Message: [QUOTE="istbno, post: 7182641, member: 128975"] Yes, poker can be a career, but it’s not an easy one. Unlike traditional jobs, poker offers no guaranteed salary, no benefits, and comes with huge variance—meaning even skilled players can lose for weeks or months. To succeed professionally, you need not only strong technical skills but also bankroll management, emotional discipline, and the ability to keep studying as the game evolves. Many pros treat it like running a business: tracking results, investing in coaching, and maintaining strict routines. The freedom, travel, and potential earnings can be attractive, but the lifestyle is demanding, often stressful, and not suited for everyone. Poker can absolutely be a career path, but it requires resilience, adaptability, and a mindset prepared for uncertainty. [/QUOTE]
