Poker training is the most important, you have to spend more time reciting books, articles and putting some hands for analysis .. And what would become a good player does not need to have a thousand dollars, many PROFESSIONALS started with only $ 50 such as Tom Dwan,Daniel Cates, Andre Coimbra, Ivan Demidov.
The heaviest this study, so you will need more than one thousand hours of what would actually earn poker ..

from 0 to sky
yes, its quite possible like the durr did,
imagine this:
you get some money playing freerolls, then through a satellite you get a ticket for a mtt, you get itm, then a ticket for a bigger mtt and so on and so on,
if you are good there will be a matter of time to hit hard in the tables and get a big prize and therefore you will sum up thousands from 0 in a few weeks,
obviously, the thing is you have to be outstanding, superior, no just avg, or good, but above the others if not you can stay at 0 dreaming big

Nothing is impossible, but the stats show that a small percentage of people come out big winners. Wishing you all the best in your journey.

It's possible but FRUSTRATING!! You have to grind long hours. It will bring you great enjoyment when you win but you'll be borderline suicidal when your hard earned money is lost to a bad beat. All in all, it's better for your mental health to earn an income outside of poker and play for a hobby (of course still striving to win, but not being upset if you lose).

To do this what you're talking about in weeks doesn't take you being superior or outstanding. It takes you being lucky and having the deck smack you in the face every game.
As everyone said already, it's possible but not much better odds than winning the lottery lol.

are you that stupid or just trolling? you really think the odds of making riches in poker not much better as you say than winning the lottery, first of all what do you consider riches? if you are coming from rags you could argue that even 10k would be rich compared to that but even if you say 100k it is completely possible to accomplish if you fully commit to doing so and have the talent, No it does not take the deck hitting you in the face every game and being lucky actually I am pretty sure no cash game player ever who came from nothing did so just by luck and if you know one please let me know...The ignorance in you is very high, I could keep going but I don't have time to fix those who utter such nonsense into the light

Granted you all didn't agree with that persay, but I was pertaining it to the 2nd post in the thread where he says it's possible in weeks. Let me ask you this Bernotas. After all that's been said and done from you in CC, do you really think you are even a semi-intelligent person? Honestly?

I'm not even going to respond to your childish behavior, We don't like each other I think the best for both of us is to stay on opposite ends of the spectrum if you can understand that

All the above is subjective. What do you consider 'riches'? And 'rags'? My late father used to have a private game that only older retired business owners played in. The "take out" was only $1,000, but these guys set down with $20,000 to $50,000 and played like real poker players should, no idiots or donks there. The whole lot of them were very friendly and wasn't out to get 'rich', they already were. So one night i thought i would watch the game but due to the large amount of cash on hand, bystanders were strictly forbidden, even if my dad did run the game, i wasn't allowed to watch, so i got in the game having gotten an insurance settlement a few months before. I had a little over 15k in my pocket, took 2k out and felt like Davey going up against Goliath. the game was 7 card stud hi-lo. long story short, i hit a jack high straight flush in clubs, and the low draws busted out, giving me a $38,000 pot, and almost a heart attack. Had we not been playing "out of pocket", i would have only won around $11,000. Some games play out of pocket, meaning if you had everything on the table in, you can pull out more if you have it. So, i went from rags to riches in my thoughts and got lucky in doing it. The right place, the right time, and a little luck. And after a few more hands excused myself and GOT out. Did the old fellers get mad? Nope, they all said come back sometime and play some more. Yea, i will lol.

I'd actually rather prefer if you weren't in the spectrum at all. That'd suit me just fine.

LOL! Not that it's not possible but not easy for sure.
You've got to be the literal king of poker to pull off a job like this.

I agree, having an outside source of income will be a better way forward to pursue ones passion for poker as a hobby. Unfortunately in india unemployment must be around 20%, so a lot of people are getting crushed.

Again, you won't pull it off because you're sick at poker. You'd pull it off because you had the most lucky run ever. Though I'm not saying it doesn't hurt to be good also.

Agreed!
Let's do a little experiment. I'm not even close to a top notch poker player but I'll keep tabs on my progress from 0 to $$$ in the next 4 weeks. I'll begin with a freeroll and let you know where I am based on the money I make starting at the freeroll. I'll be reporting periodically with my progress. How does that sound?

Grinding a bankroll from freerolls is becoming more and more difficult due to many sites just abandoning their tournaments and not offering much freerolling at all.
These days, "rags" is best defined as a minimum deposit. Making serious dough (let's say 20k) from a deposit of less than a hundred dollars will take time. A lot of time, but it's entirely possible.
You are looking for a dream situation. It doesn't happen to most people.

Is very remotely possible. Takes countless hours. I would not bet on it.
Amarillo Slim made millions over his poker career (no word about losses or time spent). He said he could have made the same money in the same amount of time selling hot dogs on the street.
Think about it....
