Posted by godlike666: I agree to be a pro you must be a good solid player doesn't matter how big your bankroll is.However, give me 10k and my carreer is starting.

Of course, the only criteria for being a pro must be that you make your living out of it. The bankroll size does not count. If you make 100 bucks a day and that is enough for all your expences, I would say you are a pro. Maybe not the best but anyway...........

Sometimes I take a look at high limit tables, people sitting there with $ 10.000, but I noticed that they are sometimes call everything.... But then again there are of course some bored miljonairs who like to play poker

Same opinion here, if you earn a decent living with poker (1500€+ a month) your a pro. Those winnings should be consistant offcource, don't quit your job becouse you made 1500 with poker in a month once
Would'nt it be nice regular K+ a week for sitting in the comfort of ya home playing cards 8 hrs a day, Reports , tips i get from the online pros are read 8+ poker books build a bankroll from scratch over a yr year and push the made hands and fold the crap,disipline and find a site that accomadates ya needs, Medium site with gd players will make ya more money than site with large traffic, The hard part is sticking to the plan, need to get that bankroll to say 5 k to pull an ok wage,
DANG the problem I have is sticking to the plan, i get suxed out at larger tables , when i shouldnt even be there

Even the pros will suffer the variance. So there will be no regular income. Results will vary from week to week.
And playing way above ones limits is an invitation for desaster. 1-2 bad beats or setups and a lot of the bankroll is gone.

Whats the average profit a month when you thinking ''i stop working my job''??
For example you make $6000 a month with online poker, do you quit your job? I wud not do it for sure I think when making $10000 a month for 3 years i wud maybe thinking about quitin my job, but not sure

I think that when I would make 4 / 5K a month I won't quit my job but I would definitely not work more then 20 hours a week But hey that's only a dream
i mean that is proffesionalism too
