Poker is a job?

[Dieppl]

you must be very good at it for you to do that. and you must be lucky too. still, you should have some savings, just in case

[nialebunker]

poker is a game!)

theres no more fun in poker if its a job. you cant win all the time. granted some people hit that 1 big score but they usualy blow it also thinkin they can just go do it again

Yeah id have to agree with you cause i think im pretty much a break even player online for the last 4 or 5 years. But when gambling thats a WIN lol

If you are very good playing, it can be a work ... but alone pastime

[goyomaster]

It can be, but jobs are useful and a poker player is useless. I mean what do they give to the world? Just entertainment when you watch poker on TV...

The way I look at it is, is if you're like a player like Isildur1 who wants to be the best in teh world at something, it can be a FUN job. Meaning, there's a lot of fun outlooks found in poker that can make you sweat, but not much---if ever.

I try to cashout my winnings as soon as I win them. I failed this month coz I won $70.00 in a couple of days and I didn't cashout and ended up playing some crappy tourney...

My bankroll is never going to change irl so winning $100 dollars every few days helps a bunch!

Yes, some people do make a living at it, but it certainly isn't easy and I'm sure not nearly as glamours as you might think.

If I were to try and make a living playing poker, I would be living under a bridge in about a week

it's mostly about luck and inspiration. I have a work friend that has been living the first 2 years of college just from poker. no other option to support himself. So....some people can do it :P
