It was easier to play 5-6 years ago in poker when very few people knew other disciplines, unlike hold'em, you could make a good penny yourself.

It's true, about 5 years ago my bankroll went up considerably.

It is not a great decision to make unless you are a very very good poker player.

Most players forget that only 10-20% of poker players make a profit - that means most of us will not fall into that category long term - even if we are good.

Obviously I'm with you because you're absolutely right. In poker there are quality and quantity of players.

But whoever wants to profit must become obsessed. Poker is much more. It is not the case of a job where you can disconnect, because as you evolve so much and so constantly you have to obsess, you have to spend much of the day playing, thinking, reviewing, debating poker to be there.

If you are willing to put a lot of you, maybe you can make a living. The same results will tell you whether you are good or not for this.

Poker will not be able to provide you with income immediately, if at all this happens.
Work, work and work.

A long-term project. Nobody should see it with immediacy, so it does not work.

I completely agree with you!
Now in poker rooms you can see different contingents, many of which do not observe the rules of decency and elementary rules of behavior at the gaming table - youth is stupid, no respect for others, spoil the beauty of this

Poker players can not be afraid of hard work. To have a chance to win in big, poker players must gather as much experience as they can, play as many hands as possible, and be prepared to study beyond the basic rules, as well as take advantage of any learning opportunities that are presented; Accept that from time to time you will lose. Becoming a good poker player requires time and dedication, ability to interpret the emotions of others and a special audacity when it comes to betting. In short, the best poker players are also the most determined, but it's never too late to improve your game.

It's no longer enough to be a good poker player. With the increasing popularity of online poker, casino applications and events taking place on the net, there are more and more people who try their luck in this popular pastime, forcing those already at the table to try harder to Stay on top.

Be careful if you decide for this way of life. Many sharks in a small sea! :eating:

There are many tools that help players perfect their game which has made this a much more competitive game nowadays.

But Poker is booming and so are the new players who enter day by day, just like the usual players who invest their money for fun.

Be cautious, true to your strategy. Do not be desperate to make a profit in a short time. The results will be given.

Exactly, we all agree. That is why this article focuses on the people who have taken this consideration. There are many things to keep in mind, it is not as simple as some believe.

Yes, it is very difficult to play poker in a plus. To do this you need to work very hard and constantly learn. But if there is a desire, then everything is attainable. Good luck!

Never be satisfied or assume that you already know everything. The best thing about poker is that it never stops, and there is always something new to pay attention to.

Yes, Poker should be seen as a hobby or an additional source of income. If the day arrives in which you connect an abysmal prize that serves you to give you a good life, you will be able to see things in another way. Therefore, stay focused working and learning each day a little more.

I agree with you on this, however the rooms igo to still fill on a Friday and Saturday night and that's when you can catch players that are gambling more than playing ABC poker. I think timing and patience are two very important traits along with game selection. But yes, the moneymaker days are long gone

I would think of poker more like a business. You can have a bad month and lose money just like if you started your own business. When things go good, It can go really good. Make your own hours prepare for possible loses and put yourself in a position to profit. It's not a guaranteed paycheck, but I would rather be my own boss then work in the labor field imo.

I do not know the current situation in the United States regarding Poker. I have heard of some restrictions and so forth. Here at the moment there will be a restriction due to a tax issue.

Yes, I currently manage it as an additional income, although honestly Poker gave me the facility to work freelance mode.
