Working for a living is also a hard life to live, quite frankly working for somebody is the hardest and worse life to live!!!

As an elite pro player it is doable to make a living but its extremely difficult It takes a lot of hard work not only on the game but also u must work on urself Ur inner demons n ur weaknesses n conquer them

Gambler will enjoy for a period but will suffer for the vast majority of his lifebrJust enjoy the bet, don't put your dreams on it

i don't need to make 7 figures if i could sustain myself and my family i would be more than happy playing poker beats any kind of job so making a simple living would be great sadly it's not the case for me

Did it for a year I wasn’t pro But played amateur level 2/5 and advanced 5/10 tables Won a few tournaments But it’s a hard grind I do miss the excitement, but cards are cards
Comment from : @Skozak85

So you're more likely to be an nba player than a 7 figure poker player
Comment from : @redman958

I think if u live a humble lifestyle, maybe in a different country(lower taxes, etc) than its absolutly doable

20 - 100 people are making 7 figures ?!?!!brbrSo statistically no one 😂😂😂
Comment from : @godismygeneral

Been playing poker full time for 12 years I have a wife and 2 kids Playing poker for a living is a good time
Comment from : @seangrover702

You can only make money playing live because online is rigged for action unfortunately Tge trouble is travel costs and finding enough tournaments to play in your area if you wanted to make a living
Comment from : @cbb3062

20 in 100 people are not making 7 figures, less than 1 of people make 7 figures
Comment from : @ThePokerShark

Best way to do it is have a part time job, and play live on the side
Comment from : @_Chris_D_3004

It would be a lot easier if online poker was available all over the country vs only a few states and when I say online poker, I mean legitimate sites not apps or America’s conroom 😂
Comment from : @PokerJunkie83

i thought gambling is bad in the long run and there is also an element of luck to poker which makes it uncontrollable i think most poker players who are earning are actually sponsored

Is Phil making seven figures a year playing?
Comment from : @DatAceTho

I did it for 2 years around 2014 it was experience you really have to be super disciplined with money management brI know average players who crushed good players in the life cause they could manage the moneybrIts a very hard life to lead it seems like glory but you have to be able to handle losing weeks its all great when thousands are rolling in but can you handle a losing stretch All and all i lasted 2 years with paying all my bills off of poker and sustained eventually it got to the point going to play was laborous and i fell out of love with the game and life brI stepped away for a while and recently jumped back in last few years and have no desire to ever play full time like thatbrIt was fun im glad i got to experience it but it isnt really what most people think
Comment from : @robbyjacks667

I play usually 3-5 times a week 2-8 hours depending on day since I own a car lot and last 40 days I’m up $12k
Comment from : @Patburkelife

I know many, and I mean MANY complete idiots who work and have a fantastic life Rich? Maybe not But wife, kids, house, car, vacations, etc I don't know a single poker player who does it as a living who isn't grinding their ass off Can it be done? Yeah, anything can be done But I sure as hell wouldn't recommend it
Comment from : @wil318466

Which poker sites and apps you recommend??
Comment from : @LimitlessVibrations

All those things you listed barely exist with a corporate job working for the man In other words, all I really have to lose is my pride, and my God took that from me a while ago!
Comment from : @DarkKnightofThrones

If you up the statistics: It is likely that only around 30 of poker players are winners over the long term And only about 10 are significant winners (ie make a meaningful side income or can consider going probrTranslation When you walk into Poker Room full of 200 players…br20 players can make a living full time br40 players are just above break evenbr140 players are getting their asses kicked
Comment from : @delvega1975

The resume gap is rough
Comment from : @cial67

Are you one of those 20???
Comment from : @matth3822

7 Figs? its has to be like 3 or 4 Almost no one has made 7 figs 3 years in a row
Comment from : @hishga

Dont paly online because every software can cheat play low stake and get advantage of mistakes of other player be patient think rational and dont be greedy and you gonna make some money
Comment from : @thpoker4536

Nobody said it has to be easy Everyone’s talking about what a grind it is, and how hard it is, of course it’s a grind It’s stressful as all hell, and it requires self discipline that less than 01 of the population have But hey, it beats having a day job and a boss
Comment from : @daddylongleg605

It's not a successful career path for 99 of the folks that pursue it
Comment from : @imxploring

Super fun hobby, brutal way to make a living
Comment from : @asherreich9820

20 to 100 people in the WORLD making 7 figures? makes no sense, the world is bigger than this
Comment from : @pedrodias7839

20 to 100 people that's crazy Its really eye opening when a top player reveals info like this
Comment from : @pyrodaddy2854

Poker is a disgusting life, falsely befriending people to take their money, a zero sum game that benefits Casinos and only 10 of the Players 90 of Players are losers
Comment from : @bipolarpunt5721

I make a lot of money Money flows to me like a river
Comment from : @parafroome

I've tried grinding almost 10 hours daily tournament and satellites during the covid lockdown, by the day 3rd onwards my concentration started going down my liver burned by just sitting there constantly It's health management
Comment from : @ifeelhalfnaked484

Thanks for being Honest Phil it's, I believe only the top 5 are able to stay over the top and make it big and have a decent living
Comment from : @gregoryrozario1011

Get a trade!
Comment from : @Monojoe

I agree Phil I tried to go pro and lasted about 6 months Grinding 1-2 and 2-5 online to make 50 an hour after rake was just not worth it to me Now I focus on my construction business, make way more money and not nearly as much stress Now I play recreationaly and its much more enjoyable Definitely not for everyone, but if you're young and have the drive, go for it!
