Message: [QUOTE="pentazepam, post: 5319912, member: 46058"] Do NOT play live tournaments as the main game if you want to be professional poker player! The variance makes it almost impossible to predict any form of income. And even if you are better than most of the other players it is almost impossible to have a big enogh edge in tournaments to go pro. The live cash games are still pretty soft and if you are a proven winner in them you can take say 10 % of your winnings per year and play tournaments. But that is a pure gamble decision if you want to have a chance to score big. So find a CASH game that you can beat over an extended period of time (at least a year) and build your bankroll. If you can't build a bankroll in cash games do not try to go pro. Take a normal job and only play poker for fun or like a lottery type of game (tournaments) with the money you have left after rent, food and other bills are paid. [/QUOTE]
