How much money can you earn as a recreational poker player?

[Mike_25]

As a recreational poker player, earnings will be modest at best. While I enjoy the game for what it is, poker ain't no get-rich-quick scheme. A few lucky nights may pad my wallet, but mostly I'm in it for the experience. I don't grind 12 hours a day studying win frequencies and pot odds. For me, poker is a social sport, a chance to unwind with a drink, talk smack, and maybe win enough to cover my food and drinks. The pro's make their living at the tables, I just make enough for some extra spending money and stories to tell. That's my kind of gameplay.
