Hey guys need some help with this hand.
Player at the button is fish with 50/10 stats that's why I opted to 3bet.
Villain (UTG+1) is a good winning reg with stats 30/25. Fold to 3bet is around 50%.
Flop can be played differently but my main question is river action. I'm really not sure what the best action is. Seems a bit weak to skip a river bet and don't charge his pairs 7x,88,99,tt,JJ, QQ?,KK? (even with the 3 flush river).
If we decide to bet it's a clear bet/fold even with 100bb stack?
I only have 700 hands on him (altought I can see via PTR he is a long time winner at this network 5-10 and higher).

If this was 2008 I would say "Sure go full-time poker" you can make a very good yearly wage playing poker for some years!
But in 2016 I don't agree with this anymore. In my opinion this "market" has reached the maturity/decline state and games are in general a lot harder. The expected yearly wage as a good poker pro is a lot lower also and in my opinion will continue to go down.
I'm also an EU engineer that went full time poker some years ago and I can understand your dilemma. In my opinion, now it's to late to drop your career and there's a high probability you'll regret this decision a few years from now.
But poker as a part-time, it's a very good solution if you can still get time to play without being too tired. You get the best of both worlds: career and doing a part-time you really enjoy! And if you consider accepting an engineer position in another EU country with better wages you can always keep your part-time :)
Hope this helped. GL
