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

1) A royal flush 2) A 120 BB downswing 3) Having your boat busted by river quads I have done all of these in the last 4 days. Was the first time Ive ever lost set over set that turned into quads I think. I certainly don't recall having ever been on the receiving end of that before, although I do remember dishing it out twice, once runner runner style (in about 150k hands online). [/ QUOTE ] |

If you start a post in which you tell people you want to go pro AND ask for playing advice you just might be total moron. [/ QUOTE ] People are harping on the 120 BB thing, but I think this is a good point. 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. |

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. |

Re: Why people who \'go pro\' are the worst pro candidates...
Royal Flush? Pfft.. had one yesterday, flopped it.
120BB downswing? Pfft... had that yesterday too! I had a 250+BB downswing in January this year. Boat busted by river quads? It's happened more than once. Just didn't happen yesterday. Although it wouldn't have surprised me. In all seriousness. I think the average 18-24 year old cannot handle being a pro poker player. I think it takes more discipline than working for the man. I've read blogs and journals about the average 18 year old playing $3/6 for a living because they can make more than minimum wage. Frankly, I'd rather do real work. The pros that interest me are the ones that have to support families, pay a mortgage, have bills. Those are the real pros. |

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. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, lets make it so you have to have some ridiculously stupid qualifier in order to pro. Your post is weak and pointless. |

Re: Why people who \'go pro\' are the worst pro candidates...
I had been playing poker for a living for six months before getting my first royal. I've had my boats busted by quads, but never on the river(edit: that I can remember). I think your requirements need fixing.
