constantly wondering who you are to be able to take these losses so easily (obviously, youtube content is just a fraction of your games). Apart from poker, I really feel you are a very good person, and you can give so much more to this world by doing something else too. Thank you so much for all your hard work in delivering this content. I'll be looking forward to whatever is coming to the channel next, whenever you are ready. I really wish you to find the right balance between the things that make you happy in life. I believe no-one can be happy by always grinding only one thing. It's about doing different ones and finding the right balance that works for you personally. Much love

Your story is very similar to mine. Passion lowers, low variance exploitive style 8bb/100 0 losing months era ends without crazy table selection, Covid isolation and poker becomes kinda depressing and before you know it your crusher friends that sweat you tell you you have fallen behind the curve and need to rebuild your game and bump up volume by a lot. 3bb/100 isn't the same as 6+ if you don't have the fire and passion to study and put in volume, it will only get worse, it's a good call to quit. Twitch Streaming is a grind in its own right. I took a detour into politics and now focus on interviewing people, UA-cam content and MTTs, often live, it has a lot more variety, and I hope you continue this UA-cam channel in some capacity. Especially since I just invested a full hour of my time first time seeing you :D

DeucesCracked-themed series were something else, so were Dr.Giggy, Zazano, Krantz and co :D

76s damn. should not be even in 3b range sb vs bu LOL

Your channel and your attitude have been great to watch. Thank you for sharing your journey. All the best!

Thx for the honest video. I watched like every video of the 10$ to 10k challenge last year, it was so chill… just came back after a while and found out you‘ll quit. Wish you good luck for the next phase of your life mate! I‘ve heard somewhere that about every 7 years there‘s a bigger change in a life. Could be a change in personality, big change in your job, even buying a house or just deciding to do fitness. But about every 7 years there‘s a big change. I‘m a bit in the same shoes as you. Currently working 40 hours as a software developer and studying after work. It‘s a 55 hour work week and sometimes pretty draining but i really like programming, working from home and the flexibility. I also make more income at 24 years than the average income is in my country. But i don‘t know if i‘ll be able to do it until i‘m old. Definitely will finish my studies and work a couple more years in IT but maybe a bigger change will come after that and who knows where the future will take us! Maybe your video will help me being able to change my job if it‘s not fun anymore in the future, we should be more open to try new things out and money is not everything.

Mi piace molto la tua storia... Capisco molto bene quello che dici e lo condivido a pieno.

There is no need to waste your life on this in 2024 when you live in Europe or the USA. The poker boom is long gone, regulars fight for crumbs, bots, crazy rake. 135 thousand euros over 10 years? You're not a boy born in a garbage dump whose prospects are to shovel garbage in a village in Argentina. This is not life and this is not money if you can get a job in a store and earn 2-3 times more. GL

❤

Hello mate! I've been watching all of your videos as they came out for over a year now in Australia. I never comment on videos but I did on yours one other time after an unlucky session on NL25 during the road to Vegas. Loved the content, you are a great presenter and they have been my favourite thing to watch on UA-cam. Thanks for explaining why you are moving onto something else. I follow along too. Sorry I didn't give more back but I've been here in the background 🙋 All the best mate!

thank you for all your content! all the best!

Good luck man, you´re an inspiration, my channel today has 400 people, almost 100 videos, because I´ve seen guys like you that helps a lot of people for free, its a life changing mainly for poor people like brazilian. tks a lot good luck, come to Brazil and live near the beach.. GL

Alles Gute für die Zukunft! Du bist auf alle Fälle der symphatischste Streamer in der Pokerszene! Machs gut!

I am 100% sure you will succeed in everything you put your mind to. Great player, great person. One of the most likeable people in the poker streaming space. Wish you nothing but the best. ❤

hearing you speak , its like you explained my last 14 years of life!!! started playing in 2011 , quickly rise up to 100NL, and stayed there for over 12 years...played around 5mil hands , made roughly 300K from poker, but its so hard sometimes, anyway i am lucky i invested some of the money in a construction bussines, so nowadays i have 2 incomes, i feel sometimes i wanna quit but i have 2 small boys and i need to provide..but i really fell like in the next 4 5 years i will quit aswell!! gl on your new adventures !!

Ricordo ancora i nostri inizi nello stesso periodo. Io ho preso questa decisione da qualche anno e posso assicurarti che quando giocherai come hobby lo farai molto meglio, senza pressione ed inoltre scoprirai quanti pochi soldi ci sono nel sistema poker rispetto alla vita reale. Lavorare è tutt'altro che noioso ;) GL per tutto

€10k above EV, lucky

We'll miss you Alex. Best of luck in your future adventures.

Ho giocato spesso con te e mi hai quasi sempre battuto. Vedere una persona che sa vincere che prende una decisione cosi, difficile ma consapevole non è comune. In bocca al lupo x tutto.

Online poker is a battle of the bots. Whoever creates the best bot ring that goes undetected wins. I bet 99% of people can’t beat acr 12NL cause it’s filled with bots, or at least it was 6 months ago.

U losing at 100 cus of rake

The grind is just too much. I would make more being an engineer with a salary that can play poker vs a pro full-time poker with variance….

Very good Video thank you!

Hey Alex, it's sad to see you quit approximately a year after I discovered your channel. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Glad you didn't just vanish without any traces. However, you're absolutely right with your decision to chase your dreams and to keep working on something that motivates you. Let us know about future UA-cam projects so we get the chance to jump over if you start anything. I'm also into productivity, happiness, and other self-improvement topics. It's been a great time, and you were always positive, which is what matters, after all. Thank you for the last year.

man,nothing is stable in this world!

All the best ! This is never an easy decision. The beginning of something else, I’m sure you will realize yourself more in your new project. Keep in touch ;)

Ahhh poker, the job that gets more difficult with time. I wouldn't dream of attempting to play for a living. That would just be so much stress. It's a game to be played for fun. If you are good, you will have some extra money. If you manage to maintain obsession for long enough, maybe you can make a living, but it will not be worth it unless you enjoy. Strong decision to quit while you're ahead, also appreciate the transparency and detail from you. Best of luck in your future endeavours.

Thanks for sharing your experiences! I always loved your streams, you are always positve!Greetings from Germany

Thank you very much for your honest content, few do it, success in your future my friend

Nice post! I thought i was a poker burnout, but then i decided to play every other day instead of every day. Its much more enjoyable to play when my brain gets a nice break between sessions. I play tiltfree basically, my results are better. And i can enjoy other things/work the days im off without feeling bad about it.
