It's too much for me, but for sure there are people who live only by playing poker

I could not, probably, give my whole life for poker. This is not the main profession and most likely I play for fun. If I had taken up poker before 10 years, I would have achieved good results. Let's see what happens in the future, but for now, the plans are to make a bankroll on freerolls and hire a poker coach to learn how to use hand analysis programs and correct my game. And then, if there is a rounder stable result in plus, then I will simply become more time for poker production, well, most of the time I will, of course, raise families. Family is everything.

If the game would have brought a tangible income, then after a while, I think I still would not play it. Lost interest in the game.

Only some amount of money and not fully life. Because I have my goals outside of poker which I like to achieve

If I could be sure that playing poker could bring in the required amount of money every month and there would be no problems with it in the future - yes, I would be ready to devote my whole life to this game ... until I change my mind

If I were disgustingly rich to begin with, then sure, why not? This is of course an assessment which stems from my current experiences and knowledge of the pleasures this world has to offer, which would rapidly expand once I would inherit such a fantastic wealth. There's no telling what my answer would be a year or more in the future.

If I knew that poker would bring me a guaranteed income, I would have devoted my life to it. But nothing is guaranteed in poker. Today I was lucky, the month is not lucky.

Excluded for me! I have a job that I am happy with and poker is my pleasure after a day of work.

Hard to say. More likely no than yes. After all, we only have one life...

For me, poker is a hobby that brings joy and satisfaction to my life. Poker is a good opportunity to have fun, but there are certainly many things in our lives that are far more important than poker.

There was a time when I thought about giving it a shot, but those days are way behind me now. The games have gotten tougher, and the grind required to be successful is unfathomable to me. I have a lot of respect for those special few who have the talent and dedication to play this maddening game for a living.

Poker is a hobby for me, I think the main thing in life is family.

It's a hard way to make an easy living"" & sure if you enjoy the game, maintain a learner's mindset, & have a practice of managing your bankroll well. You'd also need to be lucky in your life to have the luxury of a bankroll to play stakes that mean something to you & more importantly, TIME to devote all day & night to playing a card game minus stressors which can affect your decision making.

I've been playing for over 10 years and I think it's forever. I can't imagine a weekend without tournaments.

I think it's all about profitability. Certainly if all poker players made money it would be one of the most sought after professions in the world, which is not true. If I get the same profitability I have in my formal job, why not dedicate my life to it! For sure I would just keep myself as motivated as possible to make it work.

I aspire to poker to become the main type of employment in my life. After all, in poker every day something happens and it's great.

Yes. Definitely, if I came out with an income of about $ 1,000 a month. In the meantime, only a slight minus - you have to work. :(
