do any of you make enough money to have to work?

dajaga · Jul 27, 2010

Hey I was wondering if any of you guys are good enough to play online poker as your fulltime job or is it just a parttime/hobby

nc_royals · Jul 27, 2010

Part time for me. Has paid for several vacations though. I dont have the time to put into it to make a living at it...

Welcome To CC.

Hobby. Some months it makes me money, some months it doesn't. Just thinking of doing it for a living makes me toss my cookies.

whatafarse · Jul 27, 2010

seems like these days you need to be able to play over 10 tables at a time to make a living. Just thinking of doing that every day makes me sick.

WillySmackYoAss · Jul 27, 2010

I can't play for a living, but I have paid for 4 cruises with poker winnings from a home game.

Then you work again and don't play anymore...

I make enough money to have to work, yes.

Bovinity · Jul 27, 2010

Heck, I don't even make enough to make a withdrawal anymore.

I think I managed to somehow get worse, I was up a lot and now I'm barely break-even!

JEP712 · Jul 27, 2010

Not a living for me, but it does provide some extra money for that I can treat myself to!

dantheman91 · Jul 27, 2010

Most definitely a hobby. It's too frustrating to do it as a career. Even though lately I've been doing about $15 an hour at rush...

bRiMaTiOn · Jul 28, 2010

It's just a hobby for me.

Me too

Seriously - if I made enough money with poker it would be work, too.

LarryT503 · Jul 28, 2010

Make a living? That is the dream only a rare few ever achieve. But still,..I keep playing! So I guess you better enjoy it.

Dreams of Tragedy · Jul 28, 2010

partime for me but, since they are now playing poker game in my state I'm saving up to start playing live

nathan12420 · Jul 28, 2010

Poker is a game of patience and choices. I am working on both constantly. I love this game so much, but because of recent life changes am not going to put another dime on the sites. If I get some money through a freeroll I am going to play it as well as I can. Hopefully, one day I will be able to make money. I know I am good enough, but I'm not sure if I'm patient enough yet. God is showing me how to be patient. I wouldn't do it for a living, but for charities I will if I can.

nathan12420 · Jul 28, 2010

I did build up from thirty something to 500 in a week and a half one time, but got greedy with a $50 HU loss and then a $100 HU loss. After that I just had a complete meltdown. I have advice for anyone who is trying to build. STAY in your limits, unless you wake up ready to play patient. Then once you feel somewhat bored stop. You have to always stay fresh to make money daily.

vasileAckYpopovici · Jul 28, 2010

Part time for me , i`m still young..but i know guys who transformed this play for fun in a full time job..who knows , maybe i will be good enough to play for full time job ;-)

CheeseConey · Jul 28, 2010

Total hobby for me. I just love to play. I have no real aspirations to make a living out of playing poker. Too inconsistant to plan your life around.

I have done the same thing. It seems like i have a 1200 dollar cap on my account. Once i get 1200 dollars it wont let me get any higher no matter my style of play. Its weird. So no i cant live off 1200 dollars. LOL

Poker Orifice · Jul 28, 2010

I make enough that I don't have to deposit again (online). I never make enough to play at buyin level I'd like to be playing at (and expectations aren't that high really).

thetaxman1 · Jul 28, 2010

Its a hobby for me. But I dream of parlaying into retirement. Who wants to work at playing cards.
.

Pothole · Jul 28, 2010

I earned $8k tonite in 1 1/2 hrs. To do that in poker, I would have to play at a stake level that would soil my pants. I'll stick to working 100 hrs a year and play poker for fun ( even though it has paid for my last 2 trips to Vegas and the next one in Sept ),,,,tyvm, all from a single $50 deposit.

greenokom · Jul 28, 2010

I follow the game of a player named moronforce. This player plays every day about 9 hours a day. I guess that's his job. His bankroll didn't grow but because he plays a lot he is getting a lot of rackback. In the past two and half years he get a 115,000$. It's a 3800$ in a month.

thejuanupsman · Jul 29, 2010

It's a hobby that supplements my retirement. I have quite a few of those and without them probably wouldn't be able to stay retired.

KingCurtis · Jul 29, 2010
