I made some money playing on poker freerolls online where there are 1000 to 5000 players playing. I made it to the top most of the time. Playing poker is more about waiting and proper calculation of the cards and your opponents. It's 100% profit for me because I don't invest any money at all. Poker is 90% skill and 10% luck.

How much you win to play freerolls against 1000-5000 players? I believe you need to spend so many hours to finish on top of the freerolls, as long as your profit is worth enough with they time you spent so it is OK.
I would prefer to play on GTD tourney or ring game rather than freerolls with so many players, because I know I can t spend so many hours on it.

I won more than $3000 that started from freerolls. Now I'm playing with gtd tournaments. But I still love playing freerolls because it is risk free.

i played on betcoin 5 hours for winnings of $30, not worth it for the time but still took profit. Im in a different time zone also so i do be falling asleep playing till 5-6 am in morning!!

Better to just play the daily BTC or a tourney of value.

TRUMP IS DOING THE BEST! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

At even at 9% seems a bit too high for them to win as much to make enough to live off of.
I would think more like 5% would be about right stat for this.

There's a difference between +EV and making a living.

9% is believable for +EV, definitely not for making a living.
It's also about playing with the right people, you are the 9th worse player in the world, you will make money if you play against the other 8 that are even worse.

PokeStars is trying to fight back against "bum hunting".. Wink

I'm gonna getcha!

I could. Playing live in China I made bucks. Could support myself. But I don't do as well online. And the bigger problem is the wife and kids tie me down, can't be travelling to the most lucrative games ...

Someone once asked Negraneau where he would play if he was to just grind cash games, and he said Macao. Now he would play Macau because he needs an English game. But the underground games in China are even fishier ...

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.
