Poker as a job! I think if you ask anyone who makes a living playing poker and they are being honest, they will say it is pretty easy. There is a lot of loose money to be had in poker because unlike most "jobs", everyone thinks they are the best! Most people tend to make there own troubles in the business. They are their own worst enemies! I believe that if you approach it modestly and try not to complicate things, there is money to be made. As for the online play, only 10% of the worlds best online players are going to make anything that amounts to alot. This does not mean that you can't build a nice bankroll! If you love the game and I mean really love the game, you should look at is a Long Term committment! Don't focus all your attention on short term goals! Ask yourself, WHERE WOULD I LIKE MY BANKROLL IN 10 YEARS? NewsFlash: I am not nor are most of you in that 10%. It is nice to see some of the kids making a living playing the game, but in reality, a large percentage of that 10% are going to go bust eventually. They always have and always will and these old time players like Brunson know this! Poker as a Job, Naaaa! I will continue to play for birthday money
