I usually say this: "Imagine we are flipping coins. Heads and I win $5.25. Tails, you win $4.75. That's poker. If you can flip 2,000 times a day, it's a decent living."

This makes absolutely no sense at all. Are you inferring that anyone can turn a profit playing poker and that they will always come out on the winning end in the end if they "flip" enough coins? Because I would say it's like this:

1% of all online players are actually making a profit while 99% are saying they are but are really not. After all, we all know everyone online is winning and there are no losers.

If you want to play poker for a living, play poker for a living. Stop trying to convince people in chatrooms that it's a good idea, and stop posting here about trying to convince people in chatrooms that it's a good idea. Just play poker.

Shut up. You have almost 500 posts in less than a month. All of your posts in this thread have been detrimental to all who have read them.

Sorry for posting something that came across my head? I did not say that I was trying to convince anyone to play poker for a living. It was more about me defending my choice of a career countless times. Maybe you should take your own advice and spend more time playing poker rather than posting in this thread.

BUT WHAT IF YOU LOSE

[MrMore]

Explain it this way:
Ask if they know how casinos make money.
If they don't (and most don't), forget it, they CAN'T understand.
If they do know how casinos make money, tell them that's basically what you do, too. IOW, instead of banking blackjack, you're banking poker.
