Play against players that are worse than you.

Becoming a profitable full-time poker player takes discipline, bankroll management, constant study, and emotional control. Talent helps, but consistency is what separates winning players from losing ones. Treat poker like a business, not just a game.

You have to get very good at finding the soft tables and low variance tournament formats.

Can you suggest something to study in?!

Grind the game... "learn" the game... find your luck... when unlucky, stop loosing money & just play for fun. A lot of good players will not profit in the game for a few lucky players to profit.

Lots of study and patience. That´s what I heard.

For this you need years, years of experience and daily hard work. It is quite possible that in 3-5 years you will be able to achieve your goal. Are you ready to work for your goal for the next 3-5 years, without any guarantees?

As professional players who have achieved great success in poker say, you need to understand what variance is and how to deal with it. They also recommend learning the game at micro-stakes rather than in freerolls, because the learning process is much more effective there.

Becoming a profitable full-time poker player takes more than just winning sessions. You need strong bankroll management, emotional discipline, game selection, and consistent study habits. The best pros treat poker like a business — tracking results, reviewing mistakes, and avoiding games where they don’t have an edge.

Study way more than you play. Its just like a sport, pro athletes practice way more than they compete.

Joining a training site or hiring a coach can expedite your journey.

The more you put into it the more you will get out.

Toruk Makto · May 15, 2026

Study and dedicate yourself with a lot of patience!

odonob · May 15, 2026

Pffft, not sure it’s possible. Too much variance, especially online, too many bad beats to get a good run. Maybe win a bit tournament. Cash is too difficult to make a profit at. Too difficult psychologically also, a lot of stress.

lyki67 · May 15, 2026

You must:
- have enough money to focus on poker and not on working every day for $100 or $200,
- learn much about poker...read, watch, think, play, PLay, PLAY......,
- be inteligent to understand that all and make your own way,
- be some crazy ...and lucky...to win unpossibile things (hands).

Build a bankroll minimum 1000$ and never try to deposit your own money. Thats how i started winning in poker. After my fist 100$ i tried to use only 5% of my bankroll and so far it really worked.

First you need to study, you can see some streamer who is a good poker player, nowadays there are several on twitch, AABarOne 888 pro for example.
You also need very good banking control, you regularly have to play with 1% of your bankroll, for example $100 would be $1 low tournaments.
And you need to play a lot of tournaments, cramming in a lot of tournament volume to beat the variance.

The key is be patient and trust ur guts, altough ur position at BB or BTN if ur card is good just go for it dont hesitate to commit.

JhonnyThe357 · May 16, 2026

That's the million-dollar question. 😅
I believe that basically, one should invest, study, and maintain discipline.

akgross · May 16, 2026

First, choose a specific game discipline that you enjoy and feel confident in. Then, study all the obvious and hidden aspects of the game. Try to understand your opponent's logic. Good luck in the game.
