Playing Poker can actually may you a alot of money, many people have earned their fortunes(thousands to millions) through poker, but you must be an expert. I'm not talking about knowing how to play poke a little bit, or you're just good and always beat your friends no... I'm talking about you've actually played in actual Poke Tournaments and won, and came close, only then can you consider playing Poker for a living.

I'm pretty sure i'm an expert! I've been playing for over 10 years. I've read around 5 books on TH. From Phil's shitty book to Sklansky's awesome books. I've won countless tournaments (best one was i got 1st in a turny of 800 people) Currently I play about 5 - 10 hours a week but i used to (before current GF) play 5-10 hours a day online. People will always suck out on you, but overall I do pretty well.

I've made a few coins playing poker, a good percentage of players are new to poker, if you already have some experience you will do good.

Nice!
Which site do you use?

Doesn't playing poker for an income sound too good to be true?

No matter how lucky or good you are a gambling, you can't always be the winner.

As you lose you'll have to take bigger risks to recover, this will most likely drive you bankrupt.

I've actually made money playing online poker. I've been playing for like 10 years and i play a few times a week in a casino! Also, my buddy in OR put himself through school playing online poker! I'm not really worried about losing everything because i play tournaments only. I just wanna know of a site that doesn't fuck their users over.

Same here, having played online and live. In fact, I lived at Sam's Town Casino and Resort in Tunica for two years straight, having the room comped a majority of the time for playing on their tables X hours a day.

I've lived in Biloxi for almost two years, and lived in Las Vegas six times, six months at a time. The entire time playing poker until playing the slots became more profitable.

Online poker is not REAL POKER! You can't go into it thinking just playing poker will give you a chance to win lol I'm a avid poker player played on Fulltilt made Final table quite a few times and Pokerstars and almost made it on T.V was in the finals before they pulled the plug when BLACK FRIDAY CAME.I didn't make it on poker skill alone.......
First thing you have to realize THERE ISN"T A POKER PROGRAM IN THE WORLD THAT CAN SIMULATE REAL PLAY! There is over a billion random possibilities that there just isn't a COMPUTER STRONG ENOUGH TO PREDICT TRUE OUTCOME even the Governments computers couldn't compute that outcome! You will never get TRUE ODDS like a LIVE GAME ! What you do get is what makes you perceive as true oddsI'll tell you that much! You have to have poker knowledge to win of course but it's really a entirely different game and takes a lot more then Poker Know How to win.There's a flaw in all poker programs and if your smart enough to figure it out? YOU CAN WIN!and it's a SECRET many onliners KNOW including me but I ain't telling I had to pay big money for it Grin

But if you don't already know what it is? Skill alone isn't going to do it the odds are seriously against you because you will be playing thinking you have REAL GAME ODDS.

I think you lost to mutch on online poker and blame it on some rigg.
The odds are true but say that it is like you say it is: "You will never get TRUE ODDS like a LIVE GAME". Then its this for all players = fair.
Or are you one of them that always are the one that have that extra unluck? Like if the casino was against especially you. Like they programmed it to be against THAT player, no one else.

Poker sites:

sealswithclubs.eu has the most players / activity.
pocketrocketscasino.eu is good if you like OFC or have DOGE.
betcoinpoker.com is new but doing a good job with their tourneys.
satoshipoker.org had a lot of nice tourneys but traffic declined a bit last few months.

Disclosure: I did add some referral links in these above links. Not to get rich but simply cuz I was going to link to them anyway.

Great overview, thanks

In poker you win or lose from other players. Not from the house.

But only like 30% of the players are profitable.. so it's not "easy money" for everyone.

exactly! poker, im playing other players. Specially when it comes to a tournament. House gets a cut from the buy-in and thats it. This isn't blackjack!

... well i dont need to explain much more do i?

The house always wins... When your playing a game that uses the house.
Poker is head to head no house involvement. Unless he;s playing against the dealer which I don't think was his idea.

Poker is a great way to earn some extra BTC, or cash.
People do make a living off playing, and those are the ones you need to lookout for.
Watch for bad beats as well.
