120BB downswing? Pfft... had that yesterday too! I had a 250+BB downswing in January this year.

I'd even say if you use the phrase "going pro" at all, you're probably not going to make a living trying to do it.

Yep. Anyone who cares if they are officially a pro or not probably won't make it. Anyone who cares if we think he is officially a pro or not definately won't make it.

1) A royal flush
2) A 120 BB downswing
3) Having your boat busted by river quads

I have had all these things happen multiple times, and I make more money than my work at a high-level company, but I'm nowhere near good enough to go pro. Maybe in like 5 years.

Re: Why people who \'go pro\' are the worst pro candidates...
 

Yeah with an attitude like yours you are correct. You could apply that to many walks of life. Whats wrong with chasing a dream? Worse comes to worse you go back to work. If you love your job I agree with you but if you hate it....

If you haven't encountered the following scenarios...

1) A royal flush
2) A 120 BB downswing
3) Having your boat busted by river quads

...then you havn't played nearly enough hands to even consider going pro.

Yeah, lets make it so you have to have some ridiculously stupid qualifier in order to pro.

Your post is weak and pointless.

Going pro rules.

I do think playing a lot non-pro for about a year is the way to go though. You'll have experianced a lot of [censored] and you're hourly should be high enough that it's not a worry.

I agree with this. I went after 6months and I wish I had waited another 6 as things would have been much easier and less stressful in the first year.

however as mentioned overall playing poker for a living is truly awesome for reasons that have nothing to do with poker.

You moron, the post isn't a guidline for going pro, it's a rant at just how early idiots think they can go pro. You read but you don't comprehend.

And to everyone going on about the 120BB being too low a figure, it's low because it's showing just how ealry some people are taking their shot and quiting their jobs. There have been posts by people who have NEVER had a downswing, because they've gone on one rush and assume they are simply some misunderstood poker prodigy.

All in the last ten days. Time to go pro! Unfortunately, PT says I'm only making 75 cents an hour, so I guess I'll keep working at it a little longer.

Stop assuming that the reverse is true!

If you chop a man's leg off he will be sad, but if you give him an extra disembodied leg it will not necessarily make him happy.

That was a pretty strange example, but I couldn't think of anything else.

Do I sense jealousy and resentment in your post?
