Re: Is Scott Fischman Pro or Not? (n/t)
 

i'd say so

Re: Is Scott Fischman Pro or Not? (n/t)
 

I think Fischman is a fine player who will do very well over the years. Yes, he is a gambler, but a very good one.

They always neglect to call him a pro, though. I was wondering if he still works a normal job day to day.

Re: Is Scott Fischman Pro or Not? (n/t)
 

No, he's just a poker player.

Re: Is Scott Fischman Pro or Not? (n/t)
 

Pro. Strictly tournaments and primarily online. He was featured in Cardplayer last month (the month before?) Apparently his sister handles his finances and he pays himself and hourly wage for his playing time - versus burning through his winnings.

Re: Is Scott Fischman Pro or Not? (n/t)
 

He plays dozens and dozens of hours a week and apparently has no other job (other than his Cardplayer column). Therefore, he most certainly is a pro.

Re: Is Scott Fischman Pro or Not? (n/t)
 

And strikes me as a very smart one too.

Re: Is Scott Fischman Pro or Not? (n/t)
 

he looks weird without sunglasses on though

Re: Is Scott Fischman Pro or Not? (n/t)
 

Nah, he's not a pro...

He doesnt have any other form of income (except for his poker related ventures), plays hours upon hours of poker every week, travels the world playing the biggest tournaments, and most likely filed his taxes as a "professional gambler".

Sure...lets have a debate about this.

That's awesome.

Re: Is Scott Fischman Pro or Not? (n/t)
 

I would say he's a pro now...a professional douchebag... He is a very talented player, especially online, but my rant comes from elsewhere. Here is a guy, before becoming a poker player, that used to be a poker DEALER...making a living off of tips from players. Now he earns a living playing the game, and preaching to others how NOT to tip a dealer. (was clearly written on his website) Talk about forgetting where you came from... If you chose to not tip, then fine...just don't go around telling others what to do with their money/winnings. Grade A douchebag if you ask me...

Re: Is Scott Fischman Pro or Not? (n/t)
 

That doesn't seem that bad..

How NOT to tip a dealer: *flips $1 toke to dealer and says, "There you go, stupid dealer!"*

Avoid this.

Wow, i like him even more now. I wonder what the backstory to that is?

Anyway, little nugget of info. He is bankrolled by several NY business men who pay him into all the big tourneys he plays.

Phill
