what is the best way to make money quickly in poker?

Playing MTT or Cash game?

I ask them because a hand right cash game can give you a very favorable result, while the MTT u can hit several hands and in the end not out earning almost nothing.

There is no fast way to make money playing poker, unless you have a lot of experience and a lot of money and play high stakes. To answer your question though, cash is what you need to play to build a BR

Easier to earn money from a job than earning money playing poker.
Shoot be a dealer if playing poker is so important.

A cash game charges so much rake that the longer you sit at the tables, you get eaten up alive.

I make money faster playing MTT's. But what happens the weeks you only can put in 20 and 30 hour weeks. To make decent money may take 50 to 60 hour weeks. Would you have that kind of time?

I play tournaments that only cost two percent of my bankroll. Then you can survive bad streaks a little longer.

the best way to make money is to run your own home game and rake it ! just take a buck or two per pot , like they do in vegas .small stakes casino games here in Cali are prohibitively raked , like eberetta said ,and virtually impossible to beat long term . if you are a strong enough player to get in at 5/10 no limit or bigger , good luck to you . but in that case , you wouldn't be posting here .

High stakes cash tables is your option.
spin and go is fast enough too.
Be careful though.

forget about fast money.....almost everyone approaching the game with an attitude of making fast money is doomed to fail.
Study and play your best game and eventually the money will come, but almost always it's quite a slow process, no matter what you play.

I have my work and I believe that poker will not be my first source of income so early. The question I asked here was which way is best to make money in poker. Why if u hit a hand with a big stack, you can earn good money. A good example is what happened this week. I was in a tournament of $ 1.10 and I was playing almost four hours and won $ 7 awards. Soon after, I went to play cash game and grabbed a Chinese who moved all in with the flop of A 7 3. Being that I had AA. I paid $ 7 and won in less than 3 minutes. That's why I put this question.

I agree! It even took 2 to 3 years for me to make poker a profitable game. It was my mistake that I thought when I knew the rules and some strategies, the money would eventually come. I was wrong. Only after much of studying, playing alot, watching alot and becoming a good bankroll manager, that I could make real profit. For me, the profit comes out of MTT's, but that's because my focus in study was on that. And you need time, lots of time to make good profits in MTT's.

That's why I said you should take your time to make a good profit in MTT's. f.ex some of my results: 1,35 K.O. (7000 + entries) 5th place: more than 800 dollars + 50d bounties, time: around 10h., 1.1 KO (8000+ entries) 2nd place: 360+ dollar (bounties incluided), 9h played, 11 dollar (28 000+ entries): 16th: 900+ dollar, 10h

What I also do often, is playing some qualifiers to MTT's. F.ex. spending 2 dollar for a 22 dollar MTT and then the profit is real good. But again ... you need time, patience and commitment.

In the MTT's you have to go for the win (prices are real good on final tables). I love the difference in dynamics in all stages of the game.

That being said: if you are a regular player with small bankroll: love the game, don't look at the money, try to better yourself and if you're good the big win, with the money, will come to you.

The bigger the bankroll, the bigger the bye-in.
Which is also bigger wins and bigger loses too.

You gotta be good at poker to start with though.

playing year with spin&go+ko in hope it will be enriched... has led me to zero, to be exact to minus. it is possible to play, sometimes fast and good plus, but it is necessary to grow wiser will stop. you lose sides. best play quietly in tournaments.

Because he has the opportunity to observe what your movements are and to be able to predict your game where most of the times he is more likely to win

What I meant with the bankroll, is the bankroll management ... f.ex. I try to keep myself at the 1/100 'rule' so with a bankroll of 100 dollar, I play 1 dollargames or qualifiers for the bigger ones. I make exceptions for specials events where prices are better. IMO, if you're not being capable to qualify, it means you're probably not good enough for the bigger stakes, of course depending on the specific characteristics of the qualifier.

So I don't think with a bigger bankroll the buy-in's should be higher ... it depends on how you want to play/what you're willing te spend/what you want to do with your money.

F.ex. I have a rather small income, so when I make a big win, I put 90% to my bank account and invest the rest in poker. That way the game stays safe for me. If my income would be bigger and I had alot of savings, I would invest more of my winnings into poker. Now it's an extra part of my income.

Fast in relative, but you can play freerolls and risk all the money you gain in MTT shots, for example

making fast money equals to gambling. SnG is the perfect option for that.

I understand (agree with) your first quote, but I'm not sure why SnG's are the best option for that? Why should you gamble more in sit and go's? I'm not an expert in SnG. I play them once in a while, but it's not my experience that more gambling is involved. Are you referring to specials SnG's maybe?

Like so many others foretold before me , I also don't think there is a quick way to win quick money in poker , neither by MTT nor by cash , you have to be patient , study a lot , and step by step with good bankroll management and decipline , you'll eliminate the leaks on your game , you're gonna advance stake levels and buy ins in cash games and MTTs , you are to face most importantly many downswings of many bad beats , so a lot of work has to be done , it's not a piece of cake . Somebody might say cash games are easier than MTTs as they don't have the variance of them of course , but still you have to take into consideration a lot of factors and you really have to be very good to achieve to advance levels and play higher stakes of cash games and earn big money some day . :)

The strategy in SnG is to bluff as much as you can, especially when you don't have cards. The amount of chips is just so small (500 in PS) and skills are not the main factors to win here. Oh, and i'm talking about Spin & Go :p

If we knew that, everyone would be doing it. ( though we can't all do that at the same time)
