how often do you NOT make money, I mean gambling generally is bad news in my experience.

I've met plenty of people that have been up 1000's before, driving a flash mercedes etc. and then lose it all and literally in the fucking dirt because they didnt know when to quit.

Its like drug dealing, you can only be successful for so long before the feds/jealousy/competition puts you out of the business.

Live fast die young kinda gig.

So you're the best kind of wagie, keep on that grind, try find a satellite to a big event and maybe you'll hit it big if you're patient enough. Then you can retire the wagie life.

daytrading and poker are skill games, they're still gambling. You're still betting money without expecting a specific rate of return (which is investing, not gambling).

>> No.14951508

>>14951470
Its still gambling, same as any financial investment is gambling.
Skill and knowledge can turn the odds in your favour over the pack but its still gambling no matter how good your odds are.

Wagie shows up for work 50 hours a week, its not a gamble as hes got a contract detailing what will be paid to him in return for his work, a pro poker player could be dealt AA 100 hands in a row and lose every one.
Unlikely but its a possible outcome.

I’ve never came out behind in a month, even on my worst month I grossed 1700, I never go above $1-$2 blinds so unless I get absolutely rekt and have the worst luck of my life it’s a steady income. I also never play in big tournaments.

thats nice if you can make it work, like I say, ive friends who have had variable outcomes from it.

One friend, literally has brought property from his gambling gains, some others, have had some 40k payouts in some instances, live fast, lots of coke, partying, nice cars, and blow it all so they are worse off than they began.

It really does take discipline, like most things, but that still doesnt change the fact what you are trying to do is essentially predict the future.

Now this, this is some fucking crazy logic when you think about it. Trying to predict something that is undefined based on variables in the present.

It's a dead game, zoom poker for example we have stats showing nobody is winning before rakeback in omaha etc in nl where rake is lower it's possible maybe win 5-10bb at lower stakes but nl200 or higher zoom is most rocky field on planet no money there prolly AI bots by now in use. 10 hour a day is impossible would get carpal tunnel wrist after 2 days even 1 hour a day long term is barley bearable for most online poker is just dead after black friday definitely no real fish anymore

You might consider cashing out your 40 million dollars

>> No.14951754

I played on pokerstars for a while. Not really trying to make cash like that but still with a serious strategy.

I'm convinced that site is rigged. I'd play sooo fucking conservatively watching hand after hand go by then bet when I had a straight or whatever and the other guy would have a straight flush or some shit EVERY FUCKING TIME.

Any tips for strategy etc? Do you look for games that have the most stupid rubes or are you generally playing skilled players/against the cards?

You can have runs like that, you have to play during the times when there’s high traffic, which is every evening and the weekends. Then you play low to mid blinds. 25/50 cent tables is the lowest I’ll play and $1/2 is usually the highest. I usually like to watch and only play blinds when first entering table. Never get it all in pre flop in Omaha, even if you have a monster

> Poker isn't gambling
You're a fucking retard. I've played tournaments where even if I had played every hand to the river, I would have not won a single hand even well into 3rd or 4th rounds. I've been playing poker for more than 15 years, have hosted tournaments at halls with trophies etc. If you don't get cards, you'll lose eventually. This idea that you're so smooth and so talented as a poker player that you will override that reality enough to make consistently better hands fold against your amazing skills wreeks of inexperience and retardation. There's a reason almost every professional poker player made their money in other ways, then took up poker as a hobby.

not op but i've been playing intertops from US semi-professionally for 8 years since black friday. it's super soft for cash games. couple of good pros to look out for. couple ultra fish regs that spew thousands weekly. I follow usually 50 buyins for heads up, 20 for six max and 10 for full ring is fine. I play same as op but with some 400nl and 600nl included

Nope hate pocket pairs of all kinds, aces I will push hard preflop to get as many if not everyone out before, because I hate playing them.

I used to be a pro for 5 years at pokerstars. Honestly to succeed you need to put massive amounts of time playing and reviewing/studying your hands. It gets pretty repetitive after a certain point when it becomes your job. You get put in similar situations and you do the same thing day after day. I could compare it to working on a conveyor belt.

>> No.14952765

that's why i always played heads up or 3/4 handed. much more situational and player dependent with 1 or 2 pros at a table and one giant fish. kept it fun
