Does anyone play poker for a living?

I have a more profitable job. So, i play poker just for fun and relax.
 
I've been playing poker for about ten years, and 8 of them I played on conventional chips for pleasure but two years ago I logged on to PokerStars and play for real money !!! I go to a small plus))))
 
I want to live poker! Once I have enough places to play live poker. if I could move to Las Vegas is going to live poker!!!
 
I my case. I have quite well paid job now and my poker skills are only a bit over average.
So I did the math and my estimate was, that after about 3-6 months of training I could make like 1/3 of my current income. There is nice potential for growth, but also some risks of whole online poker business going down slowly. Risks like goverment regulations, hackers, poker bots etc.
So I think its possible to become poker pro. But its not easy at all, all those poker pros work really hard. You wont get rich fast, maybe never get rich. And if you are smart enough to be poker pro, you should be smart enough to be pro in something else.

So I would recomment to go that path only if you really love the game.
 
this year I have to try to win some money in poker, who knows maybe it will change my life forever. 😀

lets talk about something!
 
you can earn a living and you can burn everything and become homeless
 
I've never played live. I do not have the opportunity and time. I have enough of the game and online.
 
I've never played. And if I played that with friends for fun. While not the level that even individuals something to read.
 
Getting a good monthly poker income is my goal for this year although I am still missing a lot
 
I think it's possible to make money playing poker. But can always come from bad luck, so I personally wouldn't rely solely on poker. You must have a stable income in addition to poker and poker as entertainment and extra income
 
Hi guys I play online everyday and live about 6 times a month ive had a few little cashes nothing thats gonna help me quit my job yet but im working hard on training programs and reading and watching videos im forgetting to go over hands ive played a review them I think until I master that gonna have to keep working goodluck all
 
I am software engineer and I also have profitable job.. but I like to play poker and want to get that level that I can play some higher stakes MTTs when I have time..If i catch some final table and nice price it would be nice 🙂
 
Hello, its good question about play for living🙂 I started play freerolls, won several $ and now playing with micro stakes🙂 Believe that i improve my poker skills and could play with a higher "buy-in" 🙂

GL to all players🙂
 
I did it when I was living in France and when I was a student but it was easy cause when you're student you don't have a lot of charge so 600€ a month is enough otherwise you really have to be a good player 😊
 
Poker is not my main source of income, but was playing with zero 2400$, and had wanted to be a professional.
 
Well, considering current outcome of Libratus vs. human challenge. Do you think it will become harder for online poker pros to defend their game against army of bots?
