Message: [QUOTE="Pokerpoet2, post: 6674240, member: 430261"] I know from an experienced professional, that making money from playing Poker is far from glamorous! Spending a lot of time living out of a suitcase, shaving in public toilets at Motorway services, sometimes having to sleep in his own car. Thanks! But no thanks, if that is the down side, I really don't want to know. I will stick with local venues and make a little money, but sleeping in my own bed at night. Many professional players have to have a second income either by going into a partnership with someone, which can cause problems if you are just a sleeping partner and they are doing all the work, or buy property to rent out which brings a whole different set of problems like repair bills and tenants defaulting on the rent. Basically you are self employed, and I was for 15 years, it is no fun, Great when you are making money, but not so good when things out of your control go South. [/QUOTE]
