A better way to phrase the question would be, "how many people over 40 years old actually make a living STRICTLY playing poker?" The answer would be around ZERO. Young people think just because they have had a couple of good years, that they are destined for greatness in the game. But eventually you realize that once you get to a cerrtain skill level, you are not much better than a lot of other people sitting at your table. Add on to that, even though you play hands perfectly, it just takes one bad beat to put you on the rail. Skill is crucial to the game, but luck is still 80% of the game, and is nearly impossible to make enough money to live off of, considering all the time it takes just to accumulate those morsels.
used to, not anymore.
4thandinches is right. get it when you're young and lucky. invest it and live off that and poker becomes an expensive hobby again.
JCgrind it doesnt matter if you believe me or not i no for a fact and if anyone nos how to manage a bankroll then anyone can make good money , i mainly played the 8doller and 15doller 180 sng and the pay outs from them are $400 and $750 so aslong as u got a bankroll and cash in a few u will do fine and win one a day then it works out good money

A lot of people play poker as a source of income. I think you are very incorrect when you say that poker is 80% skill. There are fish at every level of poker so you can always move up and get better and still win. Even at high stakes poker there are going to be a lot of people that are not that good at the games.
