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.

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

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 😊

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?
