Name a profession...

I'm not going to change my opinion, no. But there we go, it's healthy debate, yes.

Well that's where you have the advantage.

See, when I debate, I do so with and open mind and I am prepaired to accept good points that are well made.

Not really much point continuing is there?

Good luck to you. I don't think we will be debating again any time soon.

You've based it on that you said that there is skill involved, but you don't have to be skilled to make money from the game. You could be just incredibly lucky, no?

I wonder if we went on an open forum and discussed if it was a profession and if drug dealing was a profession, that they would agree?

Obviously this is true... but I would expect those 5/10% of poker players who make a living and would call themselves professionals would be those who are skillful enough to consistantly make profit. Not some guy who wins the lottery and claims to be a professional lottery player.

Its like you're trying to make a case that being a long-term profitable poker player is some sort of myth. Surely you can't be serious.

Hey, of course I'm not trying to make out everyone loses. But there is nothing guaranteed is there? If I was relying on poker for income or dare I say it, become a poker player to gain an income, I wouldn't call it my profession if someone asked or job.

I'm going to ask people elsewhere see what they say (who are impartial of course).

I'd also like to point out some prostitutes pay tax.

Death is guaranteed, and that is about it...

Not declaring that you're a poker player even if that is your sole source of income is a choice, that doesn't mean it isn't your profession/job.

What would you say out of interest if that were the case?

If I was solely playing poker to get money, I'd probably tell them that I win money from playing poker. I don't think I'd call it my job, like ever. Aren't jobs there to pay tax, I wouldn't be paying tax (yes I know I'm repeating myself).

You may not wish to do so, but I think that it is unfortunately. Keith is a professional gambler, but he can't refer to it as a profession because he doesn't pay tax?

Also, does that mean people residing in Monaco have no profession because they don't pay tax?

If someone was on commission only, and didn't sell anything that month. Would that still be their profession?

I got told off by the American man all in black with black glasses with his little notepad at Heathrow airport when trying to check in my luggage on a random search. Why are you taking x amount to Las Vegas - holiday bit of poker, where did u get x amount from what is your profession? "I don't have a taxable income I believe I am unemployed" "don't get smart with me young man I can stop you boarding this plane immediately border control something something".

He decided for me my profession was a poker player by law and it would be on file for questioning the moment I landed and it was.

Still can't find ignore button, wasting hours of everyone's time with his posts, quite possibly the worst poker player between the age of 18-25 I have had the displeasure of sharing a table with who was actually trying to win and make profitable decisions whilst dissecting others play and telling the, what they should be doing different.
