Message: [QUOTE="swingro, post: 2522611, member: 64543"] I am a semi amateur. Poker is a hobby but i made some money over it playing the micros. There are some requirements to becoming a pro. First of all you need to be sure you are making double or triple the money you are making at your current job . I am far away of making the money from poker as i make as an engineer at my current job. And i am from Romania where life is not that expensive. Probably it is harder for someone from UK, Germany, Netherlands or Canada. Maybe 10 times harder. There are pros that moved to Thailand, Philippines or other country where life is nice and not expensive. Life as a pro is not easy and there are few that can pursuit it. Some can have a good life grinding and winning at 5 NL, others need to grind and be winners at least at 100NL. Here in. Romania a good 25NL grinder will probably have a better than average life. Here is the funny part of a newsletter recived from BlackRain79. [B]But each situation is unique and I am not here to crush anyone's dreams. I am just here to provide some proper perspective from my experience. I recently came across one of the most hilarious and eye-opening PG&C threads that I have ever seen on 2+2. Two young guys (early to mid 20's) grinding NL2 and NL5 all day and partying all night in Cambodia. This seems insane to me and many others given how little they are making. However, anybody who has ever been to Cambodia knows that it basically costs nothing to live in that country. They are also young and having the time of their lives. So for them living on a beach in Cambodia grinding nickels and dimes all day still easily beats working some crappy 9-5 back in cold and rainy England. Who am I to argue with that? [/B] [/QUOTE]
