Luxury cars, exotic holidays, and spending sprees might be what come to mind when you think of the lives of top online poker professionals. The reality is that poker is not all flash and fortune. It’s a long and arduous journey to the big wins and riches we see on screen. A professional career takes unbelievable dedication and sacrifice. Let’s see what life is truly like for your favorite poker stars. Then, you can decide whether the saying is true: “is poker a hard way to make an easy living?”

Misconceptions about professional poker

Before you understand what life as a professional poker player is like, let’s dispel some misconceptions concerning poker careers. Many people see professional poker as a side hustle that requires little time to make big money. This image of poker as a get-rich-quick scheme is false. Sure, some poker stars might lead glamorous lives, but players also make great sacrifices to play poker online and offline professionally. Most have to lead frugal lives to make it to the top. Even poker master Daniel Negreanu advises spending less on things such as groceries. Some top players might be multimillionaires, but the majority of people playing poker professionally earn far less. Unlike what movies might portray, poker players are not chasing one big win. The life of a poker player is carefully managed. They don’t “live on the edge.” Success in poker isn’t simply luck and bravado. The pros you look up to aren’t spending their time getting lucky; they’re busy working hard to get better.

What life is like for professional poker players

Long working hours

Online poker has certainly made schedules more flexible for modern players, but one thing remains the same: poker players work long, long hours. Professionals usually have 8 to 12-hour working days. Most professional players dedicate roughly 70 hours of their week to playing poker and working on their strategies.

Constant studying

Daniel Negreanu, also known as Kid Poker, recommends spending 20% of your time studying poker at a minimum. This might seem excessive in any other career, but it’s a common thread among the routines of the top online and live poker players. Poker is a skill-based game. You might benefit from a favorable hand, but someone with a worse hand can take your money when they know what to do with it. Pro players have a strict study routine in place. They spend an hour or two a day reading quality poker guides and books and analyzing videos of poker online.
