Message: [QUOTE="zachvac, post: 627336, member: 26306"] 18 year old college Freshman. No intentions on going pro, but I intend to keep playing. I go on tilt too much when it's just a fraction of my spending money, I simply couldn't handle losing money even for just a week in what's supposed to be my job, my source of income. If you're gambling with your paycheck, the worst you can do is lose it, if your gambling IS your paycheck, you're not only losing money, you're not making any money either. But even if I could handle the swings, play well consistently, grind it out, I'm expecting to make more money from my first job out of college than I would for poker. I'm not sure what the average online pro makes, but I'm pretty sure that if I do well in college, I'm looking to make a good amount of money with a computer science degree. Of course I have thought about writing my own poker software (and after playing ultimatebet, I'm convinced I could do better lol). Then I could move to the Caribbean or wherever online gambling can't be prosecuted and run the site from there lol. That's the one way to make a consistent income with no poker skills whatsoever. You just sit there and watch the money rake in. BUT more realistically, I'll keep playing poker, got a good game going in college with some friends, I consistently make money from that, play a lot of online poker (but currently I am down online). I'll just keep on working to get better. Poker as a job would be no fun, unless it was the kind of job where I could just retire because I'm rich as sh** and instead play poker. It's fun for me, and I want it to stay that way. [/QUOTE]
