Are there any BMR people posting this forum who make money on poker on regular basis? Maybe semi-pro? Like you have a job and you cashout $25,000 a year? I think there must be around us i think maybe not $25,000 but maybe $5,000/$10,000 a year?

As much as i love poker, if i had to do it 8hrs a day (a job) id hate it, i make around 2-3k a year, nomally playing low limit around 10-20 hrs per week, some times go for a big tourn($100), but i cash out instead of going up limits, i play for fun the money is just a bonus, if play was good on practise tables then i might not have started to play real but am glad i did, free money rules (no tax)
I think there are a lot of people who make money by playing poker, also people here. I am € 5K up this year but not online, online I really suck and don't have the patience to play only the better hands.

you make profit live, but you suck playing inline because of lacking patience? online you can multitable, and you see hundreds of hands/hour and no need for patience then, but live you see 20-30 hands/hour, so patience is the most important thing. pretty paradox statement.

well i dont think that true pros need bankrollmob,since all the bonusses added are just as much as one big blind or one sng buy in for a real pro,i would say the best you will find here are a bove average players that make some real nice extra cash but i would be surprised if someone with a 100 k bankroll would use bankrollmob no deposit bonusses

valid point. i however feel the same about live poker and online poker. live i play very agressive. you have much better reads, so its "easier" to do id say. so when you want to push your opponents around, you will play much more active live in my oppininon.
online i play very patient and wait for good spots to win some. i tried to play superagressive each now and then, but it turned out people are much more in the mood to risk some when they dont have driven thru the half city to play a game... so patient waiting is needed.
i hope i make sense. if you try to read people, multitabling might be not a good idea btw
