For me, yes, always studying hard and playing concentrated can be achieved. I know many people who are winners online. I couldn't talk about myself because I haven't been playing that long. But you can be a winner.

Don't know about online but it took about me 4 years of working on my game to grind 1/2 and 2/4 live and it was not a fun experience during the poker boom.

I had to show up when ppl got off work and show up on the weekends so it wasn't show up when "you" feel" like. Then bills have to be paid regardless if you make a profit or not at the end of the month, lol.

And the travel to and back from the casino wasn't fun because its a "trip", lol.

Online during the boom you could easily work a regular job and have stability then play online when every you wanted. You probably could do that today but I'm not sure since it depends on your situation and how much time you can put into it.

But i can almost guarantee you that by the time you're a profitable player you could have finished a trade school or a college degree and have stability and probably be better off doing the "poker thing" on the side.

I believe that in order to make a living from poker you have to dedicate a lot of time and study to obtain the expected results. Greetings and good hands.

for me poker is more of a hobby, but sometimes additional income, but being completely dependent on poker is psychologically difficult for me and I need to work a lot on the game, and this is a difficult process

How long does it take for poker to become your income? Globally, it is worth talking about periods from several months to two years for most players. However, not everyone has the natural ability to make a consistent living from poker.Even hard work outside the tables and proper play may not immediately bring positive results, but over a long distance of tournaments or hands in a cash game played, you will always be in the black.

I think it works, but it has to be done little by little, you don't want to win everything in one hour.

Of course, if you can make money, you just have to see the number of players who dedicate themselves to this to realize it. It is not easy but it can be achieved

You can earn money even without money and the СС contributes to this perfectly. Play and if you do everything right, then you will definitely win over time.

It's only my guess, but the pool of players is so much bigger online, your chances of winning are somewhat proportionally smaller. Especially if you are playing low stakes

If you envision it on the very long term, maybe you can cash out in the positive, even if you play low stakes. But once again, your winnings will be proportional. So as someone was mentioning, if you play at low stakes, maybe it's better to take poker as a hobby or training camp

without a doubt yes you can, if you are a regular and good player you will make money, now if you don't dedicate yourself to poker and don't dedicate yourself to improving your game you will hardly make money

I have played online for less than a year in total. You can definitely make money from poker if you are a winning player. But it takes a lot of dedication to master I think and make big money.

It depends on your perseverance and dedication, I have been in poker for years and I have won a few dollars but not enough to make a living from it, so it is something possible but at the same time complicated

Yes. Poker is a zero sum game. Some players win while others lose. Try to be on the winning side.

how many years have you been playing online poker and has it been a way to make money etc?
I have been playing poker for about 5-6 years, and for me poker is fun and at the same time it is an opportunity to earn money. Money is the main motivation for me and that's why I try to play disciplined, patient and always try to work on my mistakes and improve my skills.
