If you are good and experienced and mentally stable you could maybe pull it off.
Start with micro stakes and see if u can still play profitable.

Like u said the gold rush is long gone, I know a different game you could play which has sorta the same rules, master emotions, patience, strategic thinking.
Its called trading and there is a huge potential market for it now on digital money.

Sorry didnt mean to be like that but its true though, the way I see it there is a "gold rush" for traders now in this volatile crypto market.
If I were you it might be to give that a shot, If you have what takes. Its true that around ~90% of traders fail though.

Its getting harder and harder. But if you are really dedicated, sure.

My buddy who I trade crypto with makes his living off of poker. He's been doing unbelievably well this year, he's currently top 2500 or something out of 8,000 for a WSOP tournament.

Was poker dealer for 2 year 20011 to 2013 and can confirm the only people who consistently beat the game is the house with rake and dealers with tips

Other than that the players are just passing money around week to week and rake continues to eat away.

Be careful with that the croupier's in LV spotted my attempts and politely warned me. I guess they could tell by my betting patterns. However in Sweden when on holiday it was like a cash machine.

I played a lot of online poker at 100NL from 2008-2011 cashed in a few big tornies. Largest amount I won was 25k at a MTT and $600 on 100nl

>910s on button 8 handed
>everyone calls
>raise 10bb
>amazingly but one insta call
>flop is open-ended Str8flush
>1st position shoves
>everyone instacalls
>everyone has pps
>hit J on turn for straightflush
Everyone moaned at me for calling but I was priced in.

Cashed 12k at wsop 2010, grinded from a $1 sat to win a package. Was a great free holiday.

You can make an ok living at the $1/3 stakes.

Mostly because this is the lowest level and the players are the worst because its the lowest blinds. You can beat the rake in vegas there at this level. 2/5 is also ok. 5/10 is going to be tough.

Really depends on the rake structure. European casinos are impossible. Just for reference...

at 30 hands an hour...thats roughly $125 to the house assuming there is some chopping. assuming $200 buy in(again, lowest stakes)...house is taking roughly 5% of the table every hour.

Fuck brick and mortar Casinos. Until online poker becomes legal in America again, poker is dead.
