Default Re: Play poker for a living? Doubt it. A great hobby to have though.

I got fired for my job 2 weeks ago and I started playing for a living. Since then i've won 30 K in donkaments after playing over 250 tournaments. Your problem is you're playing limit and it will take forever/boring to make a lot of money. The variance of mtt's is a beast but just do whatever suits your playing style best.

What an arrogant reply. Big fakin deal. Help those who are trying to do the same then. I play Div 1 tennis with a fakin scholarship and I probably beat the shet out of you at tennis because I have been playing it for like 15 years and I dont act that arrogant when someone asks me for help on tennis. Poker players are so naive, amazing.

Your original post is a narrative. It says you can't make it as a pro and now treat poker is a hobby. When did you ask anyone for help?

[/ QUOTE ]

Who declared him the best online player? Your subsequent posts are almost as ridiculous as your original one.

Look at sbrugby, the best online player today, won 3 million this year and lost 2 million in less than 2 months

You're right... being up 1 million this year is awful, and clear evidence that the game isn't beatable. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Thread saved from complete trainwreck by Dynasty linking his Three Years in Vegas post.
Forgot how good of a read that was.

The biggest problem with OP was this statement:
"I am calling it quits with this project as I am tired of this fluctuations and not seeing any results. I mean players perhaps make less mistakes at those levels but cīmom, how hard could it be to play break-even poker?. "
Your not calling it quits...YOUR PROJECT FAILED.
And to answer your question....obviously hard.
