I hate poker and if you keep winning someone will probably kill you.If you have the powers mentioned by the TC you would be wise to only use them every so often and in different cities. You could make a very comfortable living doing so.
I hate poker and if you keep winning someone will probably kill you.Why? If you play in organized games sanctioned by the WSOP, and win the money legit, you just (at worse) become a famous poker player

I wouldn't want to be famous.Famous but only in the circle of the game.
This topic is showing my ignorance, I don't even know how to play Poker but doesn't that game involve alot of baiting or something like that? That can be a very useful skill in other aspects of your lifeYeah, bluffing is a huge part of the game. Its why so many of the pros wear sunglasses and hoodies at the table. Theres a very significant psychological aspect to the game.

Poker is like roughly 80% luck, 20% skill. Sure, being skilled in poker can get you consistently a little far into tournaments, but there's also plenty of other skilled poker players out there and you really need to be lucky to get enough good hands to win tournaments.
Just give me the 30 grand.
Why would anyone in their right mind take 30k? In the world of professional poker that's literal change. Even if you don't like Poker (I'm more of a Blackjack lover myself), you can earn more than 30k in a single night.
People are lazy
30kThis couldnt be further from the truth.
poker is a luck based game so there are no skills/talent to gain
I think people seem to forget that your not just getting Poker skills. Your getting the skills and abilities of the best Poker player ever. Ergo, bluffing, knowing when people are bullshitting you, keeping a straight face when your lying, card counting, being able to see things most people wouldn't, etc. A lot of which can be transferred into other fields.
Hell, many jobs these days will accept WoW guild leader as a viable skill these days because it shows leadership, problem solving etc. By gaining the skills and abilities of the best Poker player ever, your essentially turning into Monk from the tv show Monk.

Skill plays a factor in poker but so does luck. Being able to read people in a specific game doesn't mean it will translate to unrelated professions. Even the lying thing, lying is not a top notch skill..... and the skill at lying in a specific subject doesnt mean you can take that to any profession. In fact, it's entirely useless in my career and many other careers.

Like this idea that you can take poker talents and the no money average joe can go easily become rich off that is not some surefire or easy thing. Regardless if you work hard. Employers generally aren't jumping at the chance to employ some rando who can play poker well who has no particular skills that pertain to the specific profession and whatever poker skills they do have do not automatically translate well to the job they are seeking applicants for.
You can literally make more than $30k in Atlantic City in a month, bouncing around from casino to casino, playing low-level $500 buy-in tournaments.Like I said, romanticized it.
You don't even have to worry about bringing it into the "real life".
So, like I said, I think people were just blinded by the "$30k to do nothing" option and went with that.

Heck, the main abilities might really just be that you have incredible acting and an invincible poker face, along with just being able to easily calculate whatever math is necessary to determine whether to push or fold each round, and such.That's exactly it. While the cards you get obviously matter, what's much more important is the ability to act and to read your opponents. If we're talking a world class poker player, that means you're outstanding at reading people and can put on basically whatever air you want, you're great at bluffing.
Like I said, romanticized it.
Your proposal assumes a lot of details that are not remotely a guaranteed.b including the idea that average person who barely makes 50k ayear will have enough to uproot their life and somehow be able to be at poker tables to make 30k a week.
