I believe that you can earn how much you fight for, for example, by dedicating yourself to studying and reading about the sport and watching tournaments for great players to learn how to play each situation at each stage of a tournament.

I haven't won't anything close to what you've won.
But I like to.think.of it like this.
Anything I put into this game I am not.willing.to at the same time of putting it.into the site. But I already count on it dissappearing the very second I.put it into it.
That way if I win anything it's completely bonus and I'm not upset from loosing or letting it ride.

In poker it is difficult to maintain a monthly profit number, because the variance is hard, some months you will make money, and other months you will lose money.

Hello friend, it is time for you to take stock of how much you have invested and how much you have won, however, with a good tournament that you win and with good administration you can play quietly for a while.

You can win a few thousand off one site in just one month with very little initial deposit but of course, the more the spend through investment the more reward... you can make 200 a day just playing satellites and playing until you win a big multi table final table you have you have to be a great poker player and devote a lot of time to be very profitable

Since I don't play often and I think that I'm not a professional player, I managed to win$100-500. And a player of the usual level, it is almost impossible for him to win a major tournament.

How long is a piece of string?
It is impossible to say how much money you can earn from Poker, even as a recreational player it all depends on how much time, money, and hard work you put into it.
You will never make any money if you are not willing to study the game, and practice playing, then study more,
Many people think it is "Money for Nothing" playing Poker, but it is a hard game to master, Doyle Brunson often says it takes 5 minutes to learn and a lifetime to master, and no truer words were ever said about the game.
I have been playing for over 20 years and still will never play in a World Poker Tournament, not because I cannot afford it, but the Idea of playing for 5 or 6 days, just does not appeal to me. I like to enter a game knowing it will all be over within a single day.
I never play more than one game at a time, not because I fear playing multi-tables, far from it! I did that years ago and found it hard work to concentrate on more than one game at a time.
Poker is a hobby for me, a little bit of fun that I enjoy, some people will go to a Football match or Baseball game, I would rather watch paint dry, it's less boring! You have to find things that appeal to you personally, for me it is Poker! because I can take part, and be part of it. Watching someone else having fun is not my thing.

When the fun Stops, STOP!

It also depends on how much money and time you invest in it... I usually play freeroll. But I spend money once a month. The last time I sat in on a euro Hexapro for fun. It was 10 euros
I still won. It's a plus you're more courageous in investing in, because even if you fail, you're where you started... most people want as much as possible after a profit. And, of course, he's going to fail, and then he's got nothing... You have to be able to admit when to stop playing. ��Always investing so much that it's not a shame if you fail

It is easier to ask me how much rebuys I can pay.

Well then it depends a lot on the player if for a conscious player who doesn't go crazy with his bankroll I for example play sit go max for 1 dollar and every month I take profit between 100 and 200 dollars

I've been playing poker for a couple of years and I've always found good and bad hands in the same way, I can't always give time to play, because of my work, but even when I can play well the profit is always minimal, and I'm not a professional, but I know that a person who spends more time playing could win more than what I win, it is possible but even so it will not always be a novice, someday playing improves the game even if you don't study.

Whenever, if you wish, you can earn 500 dollars a month as an amateur, or you can earn 50. Much depends on the discipline where you play, your bankroll and, of course, the time you devote to the game.

As a recreational player you can win as every player can win, including the professionals, as long as you do wise moves.

I am convinced that even a non-professional player can consistently make 1-2 thousand dollars a month. But for this you need to play every day, for 8-10 hours a day.


If you play at this rate does it not automatically make you a professional? I don't think you would find time doing anything else. Whether you're winning or losing is a different story...

Depends

Well, that definitely depends on several factors....how much you think is a lot of money and what your definition of recreational is! Recreational players can definitely make a big score by winning a huge-field tournament :)

Not so much to be honest. I started like 2 weeks ago with 1,5$ playing whenever i feel like on pokerstars. Now I am at 17$ and trying to get to 25$ which is 100 buy-ins in tournaments that I play. I woudn't consider playing poker for a living even if I could win big.

You can make a lot of money or you can't make any money at all ... be so inexperienced that you don't make any money.

I am not trying to win much money.....The best I do is win some bitcoin and it has grown a lot since I have won some. Hopefully, it stays the way it has been going. I enjoy the play more than the money..

there is no way of knowing how much we can earn, it will depend on each one of us how much is dedicated to achieving results more often

It completely depends on how you handle your own bankroll and how you have enough patience to continue playing qualitatively.

I play SnG and tournaments myself with a deposit of up to 10 euros. I pay about 100 euros per month and that is my profit for a nice hobby. My pitfalls are when I lose a lot that I sometimes try to win back my loss with a high investment. And you should avoid that and especially not because then almost the entire bankroll can be empty!

No one can seriously answer that, because there is no right answer, just as answering a question on how much you can earn from Poker or any form of gambling, is impossible to answer, It all depends on how much hard work You are willing to put into it.
Poker can be learned in 5 minutes, to play well, could take a lifetime, It all depends on how much time you are willing to spend, Studying, and Practicing, then Studying and Practicing some more, and even when you can make a living from the game, You still have to work at it, because Poker is always Evolving and changing, and as we are all Humans, We have times when we forget things and you have to revisit them again and again.

When the fun Stops, STOP!
