Limit
Tpark, you've got the same basic strategy as 90% of the people out there so I don't think you are going to make any serious "supplemental" money off online poker.
Making 500 a week off playing 2 tables isn't as easy as showing up with a game plan. Manny is a professional and knows all 52 backwards and forwards. He's been playing hold 'em since hold 'em was 5 card draw. It's not as easy as you seem to think it is.
I believe TPark thinks he can make $500 per DAY.
maybe not a day.
A week, NET.
I guess you have to get all the poker books you can get and study em.
I really don't honestly know how you "improve"
I mean I play, but, what are things that you can improve at, in playing the game?
Yeah, You can make 500 a day. I've made a lot more than that in a day. But you can lose your ass in a day too. Ask Jess how much she loves the days when I'm down a load. Can you average 500 a day? I suppose so, and I'm sure there are people doing it. I don't even come close to averaging 500 a day.
Poker is much more than just the cards you are playing. Its about position, odds, tendencies, situations, and lots of other variables. You can't just say "I'll fold A10 or K9 and make 500 a day" because thats not the way it works. There are times when I'll fold A10 and there are times when I'll raise with it. There are times when I'll raise with 32o and there are times when I'll fold QQ without even seeing a flop. I can't tell you how many IM conversations I've had with Kurt where we talk strategy and can't come to a conclustion.
Tpark, don't expect to make 500 a day. You might be able to do it, but more than likely your going to be severly dissapionted. Just play and if you find out your a solid player then you can consider it. If you're not a solid player, work on your game. Read as much about it and TALK as much about it with people as possible.
You can improve your decision making. Big time.
But you told me to shut upTALK as much about it with people as possible.
Im kidding
Sounds like a good idea, talk to some people who have played for a long time, and discuss how they play.
See, maybe its because im really really new to poker strategy, I don't know what would make a good player from a bad.Just play and if you find out your a solid player then you can consider it. If you're not a solid player, work on your game
Yeah I should cut that back, maybe average 100 a day, or 80.Can you average 500 a day? I suppose so, and I'm sure there are people doing it. I don't even come close to averaging 500 a day.
that still gives someone 560 to 700 a week.
On top of current salary and percentage of net in my other business, thats pulling down a good chunk of change.
Thanks for the advice Manny, I do respect your opinion, cause Ive seen your stories on how you play and you do know what your talking about.
ouchAsk Jess how much she loves the days when I'm down a load.
would this be because of the days you rub it in when you make alot?
T-Park, Playing 5/10 Limit has brutal swings, unless you have at LEAST $3000 to $5000 that you are willing to lose, you should seriously consider moving down limits.
According to Daniel Negreanu to make $50k per year you need to have a minimum $15k roll and play 30/60. He also said you have to be a darn good player to do it.
My suggestion to you T-Park would be to read as much Sklansky as you can, and also read Jennifer Harmon's section in Super System II.
$500 per day is $125,000 or so a year.
Also, most of the good poker players have gone bust once or twice in their lives. Those are the few that come back from going bust, the rest and I would argue the majority of people who go bust become degenerate gamblers.
I would recommend the tournment route where you can controll your loses without it affecting the way you play. In cash games you can't play scared which is hard to do when you're on a very bad run of cards or luck. You absolutely need brass balls.
whatta ya think, 3 6s?Playing 5/10 Limit has brutal swings, unless you have at LEAST $3000 to $5000 that you are willing to lose, you should seriously consider moving down limits
so just enter tournaments is what you mean?I would recommend the tournment route where you can controll your loses without it affecting the way you play.
Sklansky, and I want to point out again, I meant 500 a week, not a day.My suggestion to you T-Park would be to read as much Sklansky as you can, and also read Jennifer Harmon's section in Super System II.
$500 per day is $125,000 or so a year
Thats unrealistic.
Caro or Sklansky said that it's possible to make 50k a year playing 3/6.
and Tpark, If you're serious about poker, read Small Stakes Hold'em by Sklansky, it's widely known as the best poker book around.
What is your bankroll?
GINNNOBILI, 2cents - have ya'll thought about turning pro?
i set up a seperate bank account with about 8 grand in it for this.
Thank you, I will pick that one up.Small Stakes Hold'em by Sklansky
BTW, this is something I would do,
oh,
lets say
5 to 6 hours a day.
some days more, some days less.
No, I'm definately not good enough yet, I haven't had time to read as many books as I'd like. But I'm slowly trying to build a bankroll in my free time, so that in a year or so, I can try to make poker my main source of income.
Tpark, would you like to turn pro one day?
If I get alot of practice and become good at it??
yeah I want to turn pro.
A pro poker player? Damn, that would be awesome!!!!

You can make 500 a day betting on basketball if you have the money to put up. You can play the moneyline and probably win 80% of the time. The take home percentages are small, but if you're betting enough money, the 500 can be reached easily.
In the meantime, T Park... try showing up to one of my poker GTGs
When is the next one?
stop having them when im not in town
I love Daniel N, but he's wrong about that 50k mark. There are lots of ways to make 50k with online poker that don't involve something as deep as 30/60. He may have been talking about live poker. Skalansky does say 50k a year playing 3/6, but I'm not too sure thats reachable anymore because a lot of good players play online 3/6 now.
Well, I started with 400
and im up to 17 hundred, is that good?
Almost enough to buy that house!!!! Keep it up son!!!!
