How good you are in playing poker will determine how much you're going to winning from either playing in tournaments or cash games. Do you consider yourself good enough to the extent of making more money that you'd be considering quitting your job in order to focus on playing poker as a full time job?
 
No one should quit there job to play poker full time unless they have enough where they don't need to work. For all means if you have enough where you don't need to work then yes you should enjoy your life and possibly play poker full time. You would need at least 10 million dollars in your bank account for that to be a good idea. But hell, all power to you if you have that or more to put your job aside.
 
If I had to give up my job for something, I would do this, though I would always fear a bad day. I would also only do this if I could afford it and have retirement.
 
I am unemployed so there is no job to quit. I don't make enough income from poker to pay my bills. Its an extra source of revenue for me. My goal is one day to have enough cash flow from poker or my poker sites to do it full time.
 
Quitting my day job to play poker would be a bad move as I am not good enough to be able to play to earn a living. Anyone who considers doing this should be sure that it is feasible before they quit their job, I would never advise someone to do this.

There are even no guarantees that you are going to make enough to be able to cover your feeding should you decide to take playing poker quite seriously. So, it is not great to stop working because of that.
 
Me personally? Naw. Sure, like a lot of guys, I've had day dreams about being a professional gambler. But I've got a good paying, steady, if somewhat boring, day job that I can't see giving up. Particularly so since I'm not all that far away from retirement years. I look at poker, and other casino gambling, as some fun that can bring in a few bucks. I also do a little moonlighting writing that I sometimes find fun, so it is the same vein.

That said, I know a guy who did what we're talking about. I'm not his accountant or something, but he seems to be doing OK for himself. So, hey, maybe it is possible.

Well wishes in whatever life plans. (y)

That’s sound very nice in a nice way
Is it in a right content saying that
