Are you looking to Play Poker for a Living?

Ever since Poker hit the airwaves and has been broadcasted on the television with the likes of the Travel Channel, ESPN in the states covering the WPT and the World Series of Poker the likes of all young people across college campuses everywhere and even those folks that tend to play at their local Brick and Mortar all of a sudden see a possibility that they too can join forces with the best players in the world and play poker for a living.  Is this the right attitude to have or not?  Well I say if you think you’ve got a shot at doing why not go for it , who am I to tell someone they shouldn’t pursue their dreams.  Realistically anyone in the world who has the time and money to invest in this game could potentially become a fantastic poker player.

The players that make a living off playing poker do so because they feel it is a much better job than what they could potentially be doing.  Sure who wouldn’t want to play poker for a living, you are able to set your own timetables and have absolutely no one to report to.  Except your wife if you get on a losing streak.  Even that being said it is not as easy as the guys on television make it look.  Take golf for an example, if you watch golf on television they make it look like the game is so easy and there is so much money involved.  What a grind that profession is.  I have been a professional golfer for about ten years now, playing the mini-tours and a few Canadian Tour events and I’ll be the first one to tell you that this game is the hardest game on the planet to succeed at.  I can compare it to poker in the sense that you have to constantly be mentally sharp at all times as soon as you lose your mental edge you might as well pack it in, because you’re done. For all of the young aspiring poker players out there I’ll say this: get your education, get a job and play poker as much as you can.  Once you have competed in a few tournaments and improved your game by playing online poker and you are starting to feel it than maybe consider going pro and doing nothing but playing poker.  Either way its gonna be a tough living but if you make it and stay on top of it, man oh man what a life.  Good luck to all those aspiring poker professionals.
