even the wisest of poker players is unlikely to name an exact figure, but one thing is indisputably important without luck there is nothing to do in poker

Comes down to your buy-in. Could you buy in for $100K and win a million, sure. Most of us are in it for a way to pass the time, and maybe make enough to buy a beer.
I always raise an eyebrow to people that think they can pay the bills with gambling, eventually, you will get in trouble.
Your odds are probably better at making a career in the NBA or NFL, as there are more star positions with million dollar contracts *grin*

ofcourse, small stake games are not enough for fortune but it can give good experience and we are good to go from this experience. Important thing is to keep on winning consistently and it will surely take your total winning to next level.

It takes a lot of effort, study, patience and other things, to win a fortune is to think of a great tournament and I would not focus on that, the important thing is to collect several times and thus achieve a lot of money, also be aware that 100 times that you play a tournament only around less than 20% you will enter into payments

Hello everybody!
There is always a chance of winning, I once read a note from one woman who won two million dollars, she writes that at the beginning of the tournament she was knocked out, she had to run to the bank to put money on the card to continue the game, and then she dreamed of getting into 100 winners, but it turned out that she took first place in the tournament. And for me personally, the key to success is a good mood and a little luck, yesterday in a good mood I took first place in the resurrected freeroll at pokerstars, and I wish everyone the same.
Best regards, Sergei.

Play for play money is a completely different game, even playing freerolls is different from the game you yourself have invested in! when you yourself invested your money, you are afraid of losing it and sometimes you limit yourself in some moments, but everything comes with experience! Play Cardschat freerolls and you will understand the difference between regular freerolls and Cardschat freerolls! Freerolls Cardschat is as close as possible to a regular game, here people take the game seriously and appreciate the opportunity to participate in these freerolls! Communicate here on the forum with people and you will find answers to your questions! I wish you only good and good luck in all your endeavors!

Rightly said. But some time bluff also works for you.

Yes true. We can never be dependent on it but we can only make some extra money from this.

True, patience is equally important. so in 20% chance, we have to make it count the most.

Coming to the mood, even if we start in good mood and win some but it can not stay like that as winning is not permanent and as soon as your luck dies not support you than you will feel frustrated and cannot control your emotion.

In fact, I only play online, in the evenings, after work. As for skills improvement, we have a great free course designed by real professional players. I highly recommend this course to you.

Pretty good if your "fortune" is a few dollars in freerolls, but statistically not so good if it is millions of dollars as a poker playing career. It all depends on how one defines "fortune."
As for the chance of being a "winning player" this is different. Like with most things, if you put in the time to study and improve etc. then winning should come inevitably assuming certain factors are in place. Those factors would include (but perhaps not limited to)...
- bankroll management
- Table selection
- Work on eliminating tilt before you get to the tables or manage it (once the heat of the moment consumes you, forget it - the tough way is to get to the root of the tilt and find healthy ways of addressing this BEFORE it happens)
- Finding a game you can beat consistently (connected to table selection, but more than just finding players you can beat because of other factors like rake - you might be one of the better players in the game, but you'll still be a "loser" if the game is rigged to the point of being unbeatable, or too little of an edge to you)
- Volume: once you find a beatable game, you need to play it a lot. A player at "pro" ability will only be a small winner if they play once a year, but a decent winning player might surpass them by playing almost every day.

This is true, but you are looking at this from a long-term perspective like career pros tend to do. In the long-term it is almost all skill and no luck...but in the short-term variance it is much more luck and less skill.
I feel like variance is over-talked about if anything, yet under-grasped by many; it is paradoxically talked about a ton, but often misunderstood in practice. Even if you play one MTT each week for a year, that is only 52 MTTs per year and this is susceptible to a lot of variance. Conversely, over an entire poker pro career, the variance balances and it is primarily all skill
As with most things in life, one can improve if willing to invest the time and effort to do so...but many may not realize just how MUCH time and effort real improvement requires. It is by no means impossible and by all means reachable, but it won't be a walk in the park
As a "newer" poker player, I've never been to a casino, but my year or so of cardschat freerolls and online cardschat events has given me something
When the pandemic ends, I'd like to play at a casino and see how I like the experience - perhaps I might become a regular there but the nearest one is a little over an hour drive away from where I live (not as far as some people, but not ideal)True, but even freerolls and microstakes can add up
You are correct though, any "substantial" amount requires slightly higher buy-ins and bankroll.Agreed
Just about anything is possible to improve at if one invests enough time and effort into, but it is no secret that some things come more naturally to some and that time isn't infinite for us on this earth - we only get to go around once ya know?

Thanks for such detail advice. I will also do the cards chat course and try to implement learnings in my own game.

Yes truely said, one can have luck and than learn some better skills to improve than he/she can become really pro,
