No i don't think this to be true, i haven't seen any glamber claiming he have won poker without any negative bankroll and living off from the poker profit. I don't know what you like to show comparing poker against slot machines  Huh i don't find any realtion between those two.

So you think the real life poker professionals are just all scams and lies?

Everyone has been lied to?  Roll Eyes

Poker is a game where bets are against people, not the house.

For example: Some casinos are better than others - maybe you bump into a bunch of drunk guys who literally gamble and don't even try to beat you. In the long run - you always come out positive against these types. Pure gambling is the complete opposite. Yes you have some gamble and luck in poker just like in anything else you do in real life.

Then you get more complex players so you must be better, etc.

You might want to Google. Wink

Being a poker professional doesn't necessarily mean that they're making a living off of it. 

There are a few, but I can confidently say that well under 9% (my best guess is <1%) of poker players are able to make a living off of it.

A lot of the more known poker pros are staked and are actually in make-up. 
all kind game of gambling are less winners than losers , no matter it is poker (against people) or general casino games (against house edge) a losers are much more than winners.

i agree with dogedigital opinion/argument about a poker players who able to make a living from poker table, very less people can do it. i my self is a bad poker player who never earn good money from this game.

Yup like anything else in life!

Very funny this guy though - you can't be a pro unless you are living from it - the definition of a professional.

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.

why? because it is hard and we have a life!
learning poker is hard and takes time to become a good poker player and even then you are still gambling and taking risks with your money so there is still a chance of losing money.
all these other games like slots that you named are easy, and they don't require us to learn anything so we can have fun while we gamble.

But you also learn why you play poker - so it is a why not case.

But I understand if you like gambling in the dark it is personal preference.

you can't living by gambling especially in online poker even though you have good skill when play poker game but in only all condition are different. imo if you can win 9% from your bankroll isn't big enough because you can lose more than 9% in game poker.

I only play poker for fun I am not good enough to play poker and make a profit out of it. It is just not for me I am sure that there are many people other people who can make a profit out of poker but do not even know it yet.

I am telling honestly i won few time sin poker. I will not play this game regularly but when i played this game i won few times i was not loss much money here. According to me playing Dice game is better than that playing poker game. In poker at least our strategy will work but in Dice games nothing will work all depend on luck so there all loss only.

It is really hard for me to make fortune while playing poker online, i mostly do it to have fun when i have some extra time than i play poker but not to make some money for my living there, i don't believe that 9% of people are living just to play poker because there is prize pool is not have attractive amount only few and more less than.

Get your game girl
Where did you get those stats from ? Playing against the user instead of house is what traditional poker is all about. Doesn't mean it was always fair.Remember the scene from snatch ?

gambling is not a way to make a profit at all and not for anybody. even if you play different game than others like playing poker you can not still make a profit from gambling it is just too risky. but poker at least gives you a better chance if you are skilled to make a profit.

It's not easy to make a living by gambling on poker. 9% is really small though, only pro player who can do that and of course you need big bankroll.

It's not making a living obv, but over 160K micro-stakes cash game hands, I have a win rate of 15.3 BB/100. Like I said, micro-stakes. Slowly building up a comfortable roll to move up to small stakes.

I think most professional poker players can make a living if they are playing against other human opponents. But you can't really have an advantage against playing against an online casino.

There's a difference between +EV and making a living.

9% is believable for +EV, definitely not for making a living.
It's also about playing with the right people, you are the 9th worse player in the world, you will make money if you play against the other 8 that are even worse.

PokeStars is trying to fight back against "bum hunting"..  Wink

I'm gonna getcha!

Can't really bum hunt on Pokerstars, there are great players even at the 1cent/2cents tables.
What I was talking about is only applicable in live poker.

I'd say the real number is <1% tbh.  Even smaller nowadays with bad rake and bad player pools.
