I'm seriously considering taking up poker as a career.
 
Anyone here make a decent wage playing poker?

CyberTraffic 03-15-2004 10:26 PM

The guy who owns 24hpoker (the software that I was trying to have a tourney under) made it big doing that.

World famous shit from Sweden, I hear.

You thinking about doing the real big tournies like you see on ESPN, or just raking it in daily online?

4Pics 03-15-2004 10:27 PM

Yeah, I actually win enough even on small tables to live decently. Just don't have time to play them like I want.

Oh, the big tables are a goal of course. I'm working on cleaning up my n/l game (pretty decent as is), I was playing mainly limit and I'm not scared of anyone on that game. Played n/l with a couple of guys that buy in to the WSOP events and pretty much ran them all over the table.

But speaking of online, party poker has a tourney every week now and first place runs around $70,000. One of those from time to time would pad the income pretty good by itself. :winkwink:

I'll check it out. How many entries do you normally get in a good multi-table tourney?

Go for it man. I was going to claim my occupation as a professional gambler a couple years ago (I am 22 now), just to see if the government would contact me to see what the fuck was up. Never happened though.

Good luck. :thumbsup

Good Luck to your "new career".

I very rarely lose at poker.

To me it's the Game that's the fix, regardless of the money.

If you think that you've got it in you then you should give it a try.


Get into small games to begin with and work on a bankroll.

Good luck.

:thumbsup

If you can make it to the WPT....and make it to the final table..

hershie 03-15-2004 10:44 PM

At the Webmaster Poker Tourney at Internext, the dealer at my first table was a professional poker player (he was doing the organizer a favor dealing that night). He says he makes tens of millions most years just by playing at the Bellagio at nights (besides the big tourneys he enters). There is a huge amount of "whales" that fly to Vegas and don't mind losing a few hundred grand or more at a sitting just so they can say they tested their mettle against the pros and so they have a good time and a great story to take back to their friends how they played against those guys on TV at the WOrld Series of Poker... Its a big business apparently getting in games at Bellagio with big bankroll suckers.

Bankroll isn't a problem. They don't have huge games locally and I can play whatever online. I pulled out $10,000 on my first $100 deposit last year in a few months playing while I was learning the game. This kind of stuff is a blast, and I love outplaying people as well. Money is just a fantastic benefit of being good.

I always have my hands in 5 or 6 things. But poker pays more per hour than anything else I do when I have time to play. :glugglug

Edit: Not to mention it's fucking fun!

Phoenix 03-15-2004 11:42 PM

say you could play 3-4 game a night...how much does the average game cost?

like 10 bucks...a tourney or is it real money you are betting with.
i might try my hand..i seem to get consistent results..and anytime i go out it is because i am taking a larger then necessary risk

depends what limit tables you play,how many hands per hour.



tournamnets is a whole different thing. if your good then enter 1 table tournamnets and place 1st, 2nd, or 3rd to win your money back + some more

Mr. Marks 03-15-2004 11:54 PM

Be careful, you win some. You'll lose a lot.

Most places have tourneys from 50 cents to $300 to buy in.

Phoenix 03-16-2004 12:03 AM

SomeCreep 03-16-2004 12:08 AM

how much profit are you making per month off gambling?

b00bies 03-16-2004 12:09 AM

made a living for a few years off poker online and local casino.
won about 150 tourneys throughout those years, most online, best win was 100k tourney at royalvegaspoker.com, won 30k for first.

I loved playing the 1/2, 2/4 tables, on good days about 500-600$
slower days when theres 0 luck on my side did about 200-300$

still play every now and then but using the money ive earned on other things now

Don't have a solid month of play to use as an example. On limit when I play usually end up $500 to $1500 ahead in a 1 to 10 hour session. That's on a 5/10 table. No limit been averaging around $250 an hour on the small buy in table.

Phoenix 03-16-2004 12:12 AM

i have only been playing no limit

i played a few other games as well..it is all the same game basically.


but id like to play some small tables first..see what goes on...i like the idea of 10 in a tourney and the top 3 players win..i have been hitting top 20 alot with over 100 players in tourneys..and quite a few top tens

Limit is definately different in terms of strategy. Pot odds are a huge factor but if you're already assesing risk you should be golden.
