Rhetorical question. Probably because few players play poker really successfully.

Like anything the more people that get involved in an activity the harder it becomes.

I do not think that it is difficult to win, if you play well and understand all the combinations in poker and you have good cards in the game and the combinations are excellent, then you can win and raise a bankroll, I do not argue for losing moments, but I continue to play and try to win !!

Playing a poker tournament in live take some prize is much easier because there will not be every second to play all-in .. And many in online poker use many different programs giving them an advantage! Only the poker tournament started with some kind of dude the stack already exceeds your 4-5 times although only a couple of minutes have passed since the tournament started.
You can win but it's quite problematic ...

Maybe because you don't have enough skills to match your opponents.
If you are new to poker, you have to realize that it is not purely a game of chance. It requires some skills. Check out the strategy section on this forum.

Anyone can win. Winning consistently is the hard part. This comes with putting more time and effort away from the tables, and then putting it into action in the game :)

More information these days for people to get better. All it takes is an internet search and some reading or video watching to improve your game.

More advanced players, more tools to study by and only the ones willing to put in the work will have the advantage over the ones not willing.

If it was that easy so many more people would play. Just got to work at it more if you want to get better.

probably win is difficult because of the fact that all who sit down to play poker want to win, but unfortunately everyone can not win! wins the one who completely understood all the subtleties of the game!

I think the reason is simple: only few players can understated from where money comes from in poker.

This is an interesting question. It is said right here on the forum that it is currently harder to win Hold'em tournaments but also say that Poker is going through a phase of decline with fewer people playing. So the answer to your question can not be a larger number of players.

The rake makes it harder to win than it actually is. Combine the rake + luck factors and skill can sometimes seem useless in the short term. Just gotta stick to your guns and play your best poker at all times.

It's an even playing field, it's just as hard for your opponents, unless they're cheating, so if it's hard for you, then it's hard for others also.

Poker suppose to be an easy way to get wealthy?!Nope needs to play on strategy ,take the right decisions on play and the luck of course lol.I think every player that starts playing poker has the illusion that it's easy and it's only a cards game .

it's not hard to win poker when you have a stack and good luck on your side, but when luck does not, then forget about the win) Because poker is a bingo game)

When you have passion for something, everything is easy. Everything is possible. Someone who has passion for poker doesnt mind spending a year or two learning about it and then playing.

You should rethink if your game is correct, if so, you are going through negative variance and if everything remains the same, ... withdraw a time, is the best option:joyman:

discipline vs gambling

Why Poker so hard to win?:confused:

its difficult because it requires not only inteligence and maths, but discipline has to do with our own personal efforts and determination. we are in fact aware of most mistakes we make. we make these mistakes because there is a strong temptation to gamble our hands, expecting that luck might help us.

There are any different reasons, but common are:
An absence of strategy that fits you;
Absence of error log;
Emotional instability.
I worked a lot on the first two.
