Message: [QUOTE="zinzir, post: 5332508, member: 406896"] If that's how you see poker, then I would like to suggest you a much safer and fruitful way of making money: a job. You don't need cards as an instrument to make money, you can just use your head and your two hands. If you work, not only you get money (actually you are guaranteed to get a certain amount of money), but also contribute to society, think about it, you could work in healthcare, be a firefighter, a teacher, a garbage man. Playing poker just for the money is simply a waste of energy, in my opinion even the majority of poker pros started to play the game for recreational purposes and liked the game so much they decided to make a living out of it. Poker was designed as a card game, and casinos adopted it as a way to generate money aka rake in exchange for entertainment. Casinos, both brick and mortar and online, don't cater to the pros, they just tolerate the pros because they can't really discriminate against them. Casinos cater to recreational players who consider a loss of money the price to pay for having fun. Winning at a casino is just a gimmick, in reality players have the odds stacked against them, in poker because of the rake. Yes, some people (a select few) can make a living by playing poker, but they have to put in a lot of hours of play and study in order to stay profitable besides being talented which is a prerequisite, the reason they are capable of doing that is their love for the game, because you have to love what you are doing in order to achieve mastery in anything, and mastery is a must in poker unlike most of the other professions. In poker you can't be average and make money simply because the average player is a losing one. The top pros say they don't even think about the money when they make decisions at the poker table, it's like they play for chips with no value. [/QUOTE]
