You can make a living but it's very difficult and you're not going to get rich even if you're very very good.

Hi mate..I think just a few can live from poker. .But ,it´s more likely that you can earn a monthly extra money.With patience and bankroll management you can reach that goal.

Realistically, even if you were at the bottom of the top 10% in the World, that would mean there are several million players that are better than you.
I say just have fun and manage your gambling dollars.

I think just feel the game and learn every day and controll your bankroll. If you do this good, you can win money.

Absolutely no. It was honestly on a bit of life support for the last 10 years or more, but coronavirus has totally rivived it at least for now.

Depends on your costs of living, how hard you work, and how talented you are.

Right now games are good everywhere. Just play on a site, which is safe, and where there are no issues with depositing, withdrawing etc.

There is still a good % lower then you(-10%) even that equates to millions of players your better than. Suck it up and play freerolls till you hit a decent roll to begin playing.

You are correct. I was just giving some friendly words of caution to folks that might think they are the real deal.
I have seen a few buddies of mine get lucky early in their poker experience, only to see them fail miserably.
Kind regards,

You can but you need a pretty nice bankroll and a lot of patience to get started. Understand you do not always win and sometimes for long spells. I will stick to not throwing my money away.

Of course everybody can win some money. The most one will lose or win a little bit, just a few of players will earn much money. Improve your game and change the side you ll stay

I doubt that you can make money in online poker rooms unless you have a huge stroke of luck and win a million dollar prize. Another formula so that you can earn money online is that you create a program that gives you an advantage and avoids being detected by the security of the page. For the rest, have fun, hang out and relax, it is a somewhat cheap hobbies if you control yourself

To 'earn money'... why would a person need to 'win a million dollar prize'??

The best 'formula' is to put in the work (studying).

Read through the forum and you will discover some members are making money online.

There's a challenge thread where one player made $25,000 in 30days of playing, starting out with just $5,000 & playing average buyin of $10 at first. It wasn't luck or some secret program that got him there.

Hi guys I heard lot of things about online poker
Ppl using bots and friends sharing screen so thy can see each other hands... etc

So my question
Is online poker dead
Can you make living
What are best sites
Click to expand...

I believe that everything will depend on how you view poker.

if you have recreational interests and just for fun, you can earn money from poker, but remember that professionals who are trained will always be better than you, as they are better than me and countless players.

If you are interested in treating poke as a profession, you will have to dedicate yourself to earn a living from it. And even so, you can get frustrated for not having immediate results, I was very frustrated.

Another relevant bridge is that you understand the dynamics of the game before becoming professional, because it is useless if you spend hours / days and at the same time bother with losing hands, or in a flip that participates.
EVERYTHING IS PART OF THE poker game.

That's a vision I have!

About the parallel sites, I really like AMERICAN CARDROOM, natural 8, bodog, betfair, SportsBetting:star:

I think any poker player thought about this question how often,
I think for being a profissional poker player and live by that job you have to spend so much time and money, altogether it's harder than anyone thinks, I know people that are playing poker for 7 years straight and still have a job

I think a lot of poker players face their version of the Peter Principle.
If they focused on lower levels they would be a winning player, but they push their limit and wreck their bankroll.
Quoted directly from the Wiki.
"The Peter principle is a concept in management developed by Laurence J. Peter, which observes that people in a hierarchy tend to rise to their "level of incompetence": an employee is promoted based on their success in previous jobs until they reach a level at which they are no longer competent, as skills in one job do not necessarily translate to another."

 hi, it’s quite possible to make money in poker, though I think it’s not huge, and you need a good distance to earn money:)

Stay away from on-line poker. The glory days of making money with on-line poker died over a decade ago. On-line poker is proliferated by cheaters, scammers, colluders, artificial bots, and little to no incentive to deposit money.

Stick to live games. At least with live games you aren't going to be a victim of foul play by rigged RNGs and players who are colluding and/or using VPNs to multi-account and cheat you out of your money.

no friend, unfortunately I don't believe in poker studios or schools. Poker is a simple game of basic knowledge and luck, the rest is a tale on the way. In fact, a prize of $ 25,000 is a good prize. That is what I was referring to. What happens is that I exaggerate a little when talking about millions and it would be necessary to see the end of that story of the person who won the $ 25,000, if greed led him to throw it away. or if I use wisely his fortuitous gain. I am a 51-year-old person, too old to be telling stories, now if you believe in all that, I respect you.

According to your answer, time and a lot of money, if you want to become a professional player and live from poker, I only need a third condition, luck, a lot of luck, that will depend on the amount of money you invest and your promotion in the game . Otherwise, perfect and sensible response
