Jimako03 0 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 so I'm thinking I should cash out and run before my downswing or seriously consider poker as an income. Please look me up on your databases and whatnot, I'm 'Jimako10' on full tilt. I can't tell if I'm running well or just playing well. Honestly I'm not putting these up to show off, i just graduated college and I don't want to go to the real world. Anyone who plays sit n gos for a living, help me out with some insight.

RabidTortuga 0 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Get a job. 285 Sit n Go's is nothng. $1000 is less than nothing. You won't begint to have an idea of you're true ROI til around 1000 games. You can start to feel confident about a winrate after perhaps 3-5k games. Link to post Share on other sites

chgocubs99 0 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I was thinking about this:Anyone who's ever played for decent stakes in their lives has, in their poker youth, wondered, "Could I do this for a living?"The short answer is, if you are posting a new topic here to ask, you have no ****ing clue what you are getting yourself into, and you probably aren't that good.I LOL hard every time I think about winning a few hundred on my lunch break working a college job, and actually considering not going to back to work ever because poker was just so easy.LOL.Thats not to say you someday may not be able to become a pro, but that day is a long, long, LONG way away.

Poker Addict 0 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Don't listen to these haters... IF they had half the game you obviously do, they would have turned pro already. Jealousy is simply ugly. Just ugly. Link to post Share on other sites

It's the truest statement in this thread, and it needs to be emphasized.This is something you need to know, need to feel. When you are ready, you will know.There's probably a million factors to consider when trying to become an online poker pro. You need to have all of these sorted out. You don't have any of them sorted out.Good luck to you in your future play, however, and somewhere down the road, it may work out for you. For the vast majority of poker players, it doesn't.
