I certainly hope so!
Hello!
In response to the question "Can one make a living playing online poker?" -- I reluctantly have to admit that yes they can.
My boyfriend graduated with a Commerce degree concentrating in finance in April, and started playing online no limit texas hold em sit and go's as his career of choice. I was EXTREMELY skeptical at first....and for a long time, but now that it is almost a year, I can see that the skill to luck ratio is weighted heavily on skill; kinda like the song "..ya gotta know when to fold'em...". There are a lot of academic displines at play here; statistics, economics, finance, psychology, education, marketing, etc. that are only truly understood by the most educated and advanced players. And I feel that yes; one can make a living playing online poker.
BUT, I DO QUESTION THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE. I am a very understanding girlfriend, and I wonder if those people are able to "live" i.e. have girlfriends, wives, boyfriends, husbands, children, etc.....what about job security??? Applying for loans or mortgages??? Has anybody put any thought into this???????
Any response would be greatly appreciated.
