Message: [QUOTE="Thewebmaster, post: 587171, member: 474"] [b]Online is one way to go[/b] Hi all, This is an interesting thread, I have to disagree that online poker isn't the way to go. If your thinking of starting out as a pro online poker is definitely the way to start at least. With most large poker rooms offering tournaments up to and above $100,000 $200,000 and even $1,000,000 You also don't have the added expense of travelling far and wide looking for the big buck tourneys,extra clothing,food,drink etc...(which you would pay more for than if you were at home). Also you can play for longer if your online, you don't have to put up with comments from other players if you don't want, you can concentrate more with the game online. The hardest part is starting with a big enough bankroll as mentioned, playing poker professionally people automatically think of WSOP stars/winners but playing poker professionally just means you make a living at it, which if you have the bankroll and are a decent enough player and your living expenses aren't too excessive isn't that hard. There are many players even here at cardschat who easily have the capability to play for a living, if they don't they usually choose not to or they lack the confidence but you don't have to play pro's to be a pro. Most players earning a living online are just playing sit-n-gos with the odd MTT, sit-n-go's with 6 people your generally looking at around $50 - $100 buy-in+ sit-n-go's with 10 people probably around $25 - $50+ buy-in. If you can consistently come in the money that would be generally enough to earn a living. It obviously depends on what you need to live on, most small families could get by on around $2,000 per month, from posts you've read here at cardschat you know that to be fairly easily achieved by some players. The problems usually come when you decide you want more to live on and enter more expensive tourneys, moving up in the money to much higher buy-ins results in a different type of player and if you don't get used to that change quickly can result in some big losses. Just some of my views, great thread though Tony :) [/QUOTE]
