i am not exactly an expert or professional poker player but i am average at poker but i have never had a good chance of winning in any online poker games because i am playing against a monitor not a face

but whenever i play poker with my friends that are at the same level as me i have a better chance and more fun because i am playing against a face

This is why I dont like playing any real poker, since I can't bluffing my opponents Cheesy

Yeah the main method to win in real poker is poker face, but in online casino you have to analyze the probability in every card you hold.

Not really you need to use a HUD or you are already behind.

A HUD does a lot of the work for you.

You would probably do great at a casino that has a lot of traffic then - Fri-Sat nights with the drunks.

I got profit from poker just because I often played freerolls where I collected and used the prize from freerolls winning to join tournament. I rarely using my money to join poker tournament.

If i sit and wait for great cards which is BORING

then I profit it seems everytime. Most people are impatient and will
call with marginal hands and need to get lucky to catch premium hands

the problem is.... is its so boring I would rather actually work than grind poker.

I only play to have fun now here and there and call with fun hands to call with 10j
etc. Its just to much of a grind if your waitin for aces kings a/k

No i don't think this to be true, i haven't seen any glamber claiming he have won poker without any negative bankroll and living off from the poker profit. I don't know what you like to show comparing poker against slot machines Huh

i don't find any realtion between those two.

So you think the real life poker professionals are just all scams and lies?

Everyone has been lied to? Roll Eyes

Poker is a game where bets are against people, not the house.

For example: Some casinos are better than others - maybe you bump into a bunch of drunk guys who literally gamble and don't even try to beat you. In the long run - you always come out positive against these types. Pure gambling is the complete opposite. Yes you have some gamble and luck in poker just like in anything else you do in real life.

Then you get more complex players so you must be better, etc.

You might want to Google. Wink

Being a poker professional doesn't necessarily mean that they're making a living off of it.

There are a few, but I can confidently say that well under 9% (my best guess is <1%) of poker players are able to make a living off of it.

A lot of the more known poker pros are staked and are actually in make-up.

all kind game of gambling are less winners than losers , no matter it is poker (against people) or general casino games (against house edge) a losers are much more than winners.

i agree with dogedigital opinion/argument about a poker players who able to make a living from poker table, very less people can do it. i my self is a bad poker player who never earn good money from this game.

Yup like anything else in life!

Very funny this guy though - you can't be a pro unless you are living from it - the definition of a professional.

No this is not correct. There are many who play poker full time professionally and are still not able to make a living off of it.

A lot of poker professionals are in make-up.

Oh really? Like who?

You might want to consider looking up what professionally means.

You could lie and call yourself a professional but be a loser yes. Roll Eyes

The problem with poker is more people would profit if the rake was lower. Its such a small edge game that adjusting the rake would bump a lot of losers in to winners. Think the reason you see so few winners is to be a good poker player to some extent taking a bit of balls and the line is thin enough that if you got to big of balls you go broke easy.
Other aspect has to be psychology and how we play to our limitations.

That is another thing to watch out for, some people will play a very safe game - very tight - just enough to earn rake back which can end up being thousands back per month.

Online poker is a whole different strat vs live.

You better use a HUD if you play online or you are already behind.. Roll Eyes

profit of any gambling game can't be calculated it can get to 10% up to 1000% but there is an objective to reach and don't do it randomly with that you will have a nice profit you need to be optimist and be satisfy with what you got, and for poker the profit is up to your skills too so if you are an amateur you stop at 10% profit because it was your luck but if you are a pro you can reach 100% or more if the luck in your side too.

I have never made profits while playing poker as I win at initial stage but in long run I loose everything so now I have stopped playing poker.

If you are good at mathematics and can count cards why not? My memorizing is not so well, I can play poker well sometimes but if there's a good player in the table I don't think I can beat them. The fact is you don't know your opposition, so playing against players might be sketchy. Playing against house means always loss in the long run though.

With poker I am not that able to earn a living but with that the winnings and losts make me neutral, and when I calculate all my bets at that I comes to a conclusion that I have lost the same which i won.

I don't know about 9% - not saying I believe or disbelieve that figure, but for those that say it isn't possible to profit or make a living playing poker, check here : http://www.officialpokerrankings.com/

Just click around and you will see that many, many people are easily making profits and earning a living playing tournament poker. Many others make a good living/profit playing cash game poker as well.

as for me only play poker just for entertaint even i've got profit it doesn't mean i could make a living by playing it. I dont expect much, poker is the one of the gambling that needs skill, so if you want to earn much just increase your skill. And right now i'm playing to increase my skill.
But if you are a pro you could buy everything you want, JetPlane, Women, Villa etc

Its a skilled based game only if you play it against other humans and are better poker players then them. In a online casino, its not skilled based just lucked based.

It would just take too much time to play enough to get that far, your whole life would revolve around poker, and that's not something I would want.

Hire me for your campaign management.

I do not have much experience in that so I think before getting into there I should have to learn more , otherwise I will lose all my money at there, By the why poker is much nice and is full of entertainment but before investment I want to learn more .
