I play mainly freerolls for small cash contributions to my income.

For me, poker is not to get rich & I have stopped spending on it. Poker is good as a pastime.

I win some extra money playing poker, but it does not make much difference in my total monthly income. But still is nice to win money in your hobby.

I am currently playing poker for entertainment, but I am learning to increase my experience and aspire to become a professional poker player in the future . When it comes to making money, poker is a powerful source of decent profits .

If poker helped me many times to pay my debts and also my weekly expenses, that means that it is a very profitable sport if you know how to apply your knowledge at the table.

I wish! Not very often do I get to withdraw funds from the poker sites. But on the rare occasion that I do- it sure feels great! 🥳

On the contrary! Poker helps me spend money.

Of course there are some months from time to time where I have some winnings that I cash out.

They then make up for some of the deposits, but overall I can't cover my livelihood with it!

Poker helps me but not much. The main thing is to properly manage your bankroll.

When your favorite activity brings you income, even if it's small, it's still very pleasant.:)

Maybe if I played professionally, but since that's not the case, because I'm content with what comes from time to time, and I take advantage of it to give gifts to my wife and son, it works for me

It seems every time I visit this forum there is this same recurring Question "Can I make a Living from Poker?" or "Can I make money Playing Poker?"
Sure You can! You can make money from almost anything if you put the Work into it! And that's the important word "WORK!"
Nothing you can do to make money comes for free! It takes Hard Work, Dedication, and Patience!
Poker is no different, You have to put in the Hours of Hard Work into it, To get anything out of it!

Poker is like driving a car: only you know how well you play. The problem is that our assessment of ourselves is often completely wrong. Everyone earns a little here, if you don’t win anything, then it’s not worth playing.

Of course, I would like to make money from poker, but that requires dedicating all my time and effort to it. For now, I play freerolls and enjoy the thrill of the game.

I think you should play free tournaments, they will definitely make you a small profit, but at least this is the amount you will earn after you learn to play very well, you can invest this money in large tournaments with a big prize and you will win there and you will make yourself rich as you wanted, but this is a long way to go, the main thing is to learn poker and everything will come to those who are patient

So does this means that on (rare) occassions you dont win anything in (cardchat) freerolls you are going to starve :unsure:

I think not) Only a small number of poker players have a stable income in poker

My retirement income supports my lifestyle well enough. Not rich. Not poor. My poker game is recreational. Live, I play with friends who are very loose, and not very poker literate. That makes me a long term winner at that table. casinos have priced their games out of my range, so I no longer lose there - although my losses were about equal to the cost of the rake and tips. Could not get past that hump. Online, I only play on PokerStars. I have a small bankroll and have only made one deposit and one withdrawal over all the years I've been playing.
Combining all three modes, I don't make money, but the money coming in from my friends keeps me close to even.

I've tried to make money with online poker, but the emotional stuff gets in the way, maybe one day, studying more...

Poker brings me a steady income, but I don't see poker as my main source of income. For me, poker is a hobby that primarily brings me pleasure. The money I win is just a nice bonus :)

I have to agree with you, my first thought when entering a game is am I going to enjoy Playing this, and the answer has to be Yes! Otherwise I just don't play. I have had nights when I just couldn't be bothered playing and as soon as I log-in, I have shut it down again.
Poker doesn't have to be about winning Money! The pleasure comes from just being part of the game, and if I don't feel that then I give up.
