The No-Sarcasm-Allowed, "What Do You Do For a Living?" thread

[Razz_Donkey]

Solid post, Razz... Every honest post in here gets my kudos.

Razz, did you see The Road yet? Or was that tonight?

Thank you Capybara, Its an honest response, I don't pretend to be a big shot or anything, and to be honest poker is not too profitable online for me these days but I still get a boost from home games.

Haven't gone to see the Road yet, but got enough positive feedback that I will do so this weekend.

You can't really prohibit people from stating pro gambler on a hard core professional gambling site... I imagine a lot of us are like, well. Then we can't be sarcastic either...
Ok, Large Bet Placer since '07
Part time... whatever. I've been out of school for 10 years and haven't found a real job to be honest with you guys.
Flying Illini, you are a pretty cool guy! That's awesome you do that.

GC, it's a good point -- it's possible that a higher % than I thought ARE able to sustain themselves with just betting. But everyone knows that nearly all gamblers are ultimately losers, so I still say most people are just blowing smoke. If I'm wrong, then hats off to those who don't have to work.

As for Illini's post, I'm pretty sure that's a "sarcastic" response. Anyone who knows differently, let me know, for my final grading of this thread!

Hey Capy...great topic. Thanks for the props. As you may know, I do a bit of stand up 6 days a week on my podcast. So, we both know, you need to have an audience. I'm afraid I'm at the wrong site! Keep up the good work Cap.

You dare not transport such a creature you heathen. I shall break into your clandestine location with my band of bird brothers and free them all. You are a diabolical despot whose kingdom is full of little colorful bird slaves, catering to your every whim. I shall free them of your tyranny I promise you that! Pardon the parrots Illmatick....let them go!

Capy good thread. I'm seeing a lot of guys that make cash playing poker. I know guys who do it at card houses. I know if i find a good side or total, go and hammer it. I'm good for the month, and i can sit here and yap with you shmucks. I've found it pays more than crime too, so shit.

But i'm not sure that would be an 'occupation'

i think illini's serious. He's said before he has a group home for adult tards. I think that's pretty cool. Because, it sucks when they (or i could say we) get thrown in with the lowlifes.

The thing about being a pro gambler, is that you can't really part time it. You can sleep in, but you gotta be on top of things all day. It's kind of a full time gig. But you have to be a real degenerate. There doesn't seem to be a way to swoop in, nail bets, and skate. If you try, you get burned because you don't have a feel for the last minute line shifts and changes. So, it's an occupation, or it's just an expense.
