If you get those kind of questions in your mind, I'd advise you not to. You must want to play poker and be dedicated to it if you want it to be "worth". Remember, there's no easy money, in order to win and it to be "worth" to play, you must have skills, which can be obtained by learning and being dedicated.
All those crybabies. Tired of those kinds of threads.
No its not worth it if you start a thread like this. You are clearly not dedicated
Every person had at some point a tough day......but generally speaking....is it worth playing poker?
I totally agree if you have to ask the question you already have your answer. In my own case I am on the on the tables on Bovada 14-16 hours a day playing MTTs usually 8-10 a day with maybe a 2 hour break in the afternoon if I'm lucky. In January 2016 I will be taking the Bovada bankroll adding it to about $500ish in savings and moving to Las Vegas where I will be a full time live tournament player playing 3-4 tournaments a day plus limit cash games in between. My workday will be 15-18 hours a day Mon-Fri. with weekends off.
Do I ever ask if it's worth it? Absolutely not because to me the question is senseless. It's not only worth it it's a craving a passion that can't be stopped. Long work days, no health insurance, no retirement, and more mental stress than anyone can imagine and I would not give up the lifestyle I have entered and will be entering in Las Vegas for anything in the world.
