10/20 players casual or pro?
Just wondering what % of the players whose main game is the 10/20 shorthand on party are professional. Professional is defined as living mostly on poker income, not haveing a 40 hr job in addition to poker and not being a student. The reason I'm excluding students is students tend to have less expenses than non-students.
I'm a high school teacher and I think I really love my job. But there is probably a point at which I'd give it up for money. (to return to later on) I don't know if this poll will help me or not. Thanks, Krishan |

One bump. I was going to post a joke but all the ones I found suck. So instead of a joke you got to read this. <font color="white"> I'm sorry </font>

Do you think there are many players who are pros at $10/$20?
More than a handful? |

Thats the case for me anyways. |

There are lots of turning pro threads from people that are students. Relatively fewer from people in established careers. I'm just trying to get a feel since the money at 10/20 seems to outperform most jobs. I appreciate those of you that responded. Krishan |

[/ QUOTE ] easy no I dont think so for the general poker playing populace.For the exceptional or especially driven yes.I think the number of players who play 8+tables daily to play poker for a living is a good amount but nowhere near as prevalent as this forum makes it out to be.TStone you obvioulsy are on the fasttrack -you got some natural skills obviously.It's fairly easy to 8-table but to do it for hours on end,5 days a week and not burn out is not as easy as everyone says it is.Many of the current crop of 8-tablers are not great players-many of them will burnout or bustout. |
