I play poker online for a living. Here's how it all got started.I was a software engineer and along came the dotcom bust....
Without the ability to relocate, I was forced to take a job in a plastics factory that was straight from hell. Since this was a thermoforming company, the air was bad, and the wages worse. The place was dark and depressing and the equipment was held together with spit and bailing wire. Half the people didn't speak english, and the other half were on parole. Need I say more?
I had been playing poker online for about six months, and was starting to reach some of my goals. Home sick one day, I was passing the time playing poker when I suddenly realized that I had made more in 4 hours than I made at the factory in a week.
The following Sunday I won $1,040.00 in a sit and go tournament. That was almost one month's take home pay. Needless to say, I was hooked.
Shortly after that, I became very sick. I had every test in the book and called a halt to it when exploritory surgery came up. Turns out I needed to change my diet and my job. I just couldn't go back. That was about nine months ago, and I am still going stronge.
Now I spend my days playing poker and making more than I did at the factory. But then, that's not hard to do. I am looking for friends to talk earning a living with online poker with.
In the last nine months I've learned a ton about earning a living playing online. Most of the players who earn their living online won't tell you that's what they do, and have no big name. I will use my blog to post some of my discoveries regarding earning a living with online poker.
