Do you think that anyone can make money playing poker, even if they have no experience ?

[Falai_san]

I am waiting to read your answers and opinions on the subject

 

[dannystanks]

Sure! You’re better off playing with players at your level or worse than your level. Keep that in mind, that and try to play those big pots in position! Good luck!

 

[KevinRBTV]

Definitely with luck.
But in the long run, experience and ability will prevail

 

[Luvepoker]

You could do well and win cash in a tournament but long term you really can't win with no experience.

 

[benitwapasu]

Yes play freerolls and learn which are the best freerolls to play. Hard to lose money that way.

 

[YLAN]

No. Luck can just carry you so far but skill from experience will carry you through the long haul to the money.

 

[Tadi]

No, money can not be earned without experience, skill and learning, and it is also necessary to be lucky.

 

[SopianaeExtra]

Absolutely not.

 

[muzenza2012]

I don't think it's possible, because even if the player is lucky in many hands, there will be an hour when he will lose. so it is necessary to be lucky, of course, but mainly, around 80%, knowing how to play your hands and use your cards well

 

[airxlns]

Even when playing freerolls you will encounter experienced players, but it's the place to start your journey and develop your future strategies.

 

[gon4iypes]

Not at all....it's a bit like thinking you could get lucky and win a F1 race when you only have a standard driving licence. You need to learn the ropes first

 

[Gallarado777]

if you don't have experience, I think you'll win a couple of tournaments with one luck, that's for sure, but it'll happen so rarely that you'll lose a lot of money to a lot of streamers who love poker but play badly, but sometimes they win even though they play very bad. Here's an example

 

[Pokerpoet2]

If you want to make a living from Poker the only way to learn is by first reading books and watch a few videos to get a grasp of the rules and then start playing! Playing thousands upon thousands of hands is the only way to learn.
CC Freerolls are perhaps the best way to start, as these will cost nothing to play and the rewards are great, but before you start going to a Casino or playing in some other Live event Try winning a few Tournaments outright, and build a small bankroll.
The most important aspect when playing any poker game is being in control of your Bankroll. There is no use believing that if you win $50 Dollars in a Free-roll you can buy into a $50 game and win again, IT NEVER HAPPENS!
My personal choice is 1% of my Bankroll for any game I want to buy into, It is easy maths to work out and if you should lose a few games it is not going to bust you down to nothing and you have to start back at square 1.

Good Luck!

If you are still new to poker then you may believe that it is an easy matter to get big money very quickly but I think then you should better play the lottery and you might have more chance of getting the big money. Nevertheless, I believe that it is possible that someone without practical experience is lucky and can win a big win in a tournament. But it is as it was said before me that you can not only rely on luck in poker, even if luck plays a major role, it is not enough to be and remain successful in the long run

 

[steve01991]

In the long run, NO, there are only a handful of elite players that can make a living playing poker. it is more expensive than you think. As a hobby, sure, if you play many freerolls and have any skill.

 

[gupiel0k69]

As @benitwapasu said, actually yes. If you are only playing freerolls you can actually win some money even as an non-experienced player

 

[fernandofcp]

Everything is possible in poker. But in the long run, an inexperienced gambler makes money but loses more than he wins. A player with no poker experience tends to make a lot of mistakes in the moves, so for this player, luck must prevail. Very difficult to earn money relying only on luck.

 

[johnnylawford]

I think someone with a strong logical mindset could easily make money without experience as long as they understand the rules of the game and can think through the 'why' of each decision. Most of the value in microstakes comes from consistently making better basic decisions than your opponents, so as long as someone can think through the 'why' of what they're doing they'll print in low stakes.

 

[hardongear]

In my opinion and 15 years experience. Depends if you have some amount of skills/abilities(listed below). If one does it's at least possible to make money at micro/low stakes online...
1) Mental toughness
2) Bankroll management
3) Patience
4) Discipline
5) Study a bit
If a person has some amount of all them 4 things he stands an ok chance at micro/low stakes cash even if he isn't really that good a player. At least in my 15 years experience. I'm nothing special and can win at micro/low stakes. Winning means actually withdrawing and spending the money on other things besides poker.

One thing for sure it certainly harder for a complete noob. I just switched from playing MTT's for many years back to cash. I honestly found the switch pretty easy and smooth. I think my years of playing experience helped greatly even when most them were playing MTT's. The biggest part of a Holdem hand is played post-flop and post-flop is hard learn and get good at. This is where experience matters most in my opinion.

My advice for a noob just starting out. Use google and find some preflop charts. Using charts for preflop will help you as a noob and in my opinion learning post-flop first is more important because most the hand will be played post-flop. So any studying try doing it on post-flop play. Also playing a TAG style while using charts preflop. It will help keep things simple, put you in less bad spots post-flop and should help make post-flop decisions as easy as they can be made.

Once you get comfortable, have better understanding of poker, some experience/know the player pool and move up in stakes you can expand your preflop ranges/game a bit from the charts and build your own pre-flop and post-flop game strategy/playing style.

Good luck at the tables and don't afraid to give poker a go even if you're not a winning player and the next Stu Ungar. Plenty of people spend money on hobbies they'll never have a chance of winning at. Just keep your poker hobby affordable and have a good time playing.

EDIT: Another thing I'd strongly recommend for noob player is if playing online find a site that offers 2nl and full ring games(8-9 player tables). Start there. That's as cheap as you can get experience, as easy a player pool you will find and the blinds come around just a bit slower. Which means you'll feel less rushed to play hands.


Cheers!!!

Well, experience will always be good to have... but it is not conditional... you will always find many players without any experience, for that reason if you are a beginner it puts you in the same condition... however, what you should have is a defined strategy... that would help you achieve success in poker...

 

[hobojim1247]

Kind of a rediculous question but i will answer it with a question. Can an inexperienced person make money as a plumber, electrician or chef? how about a surgeon?

 

[gena31]

Definitely no, it can't. You can win by chance, but this is the same as winning a large amount in the lottery.Playing poker is not a type of income. Even the most famous poker players have a main job

 

[044hero]

Through thorns to the stars) I am inclined to believe that a person can always do much more than he thinks and imagines)

 

[Risto234]

Why not. After all you should gain experience through playing ...

 

[louuu19]

Definitely! In the short run luck is a big factor playing poker, you can win your very first cash games sessions or get payed on your first tourneys, but to win on the long run without improving your game is quite impossible
