In this sense, the boom is long since over. Sponsorship dollars for poker players are scant these days.

Back in the day they had cash sponsorship, where now it seems like they pay in things like free tournament buy-ins, or a percentage of the rake in tournaments or games the players advertise. Being a poker pro nowadays is basically like working some shitty sales commission job.

I love it when people are so salty when they have failed at something others have succeeded in lol.

To op don't think that's public information or that they can share it.

My comment was meant to be taken satirically rather than personally critical. But go off king

Speaking as someone who has played poker for a living since 2008, being a poker pro is like working some shitty sales commission job, except that in sales your income is always positive-definite.

I listened to Rampage on the Nick Vertucci Podcast recently (don't judge me, please) and I was surprised to hear him say that WPT Global pays him six figures per year. Given that he is one of the most popular vloggers, I would guess that is far more than the average pro makes.

This stupid thread is going to keep showing up in my control panel as unread until somebody posts to it.
