You and your poker...

Which of these best describes you as a poker player?

rancid

weak

FlashFlush

Not sure I particularly fit into any of those... I am not a beginner, and I think I play too often to be classed as occasional, but I don't spend hours researching the game and strategies, I like to learn through playing so I wouldn't say I'm an enthusiast. Although I am enjoying playing the game more recently, it still always comes down to the money at the end of the day, so although I do have a full time job I have gone for professional.

DOHHHHHHH

+ $10,000 months have a lot to answer for

Where's the 'addict' option?

Well, professional, by definition, means you get paid for it...

...which makes me a professional writer, poker player, speaker, and document controller - but not all of those fit on my passport

Only one person has called themselves a learning beginner, so far.

Typical, no? We're all experts.

The only one I am not is a professional.

Top 3 all true to some extent

Thanks for the votes guys.

None really fit the bill for me, I'd say I'm more than an enthusiast but a long way from being or wanting to be a professional.

Unfortunately, telling your job center adviser what you have done to look for work this week is not classed as being a "speaker". Signing on to get your dole is not classed as being a "writer", and cashing your giro does not make you a "document controller".


I'm kidding of course, but you'll never show us anything you have written, you'll never give us examples of where you've been a speaker...but yeah....I'm just kidding.

Oh yeah............

I'm an occasional fun player,


I earn a very good wage so there is NO WAY could poker match that, also,, After work, taking the kids out, taking the Mrs out, taking the Mrs and kids out, walking the dog, my mid week 5 a side and weekend Sunday league football, Gym 4 times a week, watching the Villa at ALL home games, I jut don't have the time to play more than 2 hours a week, sometimes 3 or 4 hours, but usually I'm a 2 hours a week player.

my answer really would feel split

if it was tourneys then the answer is easy i'm a beginner learning the game.

but with cash i can't really see my answer in them i now can dominate the beginners, i would put myself the next step up in cash where a villians bets are not so obvious.

This isn't very pleasant. I'd suggest you stop trying to mock and undermine people.

Actually, mate, I have been paid for my writing - there are plenty examples of this online, and in print; just Google my name - and I have been paid to speak at functions, not that I should have to explain either of these things to you. I have been writing fiction since I was a kid. My full time job is as a document controller.

Thanks for your input.
