No offense T Park, but if you have to ask the answer is probably no.do you think it could be a good income, at least supplemental.
Hey all.
Hey, does anyone in here play for money, and if you do, do you think it could be a good income, at least supplemental.
If so, how often do you play, and how do you get so good at it that you win that much?
Im thinking about doing this in my spare time, or downtime at work, to supplement my income, and get ready to buy a house.
No offense T Park, but if you have to ask the answer is probably no.do you think it could be a good income, at least supplemental.
not even, in a person's spare time?
Not even if they play a few hours a day?
I'd say that if you aren't confident enough in your poker skills to KNOW that you'll be able to go in and make money consistently, you will probably be a loser in the long run.
It also takes a certain mindset to play online, different than live poker. Manny plays online poker professionally - so he might be able to give you some info.
Gambling is just like every other crutch. The ride might be fun but you crash in the end. Find another hobby that's more constructive. Just friendly advice. I know it's fun to gamble. But it's also addictive.
I'll just say this....
The reason I can make a living off of it is becaue of all the people who think they know about poker and don't know anything. The vast majority of online players are not of the winning variety although I'm sure many - if not most - think they are.
You shoudln't look to online poker as a source of income untill it happens. If you play, and you've been successfull for a large number of hands and you're sure that the main factor is your skill and not a hot run of cards, then you can consider it. I'm talking about 50 thousand hands. At that point, if you're a winning player it usually shows up. Varience skews things in the short run but the cards even out over the long run.
Playing poker is a really analytical thing when you do it online. Live there is a lot more to it with the psychology of things, but online is a different type of poker where a more straightforward analytical game is best. It is really mathamtical in nature. I don't think its extremely hard, but for whatever reason people have a difficult time grasping many of the concepts.
And then some of us just find it boring as .
Money is never boring. I will admit that live is a millino times more fun than online play is.And then some of us just find it boring as .
Was that you I saw signed up on SAPC's site?
Don't think so. I signed up a few years ago under the handle "SATXPoker". Haven't been there in ages though, don't even know the URL anymore.
Oh, no there was somebody who signed up for one of the games tonight under the handle "scott" so I thought it might be you.
50k hands is 50k in hands. Hands aren't a denomination of money.
Thats what I've wondered.
Having a skill at online poker.
Where do you go Manny to find these morons.
I think I play pretty well, I did pretty good in Vegas, and so far today im up 50 bucks.
I know, I know. You're giong to owe me five hands after the Clippers finish business!
pony?
simma down cracka...
my bad.
Didn't mean to go there.....
and I do NOT say slow your roll EVERY DAY
that is such an exageration.
Poker is fukkin luck. It's not mathematical. I know a dude that plays 8 hours a day 7 days a week and it's pure luck.
t-park,
I don't think you can play poker for a living part-time. The swings can be a killer so you'll need to play a lot of hands to even out the variance. Also, there's no real money to be made unless you're willing to risk real money. If you don't want to risk much but still have a chance to win big, and then play tournies. However, tournies can goble up time without payoff. If you're willing to go broke because you love poker, and then you have a chance to be a long-term big winner. Otherwise, be happy with winning $50 bucks here and there with the occassional score of $500 or more.
Had a famous pro tell me that there was no real money to be made until you were willing to lose $15k in a week. Of course, unlesss you luck out and win the WSOP from a $40 satelite like Chris Moneymaker.
Please post back to us when your friend goes broke.
2 cents,
You dont think a person could say play 2 tables at one, and like win at least 500 a day from em?
Or is Poker just too much, lose alot win alot, to make any money at?
What limits you play T-park?
5 and 10
no limit or limit?
Ill only play hands though, that are pairs or same suit.
If they are royaltly? Sure them too.
Iffy hands would be say, ace 10 or king 9
Those Id be heming and hawing on.
