According to statistics, about 5% of players are profitable, about 15% play at zero, and the remaining 80% play at a loss. You can make money playing poker, and this is real, I know from personal experience, but for this a person must do it professionally, spend a lot of time on it, constantly work on their mistakes and on their game in general, in general, take it seriously and set a goal. And then over time there will be a good result, if you put in a lot of effort. Here, as in any other area, only the best achieve good results, those who work hard. Many people play just to have fun, and do not set a goal to earn a stable income playing poker. A person plays several tournaments a day, enjoys the game and adrenaline, and this is enough for him. Today, I also play for fun, because I have a lot of other things to do and care about in life, which are priorities first, so I can not spend a lot of time playing poker, but in the future I plan to do it more seriously, it's just that the time has not come yet.
