I started 10 months ago investigating if I could earn enough to live from Poker some day.
Today I have to say I would rather clean windscreens in the street instead of being dependent on Poker. Just imagine you have to set an alarm every day to play 20 tables for several hours and maybe one bad day costs you 10 days of hard work and STRESS to recover your losses on a badbeat. As you are playing against 8 other players, the ratio from badbeat to lucky streak is 8:1, the other players didn't show up to throw their money away, they want to win as well. So at the end you are only shuffling around the money from one account to another in circles, one month you have it, another month the other one has it. But at the end of the year, pokerstars has a (I'm not sure and don't want to look it up) 6.7 BILLION revenue.
So better buy their stocks and encourage EVERYBUDDY to play poker online, because everybody can be a winning player!!!(for a while)
Poker stays entertainment for me, and even if I hit big one day, I would find better ground to invest my money

I do. But I've been doing it for only 3 months, maybe there is a HUGE downstreak just waiting for me lol, hope for the best. Just wonder how it will proceed further. And I don't play high stakes, only freerolls (I play them really a lot) and lowest stakes, not more than NL10. I try to make it $100 a week or about $400 a month. Not a big deal, though, but that's an average salary in my town at any 'standart' work, and I'd rather earn it by just sitting home in my armchair. At least I have this and can pay bills. Choice of real work in my town sucks.
Wondering why there're that much people in this thread texting they can't even imagine playing poker for a living. I don't think it's unreal if you want.

I'm starting to think that it's very difficult to live in poker, even knowing how to play, knowing everything about poker, we suffer a lot of variance and that's very unfair and we're not profitable in poker. It's like it did not depend on us!

for me, poker is like a hobby in my spare time, but sometimes poker brings me additional profit, which is good for me, I would also be able to win 1000-2000 thousand dollars and more somewhere in good tournaments or in a cash game, I probably would He quit his job and tried to make money with a poker game to pay for everything I need for my family, but I’m not able to play and I have to play online in my free time!
