Can it be done

[Boobie Lover]

For a player to make a living they have to play on the big sites. The Prima network is the home of the biggest cash games on the net (watch mahatma sometime), but the majority of the mid-high limit games, are basically non existent on that network.

I would say the only poker room that offers rakeback that has some game selection is UB

Don't forget about Party Poker!!!!!

You just gotta know where to look.

just to put in my 2 cents...

i had this same idea about a year ago and went full blast at poker, as a profession. i quit my job that paid me enough to pay my bills and have a decent amount of spending cash afterwards...... and ive never regretted anything more. after about 2 months of playing poker 40 hours a week i was absolutely washed up on the "fun part" of poker. i usually made enough to cover about what i was making with my job... but the key word is usually. there were at least 3 or 4 months out of that year where i either had losing months or not enough to cover my bills. poker instantly went from being something i loved to do to something i had to do.

when your rent money is riding on that TPTK against a couple of rags and they hit runner-runner you want to throw up repeatedly. since then i have gone back to the working life and im glad i did. i probably play poker once every other week now... so its pretty much lost its appeal to me. if you really enjoy poker... i wouldnt recommend it.... unless you can make tons of cash.

edit:
lol i got a negative reputation hit for this post.. awesome

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Poker is a great SECOND job.

P.S. junYUN - I gave you a positive hit for that post, so that should make up for quite a few negative hits... My post count gives me quite a bit of power.
