Yes it is high risk but you can control how much your exposed and take calculated risks nobody forces a player to click that register button for 50 or 100% of their bankroll for example.

For those who really love poker, no investment is required. Poker is a game that should primarily bring you pleasure. If you only think about money, then you will only get losses.

I think poker is a medium to high risk investiment, but that can give you a very good return on investment if you play with bankroll management.

the risk is high but it decreases if you manage your blanckroll well in the long term. anyway it is always less risky than roulette or another game of chance in which we have no control.

I guess poker is risk higher than your knowlege. If you have a lot you can play without risk, but if you dont know nothing you are a lot of risk.

The level of risk in poker depends on how important the money you have invested in the game is to you. If this is the only way to earn money, then of course the risk will be high, and if this is a hobby and a way to have fun, then of course the risks are not so great.

As for the gameplay, you can play everything with any hand.

I don't think you have a chance in poker if you risk your money, You have to play only you can afford. When you play only you can afford , you can bluff and go all in with 23 for example, when you risk your money, more than you can afford to lose you will have emotion even when you call with a AA and that will affect your game.

Poker is a high profit only from a good investment. This is my purely subjective opinion. Well, of course, a lot depends on the player, a good theoretical base, the accumulated experience of nuances in the draw of hands and strong logical thinking. And much more.

Given the high degree of luck and variance that exists in poker, I think that bankroll and time management are just as important, if not more so, than the play itself. To answer the question, it's very high risk.

I would say that it is a high risk investment, because there is a lot of variable. But in the long term, with a good study and patience, it will be profitable.

Poker is a medium risk, how you play is the variable. If your choice is to learn and put into practice what you learn, then it can somewhat of a low risk. But if you ignore all teaching and choose not to learn from mistakes, then it is a very high risk endeavor.

It depends on the player and the format he plays. If we talk about players who have consistently been winners in a huge sample, I'd say it's not much of a risk.

poker regulars searched and are looking for where to invest cryptocurrency money and other topics, there are those who create schools and pools, my opinion is that poker is dying, see how many rooms and networks have closed or closed the poker direction

I respect your opinion but I don't think poker is an investment, you want to invest invest in the stock exchange. Poker is a game where you play or for recreation, or as a hobby or professionally, there is no way to be an investment because there is nothing right, so much so that in all three ways you can win or lose money. But the person who dedicates himself and studies and who really wants to be a professional can get there :top::top:

High risk if you don't want to study the game and still bet more than you are prepared to lose

You can play freerolls with no risk at all. The risk depends on your aim. If you wanna earn money it's really risky but if you play because you love it and it's like a hobby for you you can play without risk

It really depends on your skill level, and how quickly you are trying to make money. The better you are, the lower the risk. And the more patient you are, the slower you will make money, but also the lower the risk.

High risk investment if you aren't a pro.
