Hi Rob,
I do not pay tax as i have a company registered here in the tax free zone in Dubai,all it is a name and PO box. However i still think it would be tax free in the UK as my friend there is a full time pro and declares all his winnings as gambling therefore does not pay tax,i think gordon brown is pushing hard to introduce a law to stop this kinda thing.
Secondly,I would say i do help others out,on my day off i go and work for free down at the local kennels ( arabs treat most animals terrible)as i have a dog here myself and hate any cruelty to pets, i donate $1000 a month to the charity. But i do see your point,the hours are ery unsocialable...i usually start playing at 10pm through til 6 am and therefore sleep during the day but fortunately i have understanding friends and i make sure i see them 2/3 times a week in the evening or afternoon. Also luckily as its summer here now (120 degrees with 90% humidity) not a lot of people are out and about and quite a few expats head back home to avoi... | | Read Entire Entry |

It would be nice making a living thru poker. I think that if I was good enough it would not be online. The amount of money these guys make on satellite tournys and then the wsop tournys is unbelievable. Plus if you sat on a comp. all day - after a while you become without any interaction with anyone.

I make money playing online poker but I am not to the level of truely being able to support myself solely playing poker. Now the amount of money that is wagered online is beyond mind boggling so living off online poker winnings can be done.

Id say you'd have to make about 175 a day, for 31 days, 12 months would be about 70K a year
No one in there right mind is going to play every day...
The average income needed for a "pro poker player" for bills, rent, etc. is said to be around $1400 a week.
Most of the players who play professionally play sit-n-gos ranging from the $50 to $1000 level as well as the several hundred dollar buy-in tournaments at the major sites.

I hope to turn into a 'full-time' player within the next 5 years. I would need to make around $1,000 per week. Until I do that consistently I will continue to work in a day-to-day job
Saying that, if you can win one $100 5-seat SnG a day, that would pretty much do the job!

I just started playing 3 1/2 months ago for real dough, but since then I've turned $50 into 3500 all on partypoker. Obviously I don't make a living through poker...BUT, I am an unemployed college student .
