$1.4 million, after taxes. That's my current nut for quitting.

Stepgov · Jul 26, 2017

I can't leave work. I work 5 days a week and study.

marakhovskii · Jul 26, 2017

1 or 2 million dollars will save you from working in McDonald's, but you still have to work, if you do not believe - calculate your expenses for 10 years

wilpinsi · Jul 26, 2017

I do not have this exact number, but since I'm not the master of poker, I only have to work ... jejejejeje
I believe that something around 5 million, would already make me only dedicate to poke

muunas · Jul 26, 2017

thats a pitty, but if you won 1 million you probobly wouldnt work

muunas · Jul 26, 2017

i think it could be 5000 euros a month, or about 200 eu a day, but since im not very good player it wouldnt happen soon

paulinhlt · Jul 26, 2017

Hahaha, I need to earn a bighit 1M usd

Amdrius · Jul 26, 2017

You can not leave work! This is one of the basic laws for a poker player. Otherwise, one day you will remain without money and without work and will play conditional chips. Do not look at those who have managed to do this and have come out well - their units and you are not one of them.

I feel like if you have to ask yourself this question, then you definitely shouldn't be quitting your job. I think most pros would say they got to a point where it was totally pointless to go to work. In my opinion, having a cpl years salary in your br would be the minimum. Also having a backup plan is pretty important (i.e. finish school if you're in school).

Ovitoo wins!

Emi · Jul 26, 2017

I would love to win like $300 dollars every month (I'm a student)

Nano5722 · Jul 26, 2017

In Russia, even if you can win 600-700 dollars every month, you easy can leave your job and play only poker. But it,s not so easy can be as if seems for all. You need to be patient and play the game well.

BriceNice · Jul 27, 2017

first 6 figure score, I wake up at 1pm and play poker for life

Brazenly · Jul 27, 2017

Depends pn how much you earn

i think as much as yu earn in 5 years is a good price

You just beat me to the answer. We have in Ukraine and 100 thousand is enough to give up work. That's all depends on how you manage this money.

m_christova · Jul 27, 2017

I love poker and I love my work.

That's why I am not sure if I would quit my work, even if I win lots of cash. I can say only, if I would win 1M$ , I would not need to go to work any more. That does not mean automatically, I would quit.

Regards

you know, I see some really good responses here. Personally I don't put a number on it. Instead I think of my bankroll (Live and online) as a high volatility investment account that I control with every action I make. from what buy-in to sit down at, to what tournaments to play in. all the way down to making a pre-flop raise to making a hero call or fold on the river.

Now, with that said, all investment accounts should be looked at as a form of retirement funds. Obviously its not my primary retirement fund, but with a little bit of luck it could be. On the other hand I could lose most of it. So I'm always adding to my bankroll with the extra funds I have. it is my last account I invest in, and that's even after my basic checking account and savings. If I lose money i don't need, its not lost money. If I make money off I don't need, then I'm closer to retirement.
