    The idea of playing poker for a living was sold to everyone as glamorous back in 2004. This is the reality of playing for a living, looks worse than a 9 to 5.

      Not necessarily. This is the reality of grinding low stakes. It appears they’re playing 1/2 or 2/5 at most. There’s almost no money to really be made at these stakes especially in a high rake private game.
      If you can profitably play 5/10 or 10/20+ the reality is far different. Games run less often so it’s less of a grind yet you can make significantly more money. The recreational players have more to lose and are far less nitty.

      @@dan22482 Yea Dan, but you're forgetting that requires having a big bankroll to try that out.
      These people don't have $15,000 to go sit at a 10/20 table each day...
      When poker is your only source of income you don't go put all your money down on one day of play.
      Your scenario is reasonable for people that have $60 grand to $100 grand that they don't care about.

      it's worse than going to school and work at the same time because you have to study all the time in addition to playing. then you have to find the best games..... sometimes that is commuting more than an hour. sometimes you play 8,12,20 or even 30 hrs straight( if the game is great).

      Times change. In 2004 I could Make a good living playing. After 2015 or so I couldn't. Your best hope grinding 1/2 with a bad beat dollar or 2 taken from each hand is to break even at the table, make $ on comps, and pray you hit a bad beat one day.

    Not sure if this was a planned objective from the director, but this documentary is one of the reasons why Poker is still viewed as gambling for so many people who are clueless about the game. I am a professional poker player. Been doing it for almost 10 years. And like me, there's thousands more. But it's not easy money. You have to study on a daily basis. And you have to be able to go through periods of bad luck (because there is, obviously, luck involved) and keep on grinding. But if you can't buy dinner or pay your bills, because you had a bad week/month, then you are doing something wrong.

    Been playing poker for over 25 years as a recreational player, and I am Positive cashflow. In my years I have learned that every poker player thinks they are better than they actually are. Some are way better than others obviously but players peg their skill higher than they actually are, no matter what level. Too many attribute their misses as just bad luck, and their big scores and years as skill as opposed to a lot of good luck mixed in there. This documentary has further substantiated this...

What you said is true for 95 percent of the players out there so many don't do anything to improve and feel they have a lock on the game with their current play style and knowledge. To me poker is ultimate example of self-responsibility it's all on you if you succeed or fail. You can choose to be a student of the game read study and play with players that may be better than you and try to learn. Or you can live in the world of denial blame your losses on bad beats and never really examine your own skill level. But at the end of the day thats great you want to be in a room full of people who think there are the best player at the table and exploit the mistakes that they are bound to make.

    So we've got one low stakes grinder that has no money management skills, and isn't actively studying the game away from the table, another one who's basically a loose cannon with no etiquette at the table, and a club owner who doesn't pay his rent on time.
    These aren't professional poker players, these are avid poker players who make bad money decisions in life. I hope the best for them, I really do, but most grinders I know in the areas where I play would eat these guys for lunch.
    If I ever did decide to quit my day job and play poker full time, you can bet that 75% of the time would be spent studying, when not at the table. You have to keep studying this game because it's constantly changing. The average player today is heaps better than the average player in 1998.

    Ever since the mid 2000's when I won a free roll poker tournament I've wanted to be a professional poker player. It's a lot harder than this documentary makes it seem. I read books, study charts, and play online almost every day. Yet my win rate isn't enough to earn a living. Mostly because I play in small stakes games. Saving up to move up in stakes is extremely hard. It seems like every time I start building up a bankroll a car breaks down. Or my hvac breaks. Then I have to dip into the bankroll. But I keep grinding and hopefully one day I'll be able to quit my day job.

      The difference in Rounders was he was griding at limit poker like a 10/20 limit game and his goal was one big blind per hour which would equate to a $20 per hour job, hence the the term grind like a regular 9-5 grind. This is why he decides to jump into the no limit game and risk his bankroll to escape the grind. The best quote was "You see, I learned how to win a little at a time.

      A difference is though you put your hours in every week and are guaranteed some income. Sometimes these guys put their hours in in not only don't get an income but they lose money which makes it way way more mentally taxing than working a job

    The main aspect that I really like from this documentary is the outlook that poker gives people. The club owner got absolutely screwed over and put into hospital and he still seems absolutely fine, as he knows just in poker, he got dealt a bad hand and his just unlucky right now but luck changes and he will bounce back… Anyone else would be in the ditches having lost everything. Just like what Daniel said, if he went broke, he would be unphased; and I believe that. I dont think he would batt an eye at losing all his wealth, he simply wouldn't care. Andre is an extreme example, where he neglects basic needs, just to reach his poker goals. Although you have to give him credit for his determination. This documentary got bad reviews but I think it has a lot of depth, if you look out for it. Well done to the director.

      I think Daniel would definitely be phased if he lost everything and had to start all over. He just might not let it keep him down like some people would. There are 2 kinds of people in the world. Those who get back up after being knocked down no matter how many times. And those who give up and lay there. Most of the time the truly successful people are the ones who always get back up.

      People will try to goad you,. They'll try to own you. But this isn't a gunfight. It's not about pride or ego. It's only about money.
      You can't lose what you don't put in the middle. But you can't win much either.

    I watched this a few years back and had been thinking about it recently and wondering what Andrei specifically. Dude really loved the game - not sure he was actually any good though. Would be funny to see him pop up playing the nosebleeds or find out he's crushing online,etc. Cool to see underground scene in my home city back during the boom, as well.

  • @AlexNGC123

    11 years on predictions of where are they now: Filmmaker Matt was first to quit grinding seriously and managed to find sporadic success in television and documentary work, enough to live a pleasant life with wife and kid. He still plays occasionally in a local home game for fun.
    Andre's dream to make it as a pro died a few years later when the games became tougher. He moved into the IT sector and now works in cybersecurity.
    Poor man's Danny Negreanu was the last to throw the towel in, breaking even for a number of years before eventually being so deep in make-up that his backer had to cut him off. He then went on to start a home security company with a friend and earns a decent living installing alarm systems.
    Lawrence, my heart's pulling for him to have gotten his poker room inventory back and started up a highly lucrative Molly's game private room, but to be honest it's not looking good..
