It's not hard to make 1K/month playing poker consistently. However you need to be able to match your ROI with the stakes you play and play enough games to make that work out. If you have a 10% ROI, you would need to play in $10,000 worth of buy-ins each month. If you can only beat the micros, that's a lot of $3.30 tournaments (3000). Variance (run good and run bad) is a thing, so keeping within your bankroll is not optional.

I think it's possible. But it needs some conditions. One of'em is like 'A pool of full of fish to support you'.

Anything that has the word gambling attached to it,cannot guarantee a constant and stable income.Variation or say bad run,will occure thats unavoidable.
Having a decent bankroll,steel nerves and discipline will help you achieve stability.

Always wondered if I spend half a year of time on poker, will I have a chance to earn my living from 1000 $ a month ?? I've been playing for five years as an amateur, nothing works out (
If this sentence were true, everyone would play poker as a way to earn income and live while having fun.

Income will never be stable, since this is a game with a high luck factor. There is also risk of losing money. If you preferr a stable income its better to get a job and play poker as a hobby

It is possible, but most do not manage to achieve it. You have to be aware that odds are not on your side in pursuit of that.

It’s all about building a bankroll

The best way to improve your game and build a bankroll is tournaments. Free rolls are best if you’re just starting out especially during this holiday season they have a lot of them out there. But of course It takes money to make money and the life changing tournaments have pretty high entry fees.

I think it can be a stable income, just on how you manage your bankroll. Also there are low buy in sit n gos, to make it to the big buy in tournaments. All it takes, is to take down one big buy in tournament. With some luck ,anyone can win a big buy in tournament. I always play in sit n gos, to play in big buy in tournaments. I will never pay full price, just me.

Sorry for the trivial answer: if you work on the game and devote 8-10 hours a day to the game and training, you may be able to reach the level you want. If not quality, then quantity, but in this case 12-16 hours of grinding:)

You might as well ask "Can you get a stable income from the Stock Market?"
Simple answer, No! they are both forms of gambling the only difference is trading in stocks and shares has a better reputation than Poker.
Everything in Life comes with it's risk's.
I have tried both and honestly, neither is worth risking your pension on.

Naturally possible, but for this time you need at least 8 hours of free time a day and so that no one distracts you ...

Wow tricky question, I would have to say yes if you stick with the fundamentals and do not play all or nothing. All or nothing is a great way to get instantly wealthy if you hit it, or go broke trying.

For it to be a stable income, it is necessary to invest to become a professional, studying, taking courses in professionals, only in this way we become something in stable income

It's very difficult to have a profit playing for your poker money. A very small percentage of players know how to do this. You need a lot to learn. That's why I chose an easier way to make money and play only freerolls. Although it is not big. But I know for sure that I will not lose my money.
never lose a dime playing poker-that's for sure.

I would definitely question the word 'stable'. I think you would have to be 1 in a million to have a stable source of income from poker. Possible yes, probable no.

If thousands of people earn only by playing poker, then this is probably possible!
