Hi

Hello friend, you are right, you always have to think of poker as a distraction, and if you have to save to be able to have money in the future.

taking gambling as a source of income is a serious mistake. We all know that there will be more losses than gains, I am not saying that there are no good stages, but I do say that most of the time we will lose.

Absolutely. You have to be incredibly good at a sport/game to be able to make a living and even moreso with poker when you have to pay the operators of the game their cut. It's akin to mini-tour golf where you are playing for 80% of the money you paid instead of the PGA Tour where you are playing for much much more than you pay in (actually zero entry fee there).

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 am in agreement with you on this topic, Poker is for fun and always should be approached with a good sense of sensibility, Why would anyone risk their entire bankroll on a single game, every good gambler, on the stock market or even on horse racing always edge their bets so that if they lose, then their 2nd choice can give them a return on their money, and can mean the difference between breaking even or losing the lot.
When I had a habit on the horses I would study the form and try to predict 1st and 2nd place only so that in some instances if my 1st choice went down, my second choice could make either 1st or a place and betting on them as an each-way bet would give me my money back at the minimum.
Sometimes I would even bet them both as a reverse forecast if I felt they were good enough to beat the rest of the field, and made a lot of money on these type of bets, some days I would bet on around half the races, other days if my intuition told me to back off, I would walk away without placing a single bet, and it is the same with Poker if I am in the mood for playing I will play for around 8 or 9 hours, other days I might just stick to the CC free-rolls, whatever happens I know I can come back and play whenever I want because I will not risk everything on one Game.
Poker is not my choice of making a living, I did my hard work years ago and planned for the future when I could choose whether to work or relax, thankfully I planned right and now can relax without having to work.
Retired and spending my Kids Inheritance. Ha! Ha!

When the fun Stops, STOP!

Poker is a game and it is good for everyone to play with so much money that they are not afraid to lose. :rolleyes:

poker is a very addictive game, if you don't have control you end up without a penny in your pocket.be smart and play just for fun and maybe even win some.

income and out-flow..

All poker players, pro, amateur; doesn't matter. You don't always win, same as a baseball batter. 1 out of 3 is great for baseball hitting; same with poker. If you even win half of the time, you're lucky.
summing up, poker is more likely a use of funds. Occasionally, it is a source of funds.

personal opinion... personal choice. If you gonna do something, do it well, or you gonna be cast out. That's with any job. What "should" and "shouldn't" is a personal opinion.

Poker is about having fun. I have not spent any money on this and never will.
freerolls build my cash reserve and then use it to play in other games.
Don't spend your money, only the poker site makes money, don't think you can beat them.

I am not one to tell others what to do when it comes to their enjoyment . . . Everyone knows you are more likely to lose when you gamble than win and everyone knows the only true winner when it comes to gambling is the house . . .

To be honest gamblers must quit. It is sick to play with them: endless all-ins, hilarious raises and etc

Great advice! If you are not a shark, you will be feeding them.

Opinion

The idea that poker is the same casino comes to me more and more often.

I don't agree with you, you can make better money in poker than at normal work

If you believe poker is purely down to luck, then you right.

if you believe there is some skill, then you are not.

Well said. But there are players who make money with poker, and as far as I know, at almost all limits.
Personally, about myself, I will not say that this is my income, but I would like to))).

I have been playing poker for more than four years. And I'm in the black in every poker room. The fact is that I am not a hobby player, but a professional. And I'm going to earn even more!!!

Do you know of an online site that posts their weekly/monthly WTSD statistics, broken down by the the hole cards involved? A site like Cheat on Line or Bet on Lies scams it so you can't get ahead by playing proper poker, imo. KK is a coin flip vs TT on Cheat on Line and Bet on Lies, so your question would have to be more specific imo.

Limits

Set limits to be safe and enjoy. Most hobbies cost something and there are very few that have a ROI for your bank. Set a monthly limit and you will be safe as to not interfer with living conditions for you and your family. Capo1014
