Great site. Did you finally crap out at poker or are you just bored with it? I have a theory that most poker "pros" aren't actually beating the game, but rather are making money from sponsorships and selling pieces of themselves at a premium. There are also probably a few that just happen to run lucky for a statistically unlikely period of time - enough to make them think they are "good".
- licyeus 10y agoI had a similar story to OP, only over just 2 years. I likely was in that run-lucky group, but don't have the volume to know for sure. In my experience, there were clearly, provably good players in the top 1-2%, then a bunch of professional grinders (next 5-20%) with the majority of their winnings coming from rakeback (cash back from the house's cut). OP, congrats on shipping. I'd recommend reading a bit about UX and throwing a CSS framework around your work to make it more palatable to general public. :)
- plankton_sb 10y agoIt's both actually. I've never been a big winner in poker, just made enough to have a good living as a single and with time it was getting more and more difficult to win. Besides that I didn't like the lifestyle anymore and couldn't see myself playing poker in my 50s-60s. It was time to change something. I didn't play single hand since I decided to quit :).
