For cash games:

Sit and play at tables where the players are not as good as you are at poker.

Don't sit and play at tables where the players are better than you.

You're welcome.

What about tables where players pretend to play worse than you at first to make you bet big, then take everything from you?

It is a common scam

How can we know if the players at a particular tables are experienced or not. The better option will be to first become experienced and then play save by making save moves

Data mining and software will show you if they are good or not. Data mining sites will show you their winnings/losings - i dont know what is available in bitcoin poker as regards these tools.

Shit, did I leave the stove on?

I don't think I am a profitable poker player. I don't use any specialized software to keep track of my played hands nor do I analyze any statistics of my plays whatsoever so I don't like to play cash table games where a lot of patience and reading skills of players are required. I play poker mostly for fun and not for profit and I prefer to play in tournaments where buy-ins are low and the reward is great. I do believe the real profitable poker players play cash games though.

i dont think so, its not that easy , one with lot of card calculation , experience, dedication and bank roll would make a huge profit but i dont think all the time one can make a profit with the poker . you need a good calculation and also always bit of a luck

Yes - poker has some luck in the same sense the stock market does.

Most people can't make money from stocks, but that doesn't mean it is a gamble.

In life I guess we just gamble our minds - our abilities. Tongue

Poker is a game based on strategy , luck and guts.
Sometimes I can make profit by bluffing or I'm work with my partner to win the game. When I got profit, I'm share with my friend

How to know, where the players are better than you?
If playing poker its depends on luck too, because good card does not always win.

One of the most important, perhaps THE most important skill of a poker player is sizing up your opponent. If you do this well, and are disciplined, you can consistently take money from players who don't size up their opponents or play as consistently. In rounders the lead character quoted Doyle Brunson: 'You don't play the cards. You play the man.

If you believe luck of the cards is important for your game, well, just hope you have fun while spewing your chips.

Well, poker is a player vs player game. Take out the house rake (1-10%), and you're left with 47%~ winners and 47%~ losers in any given session. Now, take into account that there are some who are good enough to consistently win, and that hurts everyone else's odds, but at low stakes/levels? I'd imagine there are a good number of us here who can profit. I just started playing on Bovada and I've been consistently winning, personally.

Agreed. And i dont mostly play games like this because some say it has patterns and sometimes high stakes players often bully people with smaller amount of money.

Poker is profitable but as i said its only luck for small time players like me.

I can probably profit from it but not from online poker, somewhere down the line it just doesn't feels fair but the live table poker I would definitely make good money with it but here's a thing, you need a good amount of money, so that you can wait and take tolls of blinds until you get a good hand.

Online and live have different skills so that is possible. Many of the live pros today cant get things going online, some of the best in the world even. There is more psychology in live play.

Just use a hud! Or you already behind.. Cool

Around 9% of poker players can make a living doing this.

Why even touch slot machines? Bet against a person not the house!

Become a professional poker player and travel anywhere.

Where did you find this percentage information? 9% players can make a living just by playing poker seems to be so high imo.

It is a very hard number to figure and anything you find online is rough estimates.

Some suggest only 1% of people can play poker professionally but I tend to believe closer to 10%.

It also depends on your location and where you play... A LOT.

I have never made any profit in poker. I do not know any such person who has played poker profitably. I have always seen people losing in this game. But I have seen movie in which some students earned huge profit by counting cards. Still need to learn that technique.

In poker you can't "count cards" you are talking about a entirely different card game. Tongue
