If you won a million dollars, would you quit poker?

[Poison91]

If you win a million dollars from poker, would you think about quitting poker and moving on to another job?

I live in argentina, if i win that... my life it would be resolved for 10 to 20 years.

That would be quite the "high life" for living in Argentina. Nice.

It will reduce the number of rejections, but I don't think it's going to break

 

[Matt_Burns88]

Definitely not. $1M would allow me to pay off my mortgage and live comfortably for a minimum of 3 years, whilst giving me the opportunity to have a real shot at being a professional poker player.

 

[claitonjr]

for sure... rs

 

[Yaviness]

I would probably secure my life and keep playing poker on the side like if it was a regular hobby.

 

[Dmitriy_rus7]

No, I wouldn't quit. Why should I quit if I win?

 

[bullkk]

I will not quit poker for any big money

 

[fernandovr]

No, I wouldn’t quit poker. I really enjoy playing, and winning that money would just give me more freedom to play calmly and enjoy the game even more

 

[bodil19982]

Well, I would definitely withdraw most of that amount. But I would play poker for myself.

He wouldn't abandon poker, but he would invest the money in another business, such as civil construction.

 

[ArmiSoo7]

I would quit job to, not only gambling. Would just start day, how I want, not to go to job and work for others. 😎

 

[Dushka]

Of course not. There is no such thing as too much money 🤑

 

[Kasztor007]

If I somehow won a million dollars — for example, by qualifying through satellites I would definitely try to reach a higher level. I’d invest in coaching from professional players and play more live tournaments. I’d allow myself to play slightly higher MTTs, but still within a reasonable range for my skill level — maybe between $10 and $100 buy-ins. I’d also dedicate much more time to studying and improving my game. I’d probably keep my regular job for a while, at least until I felt completely stable with poker both financially and mentally.

 

[sibkaz]

Poker is part of the mind...)

 

[KeyPatience]

No one can under your mentioned scenario!

yeah probably, i think if i win millions dollars i just will do streaming and make giveaways, chat with followers, just chilling time. it is good,cause you can play lovely poker and chat with good people, make them happy by giveaways, and maybe be part of some poker community. pressure to make money or bad beats just expire after life change money win, cause you won big cash and if you do righit discipline and bankroll managment everything will be fine.

 

[Alex Houngan]

I’m not sure I’d quit poker completely — I’d probably still play freerolls just for the fun of the game. As for work, I don’t think I’d stop working entirely; it’s good to keep the mind active and have a routine. But I’d definitely try to live with less stress and not chase after material things all the time. A million would be nice mainly for peace of mind, not for changing who I am.

 

[Stoekie]

No not quiting poker. Its to much fun.

 

[Kaaskop63]

Definitif stop

 

[Rosylly]

idk probably no, i would play sometimes for fun, maybe even live wsop, or EPT series (not highrollers tho)

But i certainly sure that i wouldn't lose those money like many crazy people with gumbling addiction...

 

[mala81]

Why quit when you finally have enough on your bankaccount?? 🤔 It seems to me it's better to quit playing poker when you don't have wnough money

 

[anbu210]

Nope. I don’t play poker just for the money — I genuinely enjoy the game, especially the numbers and math behind it. If I won a million dollars, I’d cash out 80% and keep around $200K as my poker bankroll. I’d stick to proper bankroll management, playing MTTs up to $500 buy-ins and cash games at $2/$5 or $5/$10 stakes to grow it steadily

 

[flitspaal]

if you win a million dollar grinding... continue
if it's a fluke, whole different situation

 

[margmilo44]

million isn't enough these days
