Do you have what it takes to play online poker for a living? Discover what qualities you need to make a living from online poker. You a pretty good idea of what you can expect. First off, the. But a small percentage of players actually use poker to earn a living. You can make a year's worth of rent in a few hours (I've done this many times), or you can go months of full-time play.
One of the biggest blinders with advantage play is many players expect a method to win 100% of the time. But when is any investment 100% guaranteed? And does it need to be?
Tournament play is another aspect of online poker and it can reap big rewards. You don’t need to fly to Las Vegas to play for the big prize, you can do it in your pajamas if you so wish. Tournaments are a great way to turn a small outlay into a massive payout and the one-off payment is good for managing your account. Who makes a living off poker? From my view, to make a living off it you need to play cash 6-max or heads-up - and to make good money you need to play higher stakes. Sep 24, 2006 i think you can, but I think you're better off playing poker in person since you can see the person you're up against. Also, some people online use odds calculators and references so more than likely everyone online uses those. If you're playing in person, They have to memorize it in their head and will seperate the pros from the amateurs. Playing poker for a living is a roller coaster in every metaphorical way. It has provided me with raw elation and sheer depression. There is a sincere form of human nature that is brought out in every person when they engage in a game of poker. A part of you is barren for all to see. Yes, you can make a living playing poker in 2020. However, it is not easy. You have to work hard to be a winning player these days. You also have to be very disciplined. However, for some people like me playing poker for a living allows a lot of freedom.
Even casinos can and do make losses from time to time. Perhaps a high-roller got lucky one day. But the casino knows they have a long-term advantage, and will recover their losses. It’s the same case with advantage play. Losses can and do occur in the short-term.
The most popular advantage play method in roulette is visual ballistics. This requires you to bet after ball release. It’s not difficult, but many players find it too stressful.
The reality is there’s no single method that beats all wheels. Instead, there are specific methods that are suitable to some wheels, but not to others. So an experienced advantage player first identifies the conditions they’re playing in, then the suitable technique.

Online poker can you make a living off it?
Tuesday 23rd June 2009
I know someone who's been playing professionally for almost 2 years now (all his earnings are from poker). He plays online tourneys (sit & gos mainly plus regular bigger events). He earns an ok living for his age (avg approx 2k per month).
And if you think crazy hands never happen in the real world check out this deal: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/809970/unbelievable_..
One of the reasons you see so many bad beats online is that there's so many people willing to go to the river with ANY hand. Whereas in 'live' games most players have a bit more experience (or don't want to look stupid) and so won't chase the long shots.

Also you just see more hands so you'll see more funny stuff. I've played over 2k hands in a day online but it's not really possible to play that in 30 hours of non-stop live poker. Tuesday 23rd June 2009
Not sure about making a living, but when the lat night poker comes on TV I know I have gone past my bedtime.

Dragged that from way back, I can't really recall the context and my comment. But don't forget poker winnings are considered gambling ie. Non-taxable.
the jist was that I said you need a massive roll to earn a living, you said not unless you want to earn 100k +..i said i did Tuesday 23rd June 2009

Well either play very well and say to hell with bankroll management and you can achieve those figures. But it may be difficult to repeat year after year. Learn to play heads up, there's a lot of money in that.Tuesday 23rd June 2009
My aim in Poker is to be a semi pro player, mainly online with the odd Casino visit and a weekly home game which is restarting up this week.
Best thing to do is join two+two poker forum and read the beginners section, there also links to training sites with some free and offers videos.
Start at the lowest stakes ie 2NL (1c/2c)
When you can crush those stakes, you move up. The most important thing is to learn Bankroll management, which will keep you playing through the longest downswings etc

Hmmm, the rake these sites charge is obscene - many good players only break even, and even with rakeback, your work has gone to the site.
Donkaments should be played for fun only, as the variance is a bh, and although you hear about big winners, look at entry fees they have paid, and very few are in profit.
From my view, to make a living off it you need to play cash 6-max or heads-up - and to make good money you need to play higher stakes. Higher stakes require massive bankroll, which can make it very stressful, and could cloud your decisions if you aren't truly comfortable with the money you are betting.
From my experience, it is hard to make a stable profit, because SO much boils down to luck. Luck overrides this game so much, much more so than skill (Obviously wannabe pros will disagree). Boil it down to the basics, and in order to make maximum profit, you need to be in the right place, at the right time, playing the right opponent. Many players only think about the luck of cards they are dealt at any one point, but maximum profit is made from the luck of the situation - i.e AA is gonna pay off a lot better when someone has KK.
This is completely forgetting about collusion. Think about high stakes. A lot of money is on the line, and ANY advantage increases profit dramatically. The incentives for cheating are massive - and the nature of online gaming makes cheating easy. Put flatly, you would need to be incredibly niave to think collusion is not rife in higher stakes poker.
All in all; hard to make stable profit, and very easy to be jaded by the lure of 'easy money'.

Sounds like someone is a losing player ^
(flame-proof jacket on)Define losing please.
The way I see it, the game is great for fun.
However, Online Poker, as a sole way of generating income, just does not cut it.
It's the true loser's way of earning a living.
E.g If you play successfully for 10 years netting £25k a year, which is possible if you play the very high stakes well. It's a lot of money for a poker player to make consistantly without a massssive BR, but really is nothing spectacular at all. But here's the problem: What are you going to put on your c.v when you want to get a real job, or if internet poker laws are changed meaning you can't play now.
You are well and truly scuppered.
It's just not a sustainable method of income in the long run!! Fact.
The way I see it, if someone can earn a good crust with online poker, they have the potential to go out there in the real world and make some proper money, with much less risk..
Sorry (I know this will annoy some people), but IMO the long term winners who play for a living ARE the losers. In a much, much broader sense.

Losing player: someone that can't consistently make money, always whines about how unlucky they are and how they get beaten by bad players. Someone who is convinced poker is rigged and really just puts their money in bad but always blames it on bad luck. They keep playing despite the facts are clear as day that they lose money.Define losing please.

I don't see why it's a loser's way of making a living. Putting in a few hours once every few days and doing whatever else you like sounds like a good way of life to me. Working 9-5 in an office job you hate with people you don't like and having to look/dress/act to a certain manner sounds like a loser's way of life.
You outline the small grinder making £25k/year but there are people making that amount day/week. Maybe they could make more money in the real world, but there's more to it than just that and they enjoy the challenge and successful players are highly competitive and just enjoy playing the game.
If online poker gets banned or something happens to it there will always be european sites and if those go down (highly unlikely) there will always be live games running around somewhere. Who cares about CV? If you're financially independent then you don't need to get a job.
