    Well most guys don’t have much I wish I could do it with $3000


    At 15,000 you probably have to bet 500 a game I asked way too much of a percentage but you would have no choice

    500 too much for me as a minimum. I will never be a professional gambler.
    I accept my limits

    That's what I do.
    But I certainly don't earn a living from it.
    It doesn't pay rent

    I work 30 hours a week, gamble the rest of the time
    You don't want to do what I'm doing

    Yes I'm reinvesting @ a B~Book (BetPhoenix) Feb 1st trying to utilize their max 100% cash bonus. They bumped me up to 1k max bets. Rosie is a solid account manager there, which I would recommend. NFL playoffs netted me a 2k red figure & I cut my losses. I just didn't have a good feel for who was advancing so I collected my entire balance @ BM so I wouldn't chase.

    Don’t do it

    Won 60k in 2/5 Pot limit Omaha in 3 months

    Quit job to travel and play poker

    6 months later had lost 25k of it taking shots at high stakes 10/25 PLO and another 5-10k travel/living expenses

    Gambling after awhile is depressing, even when winning. Nobody to come home to, just numbing.

    Get a career, gambling side hobby at most. Never a way to pay bills AND be happy.

I think I am right I did the math in my head waiting for my lunch order, LOL
    Why assume 1%? 5% is reasonable. You could also be a pro making 30k/year.

    This. Gotta live smart, thrifty & sometimes frugal though with 30k or lower in yearly profits. Throw in a 3-4 months of working for the man for tax purposes & a little extra income & it's a doable living situation in some parts of the Country.

    I love the freedom & the opportunity to make money when I want & how I want without the "MAN' telling me how & when to do it.

    depends on where you are for sure about income wanted or needed. I think a 1 or 2% true edge is more realistic especially for someone just starting as a pro and it probably can build up from there.
