Easy Money ?

Is there any easy money making plans at poker ? I don't mean for doing nothing, but simply playing with plan in which you can earn the easiest money ?

freerolls are not real money, you need to be in 1 - 5% top or less to get few cents

Cash tables - you can never know if enemy has straight flush or he is bluffing ever at any stakes, while barely anyone earns, poker room takes the 10% and if you are at 1 skill leveled table after a while you will notice some few % missing of each of your stack

Sit and Go - 1 table - you actually need to be the best of them all to earn something, not an easy money than. Multi table - same thing, low stakes sit and go feels like freerolls though

Multi tourneys - joining them, waiting those 10 - 20% for easy money, except on paper i just lost 2 times because i had AA. Getting in money earns you back little bit more then you payed to get into tournament, and if you fall out of few even playing with AA you can't earn or guarantee easy money, i ended up losing 20 tournaments with 1$ pay to earn in 1 of those tournaments 30$, but what if i would never hit that high place ? i would be left with only lose

Satellite, fast poker, zoom, boom, super fast mode are luck fests now earning ways

I am all about making the plan to earn back in long term, not hitting 1 lucky break with huge money, because that may never happen

Not much left to choose from, but your opinion what is the easiest money ?(assuming that you, we, me play decently to get that plan going, but not that good to beat everyone)

Why not learn to play a decent game instead of trying to find easy money? Even if the latter is possible, why would anyone tell you how anyway?

Unfortunately for you there is no easy money in poker. Whichever variation you try there will already be good players..So the only choice you have is to become better than they are, which will take a long time and a lot of hard work.

Already said but just to add a twist, the only easy money in poker would be a time machine that took you back to when most of the field was much softer compare to how tough it can be now (say 10-12 years ago when people lacked the knowledge that is now available widespread for example). Nothing earned is ever easy IMO, you have to work for it......study the game play the game gain experience and overtime if it will happen you shall earn some money but it will not be earned easily....unless you luckbox a big tourney of course.... but it will come gradually.

Even when things sometimes feel easy thats when variance can kick you and teach you just how opposite of easy it can be to grind through the good and bad times. Enjoy tis a beautiful game

So far, I'm lead to believe 'try to improve skill by every passing hand' everything else will follow.

Of course it won't be easy and so on, but some things each one may have bigger chance than in other things, cash games i think is in the last place to go, i have seen in lower tables even players who are playing at the highest ones and so on, stalked a bit few ones, you think its few cents, while all other people plays plenty of table and makes 20 - 50$ a day out of people who think those are few cents.

In the end rethinking it i am led to believe multi table tournaments are the easiest money, nothing is easy, yes, but why this ? Because many people play that only for fun, second reason is because the money has been payed and no one ever worries much about it, third reason is the huge people count 2000 - 10000 typically, i just have to be very fresh, well slept, ready to concentrate and hitting 10% in money means you beat 9000 people, but that doesn't mean you are the top 10 best there and if you are not, thats great, you just have to be good enough to make it into top % not to be ripped skilled poker player like in other mods

I am just not quite sure if playing decently, later good, later even better, if these modes will bring the money back, takes one variable to change for you to end this game with 0$

I can just rephrase the question, which are the easiest places for decent player to make money ?, not huge money suddenly, any kind of positive score here can be, i am voting for multi table tourneys here, though nothing is easy in general

To add to what I wrote before, there is easy money out there. It comes from playing opponents against whom you are meaningfully +EV. But to do this, you need to build your game to where you have such an advantage at some buyin level.

Maybe easiest isn't the right question but I find DoNs to be best for me unless I'm on a table full of slow playing NITs and/or TAGs. Then you will find them to be a crap shoot as there may be one or two players with 10+ BBs with 8 left in the game. DoNs have a 50% ITM but it isn't much. If you can maintain a 80%+ win rate you will do good.

Nothing is easy though. GL

I think you should start playing 0.10$ SNG, 0.25$SNG and occasionally try to play satellites to tournaments. In my opinion the 0.10 SNG are a little bit easy , play tight and you go earn good money.

GG

IMO the closest you are going to get to "easy" would be low variance when just starting out, eventually as you improve and move through the stakes obviously lower stakes will look easier.

Nothing is easy. You have to start from the bottom if you ever want to be able to make money. I cant make money at this game consistently but for me its not about that anyway. Its about the thrill and rush of an insane cash hand or a super deep run in a tourney.

I think being profitable and being able to build a respectable roll is always about discipline. BR management/investment or you could bust just due to variance. So if you want to safely turn out a large chunk of money every month you have to be playing high enough stakes and also be rolled for it.

You need to find what your good at. Play smart and make great decisions. Get in cheap and put it in when you got it. Fold your weak hands to huge bets. Most dont bluff but watch for those that do and wait for your spot to get them. Play smart and youll be making easy money till the sites eats you alive with suckouts.

To make money playing poker is hard work. Study study study play study study study

To make money playing poker you have to work hard

Easiest way to make money in poker.

Play tight, like real tight. Fold a lot. Find weak players and then never bluff. Only bet when you think you have the best hand. If you bluff you are making a mistake. There isn't a "best site," so whatever site you are at is fine.

There you go. that is just about all you need to know to win at the lowest stakes.

I'll say it again, a little differently - because it really is pretty easy, even though you won't do it - play really tight (like find the tightest hand chart online you can). Fold everything else. bet and raise when you think you have a hand that is the best. Never bluff. If there are terrible players at the table that helps.

Easiest money in poker.

Being a reasonably attractive woman who offers drinks to the folks playing at the tables. They do pretty well for themselves in tips and its fairly low variance.

I would try that.

I like what Fredrik Paulsson said about this in his CC-article "8 poker lessons":

Learning how to beat poker takes time - a lot of time. In fact, likely more time than you can imagine. Being a fast learner is imperative, but even if you are you still will need plenty of time to soak up all the information you can in order to move forward. There are natural talents (Stu Ungar comes to mind), but they are very few and far between, and the likelihood of you being one of them is diminishingly small. The rest of us - myself included - have to work hard to reach a real understanding of how to play.
I want to give you an idea about the scale of what I'm talking about in terms of experience and understanding:

• Playing a hundred thousand hands.
• Reading ~3000 pages of poker books, some of them several times and a few of them many times.
• Spending about an hour for every three hours played analyzing the way you played certain hands.

This is how easy it will get I just discovered his posts and articles. Great stuff... lots of it can be found in the golden archive section.
In poker there is nothing as easy money as long as you haven't mastered the essentials and those essentials require way more in depth study than you might think.

One thing that can be easy in poker is losing money.

There's no easy money in Poker. All we can do is make the game easier for us by improving our plays and crushing the fish.

If you're just looking for a positive score, it seems sort of comical that you would pick MTT. Only 10% finish in the money, while everybody else loses (and finishes with a negative score).

Ultimately, as far as game type, you should play what you're best at (and what you like to play, etc etc). None of the actual games are easy, persay...you still have to play good poker.

Each and every day I'm reminded why I play almost exclusively freerolls.

I mean the beats are terrible and running bad is part of the game. As an example, I just lost 8 of my last 10 overpairs.

As for cash games, at low stakes the rake has taken its toll on my roll. And if I move up stakes, the regs eat me alive.

That being said, I could define myself as a winning loser. My roll goes up only because of freerolls and special site promotions.

I wish poker was easy but it is not! (For me at least)

Yeah, Gorak, like for me when I go any higher than $1/2 or $2/4 blinds, the regs eat me alive too

Actually it seems like a decent pick to me. Tournament play seems to attract a larger portion/percentage of bad players vs. cashgame play (especially in the micro/low buyins obviously).
Along with tournaments, you might also want to work at SNG's (whatever format you like, then put in the study & stick with that format) to keep the bankroll alive.

The more time you put in, you will soon see that there are loads of oppurtunities to win $'s (even if it is only small sums of money). There are TONS of really bad players online (in micros).

Sit and Go, or zoom 2$ 2 table maximum.I play poker for fun.When you think to make a lot of $ i will don't make nothing(my opinion).
