I dont believe many people win enough money for not work, but there are people that win some money. If you have a big bankroll you can win money as you can cover the losses easily.

But it's true! They play in Tehas Hold'em Poker in various poker-rooms.
Some of 'em won huge Jackpots or lottery. It's gambling too.

I have been making a fair amount on Holdem, started playing decent money games in June (1/2, 2/4 tables), made $2500 that month, $1500 in July and $2200 in August. So far this month I am even but if I can manage a $2000 profit a month I think a person could live off that. My tip is to play when its busy and look for very loose tables.

Update: September -$1500

So, Admin, you the person who lives for game money?

It is very hard to make a living from gambling. Some people are just good, like admin. But only 5% can win and live from that.

I dont live from gambling wins, but I did buy a few nice things.... If i moved to Thailand and managed to keep my poker profit above $2000 a month I think I could live off that. But remember I am only in my 4th month of serious poker play so I still might be riding lady luck, if I can maintain it for 1 year I think I can call it skill, lets hope 

2000$ per month, that is great. What is your starting bank admin ?

I average 500$ per month playing NL Holdem Sit&Go

I start with around $1000, I like to play 3 tables at the same time.... I find I play too many crap hands if I am only playing one table.

That is too good, if you started with only 1000$ and made 2000$ per month.

I have friends that are making a lot of money online. Poker, betting. All of them have problem with the eyes so I prefer for now to work in a normal job.

That is too good, if you started with only 1000$ and made 2000$ per month.

Not exactly what I meant, I actually started with around $300 some months back and won $1000 very quickly, but I am not new to poker and did play smaller games with small success a few years back. These days I bring around $1000 to a poker room so I can play max buy-in at 3 tables.

That is even better, so starting bank of 300

I'd like to try making a living from playin a poker, but my bankroll isn't enough for that :<

I think that not many people became rich by gambling !
After my mind only  15% off all players have constant profit from gambling.
Other 60 % does not lose much ( or win a little) .
But 25 % is a constant profit of casinoes , because they lose some biggest sums.

Not me i am playing only for fun

I have a friend who wins good from poker. He has a bank worth 5000$

I am the worst gambler here I should shoot myself.

I would like to be able living from gambling )) but know i see that it should be seriosly done work for learning and training myself a lot - to become better then other - so it's not an easy way, a lot work should be done! ))

Do you want to learn with me to play poker better. If you want contact me by pm here

yeah, my friend do this stuff, thats the reason i started playing poker.
Friend making 1000$ on average per month, playing 3-4 hours a day, it is quiet a good side-job if you ask me ))

Its good only if you are good in this game. If you arent then it will be very hard for you and you will feel bad when you lose.

It is very hard to live from it. You must have a at first a lot of money to start. Then its a lot of stress, because you know you rely only on that.

After my mind nobody can constantly win in gambling.
And I think that without working anywhere alse you cannot make your live full of money.

I think someone makes live from gambling.
But I think no one can live more then 2 years earning money only on gambling.
Because earning money on gambling depends on how lucky you are.
And even you are the luckiest man all around the world your lucky will not last more then 2 yers.
And then you must find a job.

, no way, man. If you want to get rich, better stay away from casinos. The biggest what i won was $1000 and It was real hard to pass everything to put it into my pocket  ::)
