Why 888 poker? Why not Pokerstars? Currently I am playing on Pokerstars.uk. I just want to know your reason please.
888 gives more rake back, more fishes... there are a long time I do not play in pokertars...

Hi, I took a key because I wanted to share what I was waking up with so much learning to be knowledge of not just playing. because sometimes it can only win by chance. I've been tired of learning it day after day so it can be more serious about poker.

If you are good at poker then it is beneficial if it's bad that you can not learn to play poker well but you need to spend a lot of time to learn strategy and tactics.

If someone would say: Find an activity that is interesting, exciting, entertaining, and more, you can even earn money without having to work hard enough, you will not have much to think about!Poker is such a game. It's great when you take a huge pot, or when you're in a sit & go game after a long game, you're in cash and I could still count for a day. Additionally, the great support that Pokerstars offers is quite fantastic. (credit, gift coupons, poker pot, etc.). So you should play poker.And many enjoy that too, they are happy to play for a while, but afterwards they have problems, and that would be my point. Many people stop playing poker when there is no result for a week or two. This is not correct, you have to believe that everything is leveling out, and then everybody out in the pit! Of course, I can explain this to someone who has sent hundreds of thousands of dollars and is out of control. It's a tough one, everyone knows the feeling when it's big enough and it's still a test, it's a test, so it's a waste of money. It's the only danger to poker. That is why I can suggest that everyone is enjoying it, and if such a time comes, do not miss it. A realistic example would be to mention if you enjoy a football game and you have a good performance on the field you fancy, but you're off, do not you look at the next match? But if you like football, then definitely - back to poker - maybe you do not have to risk that amount, turn it into lucky little and then you can mow it again!

Poker is a hard game to make a profit in let alone make a living. I was playing for a living for the last year straight before some poor bankroll management took out my bankroll. I have won MTT's for 12.5k and 17.5k and am flat broke right now. If you don't practice bankroll management you will have a hard time.

You should also be studying as much as possible. This game is only getting harder and putting in the effort to excel is 100% key if you are taking this seriously. Forums like cardschat are great for learning new things about poker and strategies that will help you become a winning player!

Lots of patience and proper thinking is involved.You must also be willing to not have "fun" and must learn to make the best decisions statistically over a long period of time

I think you should not treat poker as a means of getting money. And then everything can turn out.

in poker it's like sports, lots of people are involved, a lot of people do hard work, but only a small part of them are waking and winning, like tennis, only the top 100 players win well (but can be injured and dropped forever at any time) thousands of people who earn nothing

I have been playing for six months now every day. In total I had to deposit 150$ to be a "real" person in my 8 pokerrooms. Between Christmas and end of Januay I spent 3.600$ of my winnings in their casinos, because I can't withdraw here in mexico, and I know I can always win the same. Profitable? Or did I just deserve it for my hard studying? You do the math!Since february I stopped gambling and I am back to 200$ !!! Looking forward to next X-mas :santaclau

So if only 5% make money; then do the rest just love poker enough to accept losing their money?

Or maybe it's the dream of hitting a good tourney?
Yes, many play for fun. Many want to hit it big in a big buy in tournament. Some don't realize they are not so good at poker.
