I am a professional poker player and coach. The italian school I work with finances dozenz of player to play poker, giving them free coaching and a way to make a living.
I like having the opportunity to share my experience helping other people to earn a decent wage, but poker is just a competitive game, while I would like to work in a cooperative environment.
I am committing all the time and resources that I can to understand if Steemit can become a good opportunity to change my job, not only for me but also for all my students.
After being involved for many years in the online poker world, I understood that most people that try to make a living with poker do that because our economic system doesn't allow us to follow our dreams.
I liked your initiative so I upvoted many comments. I am worth 0.04... better than nothing :)
Very nice. I've read a couple places where people say steemit has helped them get over a gambling addiction and feel better about their income as a whole.
