Am I ready to go Pro??
My god, surely I'm not ready to turn Poker Pro yet, I've not even been playing for a year!!! but then again I have got a 50% ITM / 50% ROI in the $10 - 6 player turbo SNG's on iPoker network but the sample size is only 50 games!
So what makes me think I'm ready to go professional, well, I've just discovered a very interesting secret...
Far fetched you might think, but whooaa, hold on there. I have proof. Infact more than proof, hard statistical evidence from a very credible source. Take a look at the image below, it's a readout from Sharkscope showing 10 players, nine of them are sponsored Pokerstars professionals and the other one is me!
OK so my ROI / Profit on stars isn't huge, but I am in profit, which is better than seven of the nine stars professionals listed.
It can only be a matter of time before Pokerstars realise the error in their ways and call to offer me a sponsorship deal.
Seriously though..... I was rather gobsmacked that some of the pros had negative ROI's. OK I understand that these are their public professional accounts and they are marked with a huge target when they play using them, so they probably have alternate private accounts that they use for making money, but none the less.... I was surprised.

Sharkscope only tracks Sit'n'gos, the money they put down on Live Tables far exceeds any of the numbers there.
Wow.... I can't believe somebody actually read my blog !!!
My post was entirely tongue in cheek. I'm under no disillusion that I am anywhere near good enough to go pro and I probably never will be, it was just a bit of fun.
I'm sure when the named pros are playing under their real names on Stars they are targetted by every poker wannabe (so they can say, "I knocked out Joe Hatchem with 7-4 off suit"). They probably use a different, unknown, alias when they are playing to win, as opposed to fulfilling contractual obligations.
