dirty little secret....
POKER ISNT PROFITABLE almost anyone who can beat poker can make more doing something else. LONG TERM, PROFESSIONAL POKER, is the last resting place of people with serious issues which prevent them from working with others. some people make a recovery from their condition but by then they have been out of society for so long they get trapped in poker. Online and live are no different in this regard. almost no-one is maximizing their potential by playing poker.
Online did allow some specialists to make a living for a while, multitabling robots, i mean they really just had an office job. ive done both, its an office job. now that its gone these guys dont have the ability to survive
and thats a good thing. there are higher paying, less stressful, office jobs. very few are gonna want to do what is really necessary...learning multiple games, playing live and online and live again and then online, counting cards, finding angles in sportsbetting,
true advantage play. always chasing an overlay. all this whining is laughable...wahhhh i cant play online anymore WAHHHHHH. real professional never noticed the difference, we were always doing both, and much more. if they shut down the commerce tomorrow i wouldnt notice, i cant afford to, someone is pitching cards somewhere.
you wont hear this anywhere else because everyone is trying to sell something. it starts with selling a dream. telling the truth is bad for book sales and training site memberships.
