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.

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

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.

 

[antonis32123]

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

 

[terryk]

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.

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. :deal: $$$

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

 

[milka1605]

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.

 

[veloprofz]

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.

 

[GARCIA PABLO DANIEL]

hello

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

 

[moularaki]

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

 

[gonzalo1]

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 ...

 

[I Live Poker]

Dont tell me what to do :secruity:
Maybe i actually hate money

 

[I Live Poker]

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?

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

Maybe i actually hate money

it's true I've seen you sleep

 

[fullclock]

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.

 

[Risto234]

it's true I've seen you sleep

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
