        I have lived exclusively off poker and sports since 1987. Middle-class Southern California beach lifestyle, although the wife works and carries her half.

          If you disagree with my opinions, fine then. You can't even give advice.

              How many people with real jobs make anywhere near that amount? Maybe 3% of the population at most... Anyone who can subsist off their winnings is by definition of a pro. I played poker exclusively for a living for almost 2 years and didn't make six figures, and it was a comfortable living for me. Then again I don't have a nasty coke habit or pay child support for 30 children...

                  if you spend a paycheck instead of earning a paycheck from gambling, are you considered a pro?

                        There is a point to be made here.


                        Many here would pay $2,000 for that ass whereas a smart shopper/professional gambler will find it for $20, and in some cases, for free.

                              Fishhead is a true professional and one of the best Advantage Players in the industry.
                              The are many valuable lessons that can be learned from him, especially if you have
                              aspirations to make gambling a full time occupation.

                                Agreed. I used the term "king" too loosely.

                                  There all called trout's they can't make it betting so they try to sell
                                  there plays. When they call I just say if your plays are so good why
                                  don't you just bet them to make money.

                                    Tout's are not professional gamblers. They are professional scumbags (mostly).
