I don't think it is 9% of all poker players who can earn enough money to live a decent life out of it. It is most likely 9% of the very best pro poker players who can do it instead.
Don't kid yourself, poker is very popular game with millions of people playing everyday. If you think you can beat most of them the go ahead, try to be pro poker player. I know I can't.

I don't agree with his statement either. 9% sounds way way too high considering the amount of millions of poker players around the world. Maybe its less than 1% or 0.1%

actually the number as I have heard is really close to 10% when we are talking about profitable players
but these profitable players may not be living from poker . maybe they are making 200$ a month in this case they are good and they are profitable but they are not living from it

Why do u say it's impossible to make a living out of poker? Are u kidding me? Cheesy

Go to 2+2 forum or any other poker related forum and you will see hundreds of topics of people journeys that are actually playing poker for living. I'm having coach by myself and I can honestly say I'm surely on the way to make my living out of poker. People are still uneducated nowadays, in the 21.st century..
Another example is go to twitch.com and go to the poker section, all of those streamers there are hundred thousands in profits (u can check it in their bio)..

You can make profit with gambling but the most are not doing this for sure because its luck you need and the most here will not have that.
Poker is played with tactics but its still based on luck.

Honestly speaking if you are playing against the live players online or offline you can use your skill and strategy and win games but playing against the house or casino then 99% you will be in loss, i play with live players in fortunejack and i am in profit.

it's still luck needed even you play player vs player , i would call 50% skill and 50% luck. so i doubt there is more poker winner than loser. due the fact every kind of gambling are about luck no matter it's poker or house edge platform. i myself not getting any profit for playing poker. one day i won 2btc and another day i lost 3btc.

I think not only luck and skills are need also you need to be satisfied what you had and dont be greedy because this is the reason why people are still lossing their bitcoin because of greediness.. so if you are willing to make a profit you have all of this things..
skills luck dont greedy and be satisfied..

greedy is part of skills in my opinion , how we control our desire to win more and more i called it as a skill so 50% pure luck and the rest are skills , i don't believe things that determine our winning in poker mostly are because of skill , there is luck still have take part more than any other things.

You can of course make a lot of money with gambling, I really have no doubt about that you can make nice profits with poker but its difficult.
Its also depending on the luck you have.

You never know what you can win with it and that is the problem of gambling you also dont know from before what you are going to win and that is the problem.
And if you want to win with gambling you have to be really lucky otherwise it will be not possible for you.

I can play poker but I think that I am not good enough to make a living out of it. I just play for fun and just with friends not at the casino with peole when I play poker it is about having a great time. So when it is serious about money it ruins it a bit for me.

Same with me, I playing poker just for enjoying my time to meet friends and play with them and if about the profit if got some profit then i will play again with that profit and withdraw the money i've deposit.

I do not gamble at all these days because the fact is that gambling is just very difficult to do if you ask me.
I gamble sometimes and with poker there is sometimes profit but most of the times still not.

Around 9% of poker players can make a living doing this.

Why even touch slot machines? Bet against a person not the house!

Become a professional poker player and travel anywhere.

I haven't made any money, what so ever, after playing poker. It has always ended in loss after loss. I urge all gamblers out there to control their longings and remember that their money is on the line.

I AM A SCAMMER

I used to play local physical tournaments in my home town and did pretty good several times, but I feel like when ever I play online I end up loosing everything. You have a lot more competition online (a world of people) and it can be tough to end up positive. It sounds easier than it is, even just playing the pot odds, you can still loose it all in the end.

Win one big hand per hour.. ;P

Yes even i too play in Fortunejack and it will work out i made some decent profit not huge profit.

I agree with both Luck and strategy not 50 - 50 it may luck 80 percent and strategy 20 percent will work in poker game that too normal players but for experience player can work out this 50 - 50. I am not that much experience in this game but it is good game to make some money.

I never played a lot of poker because I think its still wasting time, I played it a couple times and lost the most times.
Maybe its because I'm not good so that can be the point..

I like playing poker but I am not that good in it. Playing for money is just not for me I think that I could not handle the pressure and I would easily lose without a doubt. So I just keep playing poker for the fun.
