Hey guys, ex cash pro here.
This thread has been so insightful. Thank you all for your input!
As a cash game grinder, you can have your massive downswings, 30, 50, rarely even 100 buy-ins deep.
But variance seems to be a lot less.
I quit this life - as a cash pro -, because: ... hm, let me think actually. I was too bored of this life: sitting in front of a
computer clicking buttons, creating .... NOTHING!
And then I stopped winning.
Or maybe it was the other way around.
Hard to tell afterwards.
But I was making steady 3-5k per month net income which in Europe was 10 years ago much better than
a gradutate job.
But that was an online cash game grinder existence with at least 50x more hands than live.
Not a live MTT grinder existence.
So interesting.
You know: You hear these songs about Fedor Holz and other lucky guys, but - although they are
undoubtedly very skilled - they are also very lucky.
But carry on, please. This was just a break insight from the cash game front. Hope this helped a bit.
I go buy some more popcorn.
