Message: [QUOTE="LukeSilver, post: 6957151, member: 59099"] So it would be ill advised for me to give information out which could potentially identify my screen names. purely because responsible gambling legislation is a big thing in the United Kingdom and I have mentioned been autistic on these forums. I am not saying a site finding out that I am autistic would lead to a ban just that I dont know if it could so i am careful with that. expanding on things though a lot of making decent money is about game selection. For example I am not sure if I could beat $10 nl cash on stars. Cash games online are nortoriously difficult compared to all other formats. The standard on stars has been the second toughest standard I have come across online behind only ACR. So It may well be possible that many better players then me have given up due to failing to beat $5 NL on ACR. hard for me to say that because I have not touched cash on ACR. so if you gave me a $500 bankroll I could play and struggle to beat $5 games on ACR or I could go and play dons or spin and goes on party or just small stake 5 and 10 mtts and grind up the roll with ease. Times of day can make a difference to for example if your playing on party you can have a harder time at $1 spin and goes at the wrong time then you would have at $10 spin and goes at the right time. Now I mean this would be extreme but if you picked the best time for the $10 and worst time for $1 would not be unrealistic. focus on the reg/rec ratio in any games you play. Currently I am on zero hour contracts with a few work places and play online poker so I am kind of a fusion between doing poker for a living and on the side etc. I think there are several challenges to the future of online poker, 1. sites changing the rake structure games and promotions and this is continiously getting worse for the player 2. government legislation around responsible gambling popping up in multiple places and putting limits on how you can gamble 3. the economy and inflation this is happening everywhere worse in some places then others 4. Bots I would probably say you could go from 4 to 1 for order of biggest threats if you want to do this for a living I fear eventually bots will kill it, but one thing I have noticed over the years is it is getting harder and harder to make the same amount, but due to inflation that amount does not go as far. if you can make 30k a year right now the likelihood is that you will be able to make 25k a year or less in 5 years time but wages and inflation have gone up. One would hope poker winnings would eventually rise with inflation but this has yet to be the case I have never seen that yet. I am not going to tell you that only 1 in 100,000 or 1 in 50000 people would be able to make a living from online poker if they put in reasonable effort as it is today. I would strongly expect that the figure would exceed 30% possibly even 50% just most people dont take it seriously or put in the effort. However I cannot rule out that in the future with all the difficulties the industry faces it may well be the case that only 1 in 50000 can make a living from the game with a serious effort. Of course if your future looks likely to be been called stupid and a ret**** whilst working a min wage job that a trained chimp could do, and you know that this work will always be readily available to you even if you were to take 5/10 years out to play poker professionaly then why the hell not go for it.
