Should a poster go pro ? :

1. 12 X 365 = 4,380

2. BTP contest . I was terrible this year and received 2,870 free play points.

3. Received 2,400 free play points in trivia this year.

4. After original sign up costs, it is 3000 points a year to re up .

5. Prices have been reduced to re up and 2014 is free to existing pro's.

6. This is the 2nd time since pro membership started several years ago that a year has been free.

7. Plenty of other contests to join for usually 6 points.

8. Some contests, like guess the draft position of Manti Teo and win 500 points are free.

9. High end contest each year as well.

10. Poker all over this site.

11. Store costs will not go up for 6 more months.

I probably missed something but it is clear that going pro is free money, if money was the reason you would not go pro.

Thanks SBR.
