Ill be honest, I joined the forum because I wanted to try to bring my game up to a level where I could potentially make a living off it. I am here to make money. And yes, I am just now taking my very, VERY first steps on that journey. But while I am aiming for money, I chose the path of poker because I do love it. Even if I get 6 months down the line and realize I'm never going to have a snowballs chance in hell of making a living out of this, I am absolutely still going to play. No, I don't think it will be easy, and I already know that I have literally YEARS to go before i'll even be in a position to make that transition, but I do have to believe that it is possible to be profitable. There is a lot to beat. Rake. Taxes. Probably more Taxes. Loss of benefits from not holding a common job. No one above you to push you to it. Freedom. *Yes, freedom is a massive benefit, but if you don't have discipline freedom can also lead you astray* I would think, though, that you can be as profitable as you are capable of being, and putting in the work and the blood and the sweat and the tears will certainly make it more possible. There are people now who live very comfortable lives by way of poker, and if you put everything you have into improving, and never stop trying to improve, I cant really say I see a reason why you couldn't either.
