Message: [QUOTE="playinggameswithu, post: 4034299, member: 284307"] Dude realistically "pro" poker is a hell of a profession,you need a Ph.D to play the game consistently profitably. Most poker "pro's" are broke as hell for good reasons. The cash game rake is high frequency,revenue based,percentage cut which means the majority of the money goes exponentially to the rake. Poker consumes your life, the culture is notoriously poisonous. The level of disrespect towards money is in the poker culture which is a fatal mistake. I would say get a profession not poker. I'v seen to many people quit terrified of being homeless because they lost. Remember in poker you can lose for no logical reason besides downswings that includes Phil Ivey's 2015. Stay away from poker as career use it as a lucrative hobby and get a profession. [/QUOTE]
