a lot depends on your mentality, it’s difficult for a family person to hope for a stable income from such a variable game, but if you invest your winnings from poker into passive income, it’s ideal for me

When I see professional players I think yes, in my case it is a help because I have a job and the winnings from poker help me with some expenses at home

Yes it can be, but is not easy at all.

how can you earn regular salaries in poker, or even many times more, but not everyone will be able to do it

Of course, many players work with this, to be a poker professional you need to dedicate yourself a lot and learn to deal with losses

Depends on the skill level of the player. Some players make millions of dollars and that’s pretty stable imo.

Of course, poker can be a source of income in the long run. But you should always understand that your risks should be diversified. So, if something goes wrong, you should also have other sources of income that can offset certain not-so-good periods of your game. In other words, in addition to poker, you should also have a job :)

I don't know, it didn't matter to me.I'd rather just believe that 1-2 successful races can bring big money than constantly finishing in good places.

There is no doubt that poker can be a constant source of income, but not every player has it.

Yes, poker can be a stable source of income or career for skilled players who manage their finances and approach the game with discipline and strategic thinking.

If you play systematically in the long term it is profitable. It is difficult to synchronize the profits with the bills if you play like a job. So the main target will be to succeed some bigger games to make a stack for life's needs!

Stable is not a term I find myself using when discussing poker.
This, you can live of poker, it is hard but you can, but not a stable money, you got to have a really nice plan to the variance.

Yes, however, this is only possible if you are able to be a better player every day and are constantly evolving, but for this, you will have to have a financial reserve, because you could face a bad period of losses and Having a financial reserve is very important so that it doesn't influence your game, discipline to play the AVG that you beat the field, and always seek knowledge and always review your game.

Poker can be an additional source of income, but to be the main one, the player must be a professional.
