So I’m a disillusioned suicidal wagie and hate my life, I want to chase my dreams and be a professional poker player.
How hard would it be? I have 100k savings that could be my bankroll. I live in the Midwest right now and it’s shit, I want to move to Montreal because they have a lot of casinos and tourists and it’s a incredible city that’s cheap to live in.
Assuming I just grind 1/2 and learn to keep my emotions in check and don’t go on tilt how viable is this plan? I would only need like to make like $1000 a month honestly to live comfortably. I’m a single neet so really only need 500 for rent and the rest on takeout (there’s really good Schwarma and smoked meat)
What if I just play ultra conservative on 1/2 games?

believe it or not pro poker requires great amounts of things like competence, intelligence, discipline, hard work, consistency, etc. someone who is a disillusioned suicidal wagie who hates his life is not going to do well. if you're on this board and can't figure out a better use for 100k yngmi, and def not by playing poker.
Assuming I literally only bet top hands I don’t see how I could lose money although I might go crazy just grinding all day for like $50

online games aren't soft anymore, live games too slow and you have to pay rake and time. no. back in the good days of online poker you could just multitable low stakes playing abc breakeven poker and earn hella rakeback. these days even microstakes games like .10/.25 are third worlders playing seriously and gto bots. it's fucked
I have good news for you, if you had half a brain you would realize that poker is a thing where you can scale up with success frictionlessly. If you want to start a mcdonalds you have to put in millions before your first sale, if your business is doing well and you want to take the next step up, you still need to invest a lot of retained earnings or borrow money. However with poker if you are doing too well at a certain level all you need to do is click the tables one level up. Don't even have to quit your job or anything, just put in the hours on the weekend or whatever and take a serious look at what you have made over 100 or 1000 hours.

if you have 100k you could stake cake at 60% and make 60k a year. that would give you 1k for living and 4 a month to lose at poker since im sure you suck

I do not like this pepe, it is very unsettling.
You'll have greater success writing a song about poker (and losing all your money) than you will actually playing poker.
it's incredibly challenging. the fact that you're talking about physical casinos to grind in, and not online, already shows me enough i need to know - you stand ZERO chance.
online players can play live. live players cannot compete with online players that are putting in 10-100x the hands played they are.
also your bankroll is irrelevant. poker is not about increasing your bankroll, it's about increasing your skill level. your bankroll will have no choice but to go up once your skill does. the way you start poker is either freerolls or $100, that's all you need to make a fortune as starting capital.
your bankroll should be increasing from your poker wins, not from bringing in outside capital.
>But I do know that online poker is BS.
no, shitty poker player cope - they will blame anything but themselves. online poker is fine

Play in Texas and Alberta because all the oil guys can't play for shit and are easy pickings.

what about angle shooting in video poker? like getting free drinks while praying in hebrew or something

pls op remember the Poker at the end of the day has a huge element of luck. you could be the best poker player in the world. all that means is that you have a slightly better than 50% chance of winning.
This means over a long enough time scale no matter how good you are you will end up deep in the negative. the question then becomes how deep is your bankroll, and will it sustain you over enough time to get you out of the deep pocket. There is a real reason almost all professionals end up broke over 20-30 years. They just get themselves into a hole and don't have the funds to get out.
