I think (just guessing here) what she's saying is the game is not easy, like some people might believe it to be.
So, to take a shot at online poker and be a fairly constant winner takes time and effort. So, must likely, people starting to play poker will lose money, and she knows this, so it is hard for her to encourage new people to play with a somewhat false hope of winning good money fast and easy from online poker. Of course, the problem is that poker can become addicted and people could end up broke (along with all the consequences that can come from that).
So, I have recently stumbled upon a post on FB from Vanessa Selbst. It is about her quitting poker and leaving pokerstars team. Among other reasons, one really caught my attention:
For me, online poker was never for money making but more of a source of fun, but still it didn't seem unbeatable. As a live player, I don't quite understand what she meant..
So, I am interested in your thoughts on this? Also, how do you feel playing online poker as oppose to playing live?
Agreed!the microstakes are beatable however to get some money you need to climb stakes and there people do not make silly mistakes so once you hit a stake that you do not big edge over population then the rake beats you.
