Hi everyone,

I have played poker for years (only cash games 2NL, 5NL). And I have a dream of earning $50/day from playing cash games online.

I beated 2NL and now trying to beat 5NL.

Is my dream realistic and possible ?

Do you all give me some advices on that ?

Supposed that, I have 4 hours ++ per day and focus only on poker.

Thank you and have a good day!

50/4 =12.5 $/hr
12.5/ 0.05= 250 bb/hr
That’s almost impossible
You either need to play higher stakes or bring your expectation down

$50 in 4++ hours a day equals to $12/5--/hr, which is close to minimum wage. Why not do something productive 8hr/day, and play a feeroll in the evening for fun?

first of all forget the "per day"!you cannot win every day, we all want to.
Set up a serious strategy with backup (in case of downswings), BRM, stay in your "league" where you have success and stab at higher ones just occasionally.
Just imagine a slot machine, you won a big win and go up in bets per line.(10x wow)
Maybe first spin is another Big Win, but is that real? History tells you're gonna loose all or be in the paper next day :cool:
Put your winnings of the day to stab bigger ones. If it doesn't work out, get back to get more winnings on safer ground and try again.
Once you've established in the next higher league, ask again!

Absolutely I need to climb higher to 10 NL, 50 NL, 100 NL....The question is simple that if we could earn $50 from cash games or not ?

send me 10.000 Dolares and I will teach you how to :$:
with 10.000 $ you can even make 100$ a day, and we share
but you need another 90.000 backup in case I run into Ziggy

Your dream is real. But you should earn 100 dollars a day minimum. The goal set many of the current professionals in the beginning of his career in poker.

You can win $ 50 for 4 hours but not every day and do not forget that you can lose, but it's hard and long at 2 = 5 cents, it's very good to play at 10 = 25 cents and play cautiously and wait for a very good card and win money!

Your goal may make sense. But you should increase the stakes and to devote more time to poker.

It depends on how big youre edge over the other players is. I remember a interview with nanonoko were he explained it very well, cant seem to find it right now. I will try to explain it myself.

Lets say you play zoom cashgame, nl5 f.e. and beat your limit with 10bb/100 (Wich is awesome btw :D) you play around 250 hands per hour per table. To make this an easy calculation you play 4h a day 20 days a month. You will see about 20k hands a month generating you around 100$ a month with one table.

Now if you play 4 tables zoom every day your edge wont be as high as you lack the time to think through every hand (witch gets better with practice btw.), lets say 7bb/100. Now you play 4 times as much wich will lead to around 4k hands a day wich is 80k a month. now 80k hands / 100 x 0,35 = 280 $

Thats why people multitable ;)

As Andrew said, if you are sitting at the final table of the Sunday million id rather onetable, because this might be the one big chance for you and you want youre edge as high as possible.

Yes you can, not in NL5.

hands per day/100*Winrate in bb = Profit
Do the math ;)

If you are playing 1/2 live its entirely realistic. Which if you can beat .02/.05 on line you should be able to do if only for the 6bb's per hour for 4 hours you want to make 50 dollars a day.

Online is an entirely different story... it would take years of hard work and practice in order to make that much in a day consistently at .25/.50. If you've gathered anything from these posts its that you should do more research and educate yourself more on how to achieve these goals you have.


but best of luck buddy who knows where you'll be in two years

Nothing is impossible but playing cash games is not as profiteable as playing Sit n go's or Spin n go if you could engage a 5.5$ in a sit n go with more than 20 players and you play to win and to be in the money you will get your 50$ play wise and do not keep playing the cash game. Try Sit'n'go and Spin'n'Go it will be more realistic to earn 50$ a day

yes I think that's a good goal, and reasonable to do.
I had that goal and I ended up making 1k in a week . had a few days I did a little better .
kept me from playing to much and decreasing my roll.
honestly when I use to put a goal per session win and lose. and stuck to it. i was way more suscceful

why if he can manage that and moves to a hundred a day. thats what the average job pays per day.

You need higher limits for that and you wont win everyday even if you beat the level so keep that in mind, the best you can hope for is for a monthly number.

This is the answer of my question in my mind because most of the time i play cash game i lost a lot of money but when i play tournament tables i make some profit but very small. I will try to play both spin and sit n go.

Yes, you can. But not with small stakes and not per day. We can calculate the summary for imaginary $50 per day; that makes $350 a week and about $1400 a month. That $1400 dollars per month is indeed doable but you definitely need to climb higher and then be very good at it. You also have to realize that you can't win your every session and you will experience downswings as well so you need to calculate that $1400 with possible losses included.

Instead of just thinking about numbers, you should focus on becoming better and slowly climbing up the stakes. The money will then follow. Dreaming is allowed, I do that myself too, but you also have to have realistic smaller goals in the middle and understand that success takes time.

You probably wanted just a simple "yes" or "no" answer to your question but I think that poker is so complicated that nothing about it is that black and white. That's important to understand. Anyway, good luck to the future! :)

Hard to win everyday may be a little better to try to increase stakes average something a day instead of trying to just to win a certain amount.

that's impossible, you need to lower your expectations and play higher limits to achieve those goals
