You HAVE to make $10 a day playing poker

[Lieutenant_OH7]

playing freerolls I think you can make $ 10.

Huh then you must know freerolls that I know nothing about, otherwise I have no idea how you could possibly make that much. And even if it's in theory possible, variance in freerolls will be high so you will not get that far so often. So I think in reality this is impossible

Betsson used to have freerolls with only 800ish players playing for a 1 to 3k prize pool + MTT tickets. And Also other more regular freerolls. I managed to win an MTT ticket and then win that MTT, so in that sense it's doable. Dunno if you can average 10 a day though.

I dunno if the player pools are as small after they moved over to ipoker

You reminded me of 2018. I won a freeroll on 888 accumulated $350 and used turned that amount into $4500 in just 7 days till my account got locked by 888 due to sudden spike in volumes though later everything was sorted out and that was one of the best freeroll memories of mine.

OP has bamboozled us, he realised option 5 is the secret guaranteed winning strategy and deleted it to keep the knowledge to themselves:icon_shak

 

[gabrielcsgo93]

10 dolars per day is a good start!

 

[elJenio8]

I used to profit every day back then..

Then pokerstars put the casino thing and i was dead lol

 

[HungryLyan]

I would play option 1 through to 3. Generally I play low stakes games when on $10. I try to stick to my bankroll management.

I would play as many freerolls as I could per day. A couple of micro buyn tourneys, like ,1 or 2$ entry for 200 to 700 guaranteed, ( you win or place in one of these, and you allready have your goal for one or 2 weeks at least).

 

[flattershay]

I'd play freerolls with some 3$ MTT's(and you don't have to play as a nit). That way it'd have a higher chance to achieve the goal but as people said above, nothing is guaranteed in poker.

 

[DeuceParade]

I think it's micro cash games and it's not close.

 

[eberetta1]

I'd be playing in some Cardschat freerolls if I was trying to hit $10 a day.

how would you go about doing it?

Let's say every morning you get $10 seed money and by 24H00 that evening you have to show $10 profit. 5 days a week.

1) Freerolls? Don't risk the $10
2) Small Mtts (sub $1)
3) Micro cash tables?
4) Play like a NIT on a bigger by in MTT - say $3-$5 and just aim to get ITM.
6) Play like a NIT on a more expensive cash table - just wait for AA , shove and pray.
7) Don't be silly it's impossible
8) A combination of those above
9) Other.

With a $10 starting roll each day... .
'it depends'
Honestly it depends upon what format(s) you have experience wtih and are good at.
I'd think the easiest might be by playing 6max 2nl tables.
BUT.... possibly low stakes D0Ns (depending upon how high the rake is... & at the stakes you could afford to play on a $10 starting roll, the rake might be a bit too high... although the terrible play will make up for it to a degree).

Final answer: 2nl 6max cashgame

 

[Poker Orifice]

I think playing with scared money is always a recipe for disaster, so I would try the freeroll route if I had enough access to sites. Maybe a couple of sub 50c games, but I think making $10 p/d on freerolls should be pretty easy

If you're choosing to play freerolls to win the $10/day then why would you need the $10 starting roll?

 

[Poker Orifice]

Hello.
The best option is to play in freerolls and not risk your own money.

But what 'risk' is it if the player is able to beat the stakes they are playing at? I mean wouldn't it be worth the risk to be playing at stakes where you're a proven winner?

 

[Sweeterman]

Cash Game at NL5, making that $10 could be anywhere between 1-3 hours.

 

[costy1300]

At least, I'm just losing them lately, I don't win them.

To get a profit of $ 10, I would recommend Sit & Go tournaments Fifty50,
they are called differently in different rooms, but the essence is the same, namely, exactly half of the participants get into the prizes.

Did not see that! Maybe 5 could be use your $10 to stake other player(s)

If you're choosing to play freerolls to win the $10/day then why would you need the $10 starting roll?

because the idea is to see if players thought they could make a steady amount of money. The low amount was to be able to include freerolls. If the amount was $100 p/day freerolls wouldn't be an option.

I think the best way to make steady cash would be to play at cash tables a few levels below your abilities

10 dollars a day is a good income only at the beginning of development

 

[OnitheCroc]

low buy in sng

I would play low buy in sngs three at a time low risk high return

My answer is very simple. You should play those games that bring you profit in the long run.

Playing only freerolls will bring profit to EVERY player in the long run. Will it be the most profit.. or optimal? Probably not.

But the question was You have to make $10/day, 'starting with $10 each day'.. how would you do it?

This ^ question is MUCH different than wondering if a player can make a 'steady amount of money'.
First off, to make a 'steady amount of money' isn't really how poker works. What format could one make money the most consistently off of a small starting bankroll might be another way to pose your question.... & in this case I'd say 2nl cash game would be by far the most consistent method.

If your question was >>
How would you suggest a player to try to make approx. $10/day playing poker with a small starting bankroll? (approx. $10/day but over a large sample size..... so something more along the lines of $200 in 20 days.... because in poker you will have days where you are +$15, +$5... or -$12 per day).

Then my answer to this question would be >>>
Discover which format you enjoy playing the most.
Practice this format until you can become a winning player. (then practice & study some more).
Practice Bankroll Management! (this will vary depending upon what format & also even what buyin level to a degree).
So if you have expectations of winning (on average) $10/day
in:
STT SNG's... with an ROI of +10%
You would need to play 50 Sit'nGoes at the $2.20 buyin level per day!
AND you'd need an initial bankroll of approx. $60 to $80

If choosing to play 2nl cash game.... with a winrate of 10 to 15bb/100
You're going to be needing to play ~ 3,000 to 5,000 hands per day
That could be A LOT of hours of play or maybe 4hrs. if you're 4-tabling ZooM tables.

Does this help to answer your question?

Also if your initial question was referring to $100/day, why would it need to exclude freerolls? (we don't have to invest anything but a small bit of screen space for an additional freeroll)
