120BB downswing? Pfft... had that yesterday too! I had a 250+BB downswing in January this year. [/ QUOTE ] I love it when full ring players talk about downswings. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Krishan |

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. [/ QUOTE ] 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 [/ QUOTE ] 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. |

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....

[ QUOTE ] 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. [/ QUOTE ] I hate it when I agree with you |

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. [/ QUOTE ] 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. |

[/ QUOTE ] 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. |

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 [/ QUOTE ] 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. |

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. |

Well even tho this reply isn't aimed at me, I understood your point perfectly. Thats why I made this comment [ QUOTE ] Do I sense jealousy and resentment in your post? A "man I wish I could do it but don't have the nerve to try" kinda attitude? [/ QUOTE ] |
