I'm a busboy and food runner at a restaurant. As of now I'm building my bankroll to set myself up to play higher stakes. So unfortunately no I definitely don't make more money from poker than my job cause of the small deposits, some wins and losses, and bankroll building etc. But when I finally do and if I can win consistently that will make life and bill paying so much easier for me!!

PS: To any of you out there that make more money in poker than your job I envy you and wish I had your problem lol🙂

Hello.
My work brings me the main income. I am a civil servant and work in the administration of my city. Poker is a hobby for me, which sometimes brings me extra income and always brings me pleasure.

Poker brings me a small income, but unfortunately this is not enough to leave work. I hope someday I will be able to earn enough by playing my favorite game.

It's possible, if you can't play it is risky

Yes because I haven’t had a job in over 10 years 😂 I hate working the same job over and over .. the only thing I like to do repetitive is play poker or stream something 😂

Unfortunately, I am still very far from the moment when poker will bring me the main income. But I really want it)))

It's great guys! I am not alone! Quit the rat race few years ago, even I didn't hate to slave (aka work for a while).

So yes, i definitely earn more from poker than a 'job', as I don't have either. Some months, my income zero, or even in small minus, some months even higher than any of my previous salary was.....

GL guys! And try to stay far from the rat race!!!!!! Not worthy at all!!!!!!!

No, I only play poker in my spare time. The reasons for that are complex. First of all, I didn't know enough yet that I would dare to make enough money with it. You need good analysis tools to gather information about opponents. The most important thing is to determine the type of player. Because even poker professionals need a lot of fish at the table in order to be able to make a real profit. If there are no fish at the table that a poker pro can gouge, he leaves the table. Then it is no longer worthwhile for him to play. You will also have fluctuations in your income. If you can't handle it, you can't become a poker pro. I prefer to have my securities. I also don't know if I would enjoy playing on several tables at the same time for 8 hours a day. As a professional poker player, you have to play at several tables to balance out the variance. This is the only way to play enough hands.

It's very strange to think that poker can be the main job...
It's like going to a theater club and tuning in to the fame of Hollywood actors.
I don't argue that someone wins a lot of money in poker, but these are exceptions...
I'm a busboy and food runner at a restaurant. As of now I'm building my bankroll to set myself up to play higher stakes. So unfortunately no I definitely don't make more money from poker than my job cause of the small deposits, some wins and losses, and bankroll building etc. But when I finally do and if I can win consistently that will make life and bill paying so much easier for me!!

I make more from my work, but what is made from poker feels better.

hi

if we're talking about my poker earnings for the month, they're equal to half the salary I get, so I still have to work

Hello, my main job brings me money, not poker! Poker is a hobby for me and I'm just learning to play it and building my bankroll from scratch, because my main job is not particularly monetary and I can't even allocate money for a bankroll! But I hope and believe that someday poker will bring me additional income and I will be able to spend it on entertainment and recreation! I wish everyone good luck at the tables and big victories in poker and in life!

At the moment Poker is not a stable source of income, I still lack a lot of level!

People who make big bucks from poker don't visit this forum, we are all amateurs here.

Hi.
Currently, I earn an average of $ 40-70 a month from poker. And although this money is very little and not enough for life, but for me it is a good result, and I continue to work on improving my skills.
Good luck.
