No longer pro. Have any questions?
My 10 months as a pro poker player have now come to an end. Starting at the beginning of March, I get to go back to a different kind of grind as Gmail's newest and handsomest employee.
I am pretty psyched, and pretty burnt out on grinding poker for a living, so I did a gut check, cashed out all but 400BB for .5/1 and felt a giant wave of relaxation as I realized I could get back to treating poker as a challenging hobby and not an exhausting job. While I'm in this expansive mood, I thought I'd make myself available for any questions you guys might have about the "online professional poker player" experience or about whatever, including general trivia (my best friend and I just won a 7-team pub trivia thing last night where the second smallest team had 4 players). I won't be writing poems here, and let me just make two things clear: 1. I won't answer tax questions. 2. I made enough money to support a comfortable lifestyle (NorCal, single male, mid-20s) for almost a year. I'm not sharing my winrate. But other than that, feel free to kiss my ass in this thread or insult me or whatever. I AM THE KING OF THE WORLD. |

Re: No longer pro. Have any questions?
Congrats! Good luck with your new job. I don't think I would want to be an online poker pro (at least not in the big picture). Its good that you did it for a while and you learned a lot and interesting life experience. I can't imagine that you will give up poker cold turkey? btw how many hands did you play this past year?
Cheers, Pots |

Re: No longer pro. Have any questions?
Did you play all online or did you play some B&M?
Why or why not? If you played B&M, how did your win rate live compare to online? |

Hi BisonBison,
I thank you for leaving the poker world. It is nice that fish exist and it is even niceer to know that sharks can leave. |

I don't know. Here's one I do know: What was the name of the Nazi Party's weekly newspaper? |
