I was a casual player, then got taken under the wing of a pro, made contacts, made more contacts. figured stuff out myself and here i am.any gambler that wants to go pro, u need enough savings so u can pay ur bills and rent up to 6 months so if it doesnt turn out well u can have time to look for a job. im in the fortunate position of owning my property due to hard work and saving but alot of pros out there 80-90 per cent have gambling problems so they just live day to day.over and out

Surely most players are self taught. Trying different strategies on new machines and being uber on the sklls must be the only way to survive long term, rather than waiting for info to be passed on, often in the death throes of usefulness. Doesn't seem to be the optimum time for going pro on the back of one good day, but good luck anyway. I admire people that can make it pay.

I think to go properly full-time pro you need have made at least enough money in hand to live on comfortably for at least a year. And you need to able see a continuation of that income at least into the medium-term future.

Many people though are casual 'pros' who make money but also receive a government subsidy. It also depends if you like your job. A crap job that you hate doesn't take much giving up.

I dunno whether TINY is the newest in a long line of trolls, but if s/he is genuine then all I can say is good luck and why give up a job during this economical climate? You had a good day, and...?

I'd continue with the Night Porter job and go out early doors before getting some shut eye for the next night of graft. Fruits are very nice second income. A second income which in turn will put some money in your arse pocket for either a) going full time, or b) cover redundancy.

It all depends how prudent you are.

most ( if they admit it ) like myself , 95% of the time have to be given info ,,,,,,,, it's rare to truly discover something of real financial worth by yourself .


but self taught or not ,,,,,,,,,,,, uber skills / knowledge / your stature/place on the info chain aint worth a hill of beans if you dont possess the most important attributes .

respect for other players ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and ,,,,,, of course ,,,,,,,, my favourite word.


good luck with the respect thing TINY-MCFINY ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, your off to a great start in here :P :lol: :P

I am mostly self taught with a few pointers back in my teens. All goes down to how likeable you are - and how much you respect others.
Respect is everything - and if you've got no respect i truly hope you fail.

I have nothing but admiration for those playing full time. Myself i've got a reasonable job (retail management) and used to see fruits as an excellent 2nd income.
However 3 years ago internet poker easily took over my machine earnings - and now fruits are a once or twice a week fun thing. Having said that i still expect to make money - and 9 out of 10 times i will.
