play poker as a pro?
I would never consider even trying it without a big bank roll and a plan. Phil Ivey has been consider the best Poker player of all time, but since he has been caught cheating 3 times I would consider Phil Hellmuth the best all time. and Phil Hellmuth went from, millions to broke, and had to borrow money from a friend to take to a casino and start back up again. of course he rebounded, but as good as I am, and I feel I am really good poker player, I studied Phil Hellmuth extensively, I earned over 180 mil in play money. never bought chips, But I wouldn't even consider trying to turn pro, most pro poker players don't have what it takes to keep banking over a long period of time. however, I would consider myself good enough to play against them in a tournament. maybe not win, but I bet I wouldn't be in last, and I very well might even make payouts. look into how many pro poker players went broke and never recovered before you make your mind up to try pro. Peace" and Happy Bank Rolling....
