Don't worry about building your way up.

I'm thinking, it's 85% luck. 10% skill, and 5% what you're bankroll allows(poker earned or not).

But this is only approximately correct for online poker..

Live poker gives you better odds.

In the long run, online poker gives you more chances to win, but live poker in the short run.

Wow, Daquess. You've lost before you've even started. Read some of my earlier posts. I'm very specific as to how I built my bankroll online. Good luck.

I like online poker because there is no gambling around, no overexcitation - I can focus on the game. In addition, some people during the game behave too excited or swear loudly. All poker is a calculation of the probability of winning. The one who plays with a positive mathematical expectation wins. Practicing good bankroll management is like budgeting in everyday life. Everything can collapse in an instant if you are not careful.

I agree with 85% luck in a freeroll but as the stakes increase the luck factor decreases. Would you donk all in with 9h 5s in a freeroll, sure see it all the time. But in a $10,000 buy in, not likely because luck would not be on your side.

I think after losing poker for a little over 10 years you will understand that skill is 90% the rest is luck and bluff
we all went through it and thought so(y):)

I would agree you need short-term luck to run deep in a MTT (win flip and 3 to 2 hands). I would poker and BRM skills to move up to the game that you want to grind in the future.

You need luck, of course. but in the long run the ability you have to bluff in pressing situations is what will give you the best results

Hello there, :cool:

Chin up :) The ups and downs in Poker are emotionally draining if you do not have a reasonable goal. Set a very small one and build momentum that way. (y)

I dove into the game of Poker, went on tilt more times than I care to remember but came back with a different mindset. :ninja:

This is why the CardsChat Community is so awesome. You get to go through the learning curve with little or no risk if you choose to and plenty of support and poker tools. It is all about the approach to the game and your discipline. Participate in the community and level up and enjoy all the freerolls and competitions. Focus on the fun factor.

After reading many posts like yours, I decided to give playing poker a more serious try. I have done some reading, taken the 30-day Poker course and continue to watch videos and study a little at a time while I apply what I learn. Now, I run a thread documenting my progress from no bankroll to see how far I can progress in a year; Zero Bankroll Builder Challenge. I welcome you to subscribe to my thread and encourage you to start your own.

Turn that 10% skill into your advantage since you cannot do anything about the luck :) .

I would not give so much percentage to luck, there are more factors that are included and in which luck does not affect you enough, one of those factors is the size of the bets, reading the hands, etc. and I only mention that factor but there are many factors that are involved and with that make your game profitable despite luck

I would say it is 50% luck and 50% skill.

It doesn't work without luck either, but if you rely primarily on luck in poker, then you won't be successful for very long.
