I was talking with a new co-worker and she told me that her boyfriend is a professional poker player. I’ve never heard that before. Everyone that I know who plays poker does it once a week or once a month for fun. I asked her if he plays every day and she said yes. He’s 21 years old. I asked if he pays taxes on his winnings like employees do on wages and she said, “well, waitresses don’t claim all their tips.”

Can anyone give me an overview of a career as a professional poker player since I’m clueless? How do they find work? How much do they make? What are the possitives & negatives of such a career? Is it something someone can do their whole life?

I’m going to attend a friendly poker game with a new group of guys from church, about 5 of us. I think they all have played poker with real money before, but not with this group. The organizer mentioned that money should be brought to the game. I was kinda suprised, thinking that this would be just for fun. I’ve played poker before, but no money was involved, but i have played black jack before with money. But then again, it wouldn’t be any fun without playing for money. So, how much $ should I bring?

Some help needed for planning a poker run?

A friend of mine an I are planning a poker run in which the proceeds benefit a girl with the disease Cystic Fibrosis. Just incase you don’t know what a poker run is, I’ll briefly describe it. A poker run is an organized motorcycle event where riders travel over a prescribed course and at designated stopping points, select a card. At the end of the run, the person with the best poker hand wins a prize.
Anyway, I am asking if anyone has any ideas or suggestions to make it more fun for the bikers? We will have a cash prize for the winner, but we will also have ticket drawings, so what type of items should we set out for them to win? What companies would most likely donate?
Also, how many bars to stop at, five or six? We need five cards, but maybe a six bar to stop at for the food and drinks?
Any insight is appreciated! Thanks everyone!
One more question.. How much should I charge for the t-shirts and the entry fee?
