They tell you they are Poker pro's and play for a living but taken in the context of a 40 hours week over 6 years £5000 is not a good living.
How exactly did you end up in this conversation with them?
Usually this kind of thing starts when someone says something abusive or derogatory in my experience.
Don't think there will be m/any MTT/SNG pros that play exclusively on sky.
They'll either play a lot of cash also which isn't reflected on sharkscope, and/or a lot of games on other sites, so the stats you see will just be a small % of their winnings over that period.
Could you give and exmaple of this please? I've been very lucky on Sky and apart from the occasional brag I haven't seen anyone be abusive. Now other sites I see a lot of abuse. But Sky is very friendly with players more likely to offer advice than be abusive.
As an example, if you Sharkscope the guy that wins pretty much every single rake race promotion on this site, he has less than £3,500 profit from MTT's. I dare say he has had single months when he wins more than that on the cash tables.
Again, thanks for the informative reply and inline with what my partner said and others have said, one sites MTT/SNG results are not enough.
Why do so many on here post crazy replies.
You cannot survive without that intangible quality we call heart. The mark of a top player is not how much he wins when he is winning but how he handles his losses. If you win for thirty days in a row, that makes no difference if on the thirty-first you have a bad night, go crazy, and throw it all away
A few days a go I had a guy say to me on the chatbox (paraphrasing): "you're a s*** player, you need to go learn some stuff, trust me, I'm a professional poker player".
I looked at this players Sharkscope's statistics and he was -£2K in 2 years .. -.-
Anyway, even if he was a professional, at least I know how to act with dignity!!
no one blame's anyone else when they are winning...........
poker players paradox
I have never heard a winning poker player moan about people's play
Can't say I've ever seen that before.
