ming172 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Is there many people making a living from poker on unibet-truthfully?.I am a winning player and can make a wage,well enough to get by at 4euro games.I am probably better and could win at higher but dont cope with swings well and can end up sports betting to chase money back so play safe at 4euro,just wondered if there are people with the same type of story.I have played for about 6yrs on most sites and found this is the best due to it being on a level playing field.It has took me all that time to find a balance between bankrolls and withdrawals and tilting the hardest things in poker i think is to find the balance what your comfortable with.

Magicadil Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 A living no, but enough as a secondary income. I like poker because I can still do what I love & involve cards into it. As an example, my friends and I had a challange on who could win more SNG's while snowboarding down a slope. I would say I'm a recreational player that ties poker into activities I'm already planning on doing. I don't really take poker serious in terms of reviewing hand histories, etc.. but I still enjoy watching streams and picking up on tips. I debateShould I smile like everything's good and pretend that life is greatOr should I let the world see the real me and not hide this painI tried to be like the rest of y'all, sorry I just can'tI'ma probably die this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pirahn Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Not enough to make a living but beer money ( quite partial to cognac ) and a couple unibet open trips, some uk tours plus making new friends. Now back to the cognac... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeedeeen Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Nobody tells that he is living from poker))) I am sure, that a lot of regs from nl100-200-400 lives from poker, they plays a lot and plays very solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChapInAChair Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I don't make a living (yet) but I've reluctantly used some of my roll to contribute to my mortgage in the last two months so I'm officially declaring myself semi-professional. All being well it will be my primary income in 2017. Formerly known as StartlingGrope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ming172 Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 Sure.i have played you before at higher stakes I have played on this site for a few years now the lower limits are better for your soul-I am an unskilled worker so that's the reason I can make more for the same hours than minimum wage and my wife works so I just play poker and live ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
