That’s 17 hours a day, which barely allows any time to eat and run errands.

Negreanu added that part of being an owner of a business is to create a two-sentence vision statement about what you want to get out of your career as well as determine a concrete income you can achieve. He explained, “ A professional poker player is a small business owner, in the business of entertaining their customers (players who aren’t as skilled as they are).” In a blog published on Friday on FullContactPoker, Daniel Negreanu (pictured) gave his take on becoming a professional poker player.
