One thing you should know. Poker is a fun game but it should never be a source of income. So don't think you are smart and save your money before you regret it.

I never put my credit card on on internet but sometime i buy prepaid card and put on site and when i have it i have to do tournament because on cash game i"m not patient to do cash but on tournament its not the same ......

If your just starting out I know from experience digging your way out of freerolls is possible, but not easy and takes forever. Maybe set a limit on what you play cause you can make quite a bit online with only 20 dollars playing as best you can. You make money over time not right away. You would be surprised how you can make a few thousand playing for 2 dollars at a time. Be smart and learn money management.

I don't really agree with your statement as I believe poker can be a source of income, but for the players who don't want to invest their own money to play, there are plenty of freerolls to start a bankroll.

It is right for englishfunplayers and 95% of this forum but not say it for all

I do not agree, a good player with good bank and limit management will result in benefits but that entails a lot of study and control the limits, there are always freerolls to achieve an important bank and it is not so difficult to achieve it

Dont tell me what to do
Maybe i actually hate money

poker is large part gambling. also large part skill, with luck sprinkle in like birthday cake at mom house. just is what is ok?

Hi, personally, I have not made a living in poker, but I disagree with the statement that poker cannot be the only source of income if you devote enough time to the game to win, and let's say your weekly win is equal to your salary, isn't it a means of earning money?

I understand that you have fun while playing, but in addition to fun, there may be some gains, and in terms of losses you must be moderate.

I believe the most good option is just to make money on something else and play freerolls or low buy-ins sometimes. In this way you will feel comfortable and not loose your nerves by the poker. Also you will take the joy from the game, because i don,t think, that people, who are playing poker everyday for many hours still can enjoy it.
I can,t enjoy the game in any way, just because i already playing it for 10 years and sometimes soft can kill you for many months and you need to keep patience.

I disagree, a lot of people, including me, make money with poker.

I completely understand your burden.
We are here suffering in these empty life shells
and money is just another distraction driving us away from the Enlightenment.
But it does not have to be this way, brother.

Let me help you to ease your pain

Investing in poker has a good return, especially since in the long run it all depends on the skills of a player.

Well I think that it depends on your attitude towards the game. if you want a get-rich-quick type of thing, then yup, just save your money and move on to something else. But if you put in an effort and think carefully about how you played your recent hands and study, then there is every reason to expect positive results, which would build up to a good , regular income

I'm not agree with you !!! It's all about how you feel about playing poker !!! If you perceive poker as an exciting game just for fun, then, of course, it cannot be a stable source of income !!! But if you work on your game every day, improve it and follow all the rules of maintaining a bankroll, then the profit from playing poker can become stable !!!

Never put YOUR money in! That's a golden rule for me. Also there are bunch of people making a good income by playing poker, so I disagree on that one.

I agree with
0546474 (legend).I said everything correctly, I wrote it. I have friends.They play professionally and earn good money on poker.

So it really is. The poker rooms themselves make it clear that your account funds are only for the game.

I agree with your comment, Barakatna. Amateur players especially should be aware that it is too risky to try to make poker a source of income.

Ha ha! Tell this to my family, who for the last 10 years has been living only on my income from playing poker!

Hello, I will not agree with you that poker cannot remain the main source of income, many people who play on a regular basis or professionals who earn poker, just I think it is not given to everyone, just do not need to overestimate their strength and skills! In order for poker to become the main source of income for you, you need to work a lot on the game, and of course you need a sound understanding of when and how much you lose and be able to stop on time, do work on mistakes! But I may not be right, but this is my opinion and I can express it! It's just that I think poker can be the main source of income, but for this you need to do a lot of things, and not just play! I wish everyone good luck and play responsibly!

I hope I can join freerolls in cardschat soon. I think I can make good money in playing poker.

Poker is an investment. If you invest money there plus your time and develop constantly, it will all pay off, but at the same time, as in any investment, you can burn out.

Hi.
I agree with you. However, I believe that the key to saving money is the discipline and responsibility of the player. If you are disciplined and responsible, you will always follow the bankroll management, and in that case your money is safe.
Good luck.

in solidarity with the topikstarter
my biggest mistake in life was to quit my job for poker

If you play free tournaments then you don't need to know anything ...

Hello.
For me, poker is a hobby, not a source of income. I think poker can only be a source of income for professional players. But while poker is a hobby for me, my hobby still brings me income.

Are you calling me a fun player.... Looks at my stats.... Oh drats, I am a fun player... Looks around, phew no has seen me in here, quietly walks out.

Only a small per cent of players make a 'notable' income. The majority of players lose.

However that does not mean even those playing mostly free rolls , if exercising bank roll management, cannot earn 'income'.

There is no rule in poker saying anyone has to play high stakes and invest heavily but there are those that play the lowest stakes and enjoy taking their poker seriously....and technically generate an income.

Never be a source of income ?? That sounds strange , why play if not for profit , at least on the long run .

Says someone who doesn't have the game to be able to make money playing poker,,,some of us can and do,make money playing poker. $$$

I disagree about making poker a source of income. There are many people who have made poker their primary source of income. It might not happen for everybody, but there are those dedicated to the game that profit from week to week. I personally play for fun and will never make more than a job or my retirement. That being said there have been many weekends I came home from the casino with multiple thousands of dollars playing grinding cash games. It may not have been a "primary" source, but it definitely has padded my wallet in times of need. I will stick to playing live for the big strike and play for the enjoyment of tournament play in the comfort of my home.

I like to play with a very small amount of my funds. That way it remains fun and doesn't break the bank.. ever!

Although they are in the minority, some people make a great living from making money at poker. We who are not that level, can at least be so wise not to waste money competing with those much better than ourselves. Let’s be aware of our class and adjust our buy-ins to it.

I do not agree, a good player with good banking and limit management will result in benefits but that entails a lot of study and control of the limits

Poker is an opportunity to make yourself free. So, if u relate to this game with respect, u ll be lucky one day to win a great prize

I do not consider my poker game to be a profitable article in my life. This is only a small part of my profit. But if I played on cash tables, I would definitely lose money.

I follow several players in tournaments, there are players who make money with it, but I only play for what I win and do not make a deposit.

Old saying goes, you can't steal second, with your foot on first. No risk no reward.

I totally agree, you have to know how to invest and manage your money and not be bankrupt.

winning may happen one day. Once you have a bankroll, it's harder to build it

Saving is fine, but if you don't know how to manage your money is the same as wasting it ... people want to generate income with poker at least IF they know how to manage their money, or so I hope ...

it doesn't have that stability that you imagine even playing the GTO you can spend months losing it's a high variation investment so if you have enough money to handle it you might win the variance

Forgive me, i can't agree with you.
Try playing poker without money and you will soon realize that you don't find fun in it. It is the money which creates thrill, suspense, action, drama and fun. And if you understand poker well then it might become a source of income for you.

never true, the amount varies, but many make money
we are a freeroll site where you can make $500 to a $1000 a year.
if you lose it all trying to make more you haven't lost anything

I do not understand your question! Poker is a game that can be profitable and you know how to be smart. The advice is that you don't gamble the money you can't spend. Never tell anyone that they cannot go for their dreams of winning a giant tournament. Hopefully some of us all take the big leap and change their lives.

I believe not a single cardchat game in american sites does not start earlier than 02:00 for me therefore in these probably aint bad option specially as usually this is still enough for leaderboard point ...

There are pro´s, which are winning longterm
There are amateurs, which might be losing longterm, however, its their hobby and every hobby costs money. As long as you are not addicted or cant afford. easy
