Message: [QUOTE="PoKeRFoRNiA, post: 2174396, member: 51710"] It honestly depends on what you average bb/100(big blinds per 100 hands) is. And then calculate it for yourself. If you make average of 5bb/100hands, then that's profit of $10 every 100 hands. Is that really worth quitting your job? You won't be able to make $1/$2 a living. I barely played $1/$2 to have a great run and use the winnings to pay for my trip and expenses to Korea. Other than that, to make it a job, not possible. I currently have two jobs, one as a math teacher and other as professional math/chem tutor. I am close to making 6 figure income, it's not worth giving up your job for low stakes poker. You should treat poker as a hobby outside of your work but never as a replacement unless you realize for sure that you can make poker your steady income. However, to good poker players, it can be a good replacement over minimum wage jobs. With jobs, you don't risk money. You're only risking time and labor/work. With poker, you risk time, labor/work, and money. So you have to ask, if you're making equivalent to your current job, is it really worth it? Majority of professional poker players nowadays started off their poker career as a hobby, which turned into a job after they realized that they can make WAY more than their job. Chris Moneymaker was an accountant who played poker for hobby, playing satellites and low stakes, which he won a seat to WSOP through satellite and eventually went on to win the whole thing. Once he became multi-millionaire, he quitted his job. Millions of professional poker players did this as well. Only ones who don't have jobs but became millionaires nowadays are people who started off online using freerolls or small deposit, and work their way up, such as Obrestad and Dwan. [/QUOTE]
