    Does anyone here still play live poker? I mean not in a friendly home game, but a professionally run no-limit cash game?

    I've gotten back into it after being away for some time. I can't believe how badly some people play.

    Poker is not dead

    There is always money in poker it's just that the amount of work required now just isn't worth it if you're starting off. Put 3 years effort into getting a good degree and your life prospects are infinitely better.

    No one makes good money playing 1/2 against shit players and if you were good enough you'd play higher.

    It's also easy to be like wow look how much these guys all suck without realising that you probably suck pretty bad yourself and aren't making that much money off those sucky players to begin with.

    Where did I mention which stakes I'm playing?

    I definitely don't suck. I don't track results as meticulously as I used to, however I'm fairly confident I'm beating the game for somewhere between $10 and $20/hour.

    Which is about what you'd earn at Burger King flipping burgers? Without the horrible variance.

    Sadly I can't take live poker seriously, yay play for a month and assume you're winning at that rate because it's a month before you realise that is about 1000 hands.

    That's not the point.
