Could I make it as a poker pro? ive only played a few times but i think i can do it

Yeah but there's a real shortage of professional players

As a live poker pro - yes. Online, it was possible between 2006-2010.

WSOP is in a couple months. should i enter? I would play conservative till i hit the money ;) good plan?

106? Are you black?

Casino user here, dont waste your time. Most professionals end up as dealers who make decent money but still you could spend months in the red before realizing you have to sit at games with total retards to make any money.

If you want to win money at casinos play blackjack and count cards, its incredibly easy

Use Hi Lo method and a 5th grader can keep the true count

i am not. but i didnt finish the test, i just ended it like 36% of the way through cause i was at work
hmm

It's not worth it imo. Online poker has gotten extremely competitive nowadays and games are slowly dying because of solvers, bots and fish losing interest. If you're not already a pro then it's not worth it to get started. It will most likely take you at least a year of playing full time until you can make decent money. And that's if (a big if) you'll ever get good enough to do it for a living (most people won't).
> Im pretty good at online poker but its play money
This reads like a meme to anyone who's a winning poker player. Thinking that you can become a pro just because you can beat play money is literally like thinking you can become a pro gamer because you're better than your friends at video games. Even micro stakes are infinitely more competitive than play money. Deposit $50 on a site, play 20k hands of $0.01/$0.02 and see for yourself.

t. semi retired poker pro who has made close to $1MM from poker

Still is.
Lmao. On you go m8.

It's still beatable, but the amount of time you have to put in to get good enough to beat even just nl100 or midstakes mtts/sngs if you're starting from scratch is not worth it if you're from a wealthy country. Especially not when you factor in the fact that most people fail.
If you're high IQ and willing to work/study hard then your time is most likely worth more elsewhere.

It is possible on EOS poker king to make a killing the player are super fishy. I believe tron bet is coming out with golden as well, guaranteed to be even fishier due the the higher per capita of niggers that use tron for gambling.

Blackjack is the best

this, only way to make it as a professional poker player is to actively seek out losers, it's a 0 sum game and you're playing against a rake.

I used to play pro back in the day. The game is infinitely harder now and I can't make the same plays I used to back in the day.

I too thought I could do it. Let me help you out.

1) You're playing against the lowest of lowlifes.
2) Your brain doesn't get rewarded doing this shit because it's random and success is only visible in the long term.
3) You don't know if you run good or actually win until you dumped thousands into it.
4) You are literally studying for a fucking card game, instead you could learn to code, learn psychology, how to create a website, how to talk in front of people, how to fight, real world stuff. But you stick to a card game filled with boomers.
5) You're not having fun, you're sitting in front of the computer for 6 hours, doing stuff that isn't fun, you're actively decide not to do fun stuff (hero call, silly all-ins, crazy bluffs) and you're following the same algorithm that thousands of wannabe negreanus follow. In the end the house wins, always.

Don't get duped into this shit, it's full of collusion, degeneracy, boredom and it's dying. The next generation is gonna play hearthstone and fortnite for money.

As a former full time pro I can give my perspective:
1) absolutely true
2) I disagree. At least it feels/felt very rewarding for me to watch my balance increase because I outsmarted my opponents. On top of that, there's the dopamine rush from gambling (probably not very healthy though).
3) Some truth to this. But you should be starting out at the very lowest stakes and only move up after you're a significant winner over a large sample (e.g. 20k hands) and move down if you're losing. Strict bankroll management will keep you from losing too much while you're still learning. If you can't stick to strict bankroll management then you're probably too emotional for poker. You can use PT4/HM2 to track your results and luck.
4) 100% agree which is why I would advise against trying to go pro if you're just getting started. It's A LOT harder to even just be making 50k/year than it was 5 years ago.
5) I still really enjoy the game even years of playing. But I can understand why most people wouldn't. It's probably similar to being a pro trader or a pro chess player in that most people would find it boring/repetitive. You have to REALLY enjoy strategic thinking. The main downside is that online poker is very stressful and there's (almost) no social interaction. You get used to the swings to some extent, but huge losing streaks are still pretty painful. The biggest upside of being a pro online poker player is being your own boss and the freedom (you can travel while you work and decide your own hours).

Lmk if any of you guys have questions. I am/have been a winner at most games at either mid stakes or high stakes.

Vegas thread?

For me it's the Touchdown Roulette machine at Aria. I can grind that bitch for hours.

He didn't say 86.

Dude you are literally 15 years too late to the party.

Used to be a full time online MTT player and the poker economy is nothing like it used to be, however I do believe another poker boom will happen in five or so years. I highly doubt it will be anything like the previous boom but if bitcoin reaches six figure territory I could see tons of new people enter poker with their gains. By this point there should be several more states in the US that have legalized online poker and will likely merge player pools from other legal states. Would be a perfect storm if all that were to happen...
