Do you make more money from poker than your actual livelihood job??

[Djon25]

I will never trade a robot for poker, because poker is an additional income.:deal::deal::deal:

 

[Muzza55621]

No definitely not don’t play enough or big enough tournys

 

[happiicake]

I only play poker as a hobby, and not nearly enough to withdraw anything to get even near what my job pays. But hopefully I will, sometime in the future

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.

I kind of disagree with you about the pros and sharks need fish to succeed. Poker is poker I've seen pros go at it on TV rather there are bad players and good players. Somebody has to win it depends on position, bluffs, analyzing etc. There is room for anybody to make money in poker regardless if you're a beginner, vet, fish, shark, etc.

I wont ever make a living playing poker. I play for the fun and excitement of the game. If I make some money that's great but I dont have the time and would rather enjoy my kids than make poker my livelihood.

No, I don't make enough money playing poker. On average, my monthly profit is 40-50 dollars. My salary is 10 times higher and is about $ 450 a month. I work in the security service, but I hope that someday I will be able to earn a living playing poker.

So far, poker is just a hobby for me. I would like the hobby to bring additional income, not to mention being the main source of income.

 

[RJohnson1188]

Well for now it's all about building experience and savings in the game. But later on I plan to really hit the tournaments alot. For now it's just the passion for the game right now

 

[whiskers77]

So far poker is just a side-income for me and I earn more with my daily job.
It is a hobby still and maybe it shall just remain like this.
But in case of need, because of loosing the job or something like this, I guess, I also could switch completely to poker. But so far I am not sure, if I would like to do this the whole day.... Maybe I could become bored about it.

Hi Friend.

I'm a bit far from that being my reality, but there we go trying every day.

 

[cardplayer2k21]

Playing poker full time does not sound that interesting to me. Couple of tournaments on the weekend are enough for me.

 

[tiagomeireles85]

Out of money

I currently make more money with poker as I am unemployed

 

[Igor G]

Unfortunately, I am not earning enough to leave my main job at the moment. On average, poker brings me $ 100-150 a month. But I'm sure that in time I will be able to significantly increase my income from the game, it's only a matter of time.

 

[DiegoRamos]

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🙂

It depends on the month...but in 2020~2021 I made more money with poker.

 

[alien666dj]

At the moment, poker only brings additional income.

 

[dregan]

I think that very few people from this forum make money only on poker. Such players will not play freerolls. I personally manage to take only 2 of my salaries from poker for a year. And I'm glad that at least I can do it.

 

[pljosko]

The minimum wage in poker is enough to raise my adrenaline, and I cover my needs with earnings at work, poker is primarily fun for me.

 

[dongato2]

Not at the moment since I only play nl2 but I think it will happen over time

 

[0546474]

Poker for me is not a source of income, but a hobby that I really love !!! But I am learning to play and maybe in the future everything will change )))

 

[danydidi]

It's was a time ,I did.but not anymore .in 2018 for several months I use to do like 2000$ per month from online poker but not anymore since I don't have much time for it now

 

[619Leafs]

No I am not that good to make more money in poker than my everyday job.

Not yet, but the results are growing gradually

 

[moularaki]

If that was the case i would stop working and concentre on my game
but it is not so i still have my job and play poker as an amateur

 

[takinitSLEAZEE]

That would be awesome, but no... Or as I like to believe not yet.

My social security and poker winnings are often in competition with each other. I think my poker winnings win more often than lose in the competition. A side note, you can only win consistently in the long run. There is no such thing as consistency in the short run so be careful not to overextend your buy ins. Currently my stake to buy in ratio is 400:1, but I'll be cashing out part of my stake soon to get the ratio back to 300:1. That's where I like to keep it.
