job + poker = more money than no job + poker

some people wanna make bank, some wanna do as little as possible and still live well

this is in addition to considerations like resume gaps, liking your job, added security, benefits, work socialization, starting a career to eventually transition out of poker, etc

lol

it's all just part of the show.. an artistic expression.. you can't just rip your balls off and watch them sit there.

I didn't want to quit my job as I already have a career going for 11 years where I get paid pretty good. When I'm out of a job it can be pretty hard to go back to the same level and explain people why I was out of the business for X years. Also I like the change, Poker can isolate you from the rest of the world but I do think I could do it full-time if I really made big bucks.

I started playing Poker as Semi-pro 1-1-2009. If I would make 500K+, sure I'll do it full-time for a couple of years. Now it's just a better salary but nothing huge so I rather do it 50/50 for the change and the idea I can still hit the lucky one-timer.

I'm getting SNE by playing 26 hours a week, I work 24 hours a week so it's pretty doable. When I worked full-time (which was 36 hours) I played 10 hours poker each week for sure, so I only had to add 4 hours a week and get to SNE. Other people need more, or way less hours a week to get to SNE or just forget about sleep. There are many ways to get to SNE ;-)

i can think of a few at the 2-4 FR game, they dont crush it but they win and i would assume they are going to be SNE by how often I am playing with them

no 900k milestone

suggestion:monthly 100k (you can do it for 200/300k but only 1 person gets there each month) milestone bonus, like everytime you get to 100k in 1 month, it should be like 50k fpps for $2500 or something...call it the month supernova bonus or something...theres definetely a benefit for PStars too because it will cause some people to amp up their play each month

could just PTR top winners at said stakes

sorry but what is ptr and how i can to it

thank you for the answer i really appreciate

oups what is ptr and how can i do it

pokertableratings.com

check on the top winner section

this is just gonna end up as a freeroll for the vast majority of people

thank you very much for the information

I am planning to do it next year, but is it worth it? I am planning to play 12 tables of 200NL 6max and FR. Will I make more on FTP if i play the same amount of hands + 27% rakeback? or SNE on pokerstars? Some say the games on FTP are easier. Thoughts? Thanks

I don't know the answer, but be sure to include the new FTP Black Card promotion into your calculations. It looks like their answer to SNE.

you'll get over 50% rakeback with SNE... but it's something like 2mill hands at 200nl to reach it, i believe? at just 12 tables it would take forever.
