if you play a tournament as a recrational you can win it, now playing regularly at the tables is never going to be profitable for a recreational without a game strategy
 
I think depends on the player and how much do you study, play and want to learn more about the game itself, but there´s no limits if you are a smart player
 
I guess it depends on the skill of the player. If the player is good, he will have more money in the account.
 
Oh, I just noticed that Jamie Gold was considered a recreational player back in 2006... So 12,000,000 usd seems a good amount for an amateur to win?

In just one tournament! 😀
 
With ACR and The Venom you can win a million dollars for free. They give you plenty of chances to do it. Anyone can a tournament if you get lucky enough.
 
I will honest... Noone. I am on negative 0 count on my bankroll at pokerstars. That doesn't mean i am not trying to make some money... just i dont have luck with cards 😑😑😑😑

Click to expand...

large is always relevant to the person. if you care to revise your post and define large sum is to you we can help you much better. 😉
 
I can not call winning few $ here and there earnings but for little more than 2 years i am around 60$ ahead. Most of these are from freerolls though so nothing to speak of. Well at least i am not at minus. 🙂
 
you can start winning with a bank of 10 dollars, you just need to be carefuly and soon you will earn something
 
time defines everything...

You could say recreational player as well as a hobby, and being that way it all depends on the time you give it. If you are participating in a low buy-in tournament, the minimum is 2 hours, and if you want to get more profit, you should participate in higher buy-in tournaments, therefore the time will be longer, at least 5 hours.
For all this, the formula would be:
The more time + earnings.🙄🙄
 
excellent question, everything that is profit when you are an amateur player is great (having fun and making a profit), putting a number is difficult, it varies in the amounts you play.😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
 
As a recreational player, whatever the game costs you has to be worth it. We're not all Chris Moneymaker, most of us will be permanently in the red column over our lifetime. If you enjoy the game you'll always have wins. There will be months when you cash some out and long spells when you wonder why you bother, but as a player for near 20 years I'm begging you not to see poker as a way to make quick $$$s, play because you enjoy it and see what comes.
 
There are many good recreational players who, if they tried to play professionally, would win good amounts.
But a professional player needs time, discipline and focus. Something that few players can do.
 
I think it depends on what type of tournaments you play, there are times that in a single tournament of not much money you can make up to $ 200 or $ 400 per month, but there are others in which you pay an entry of $ 11 even if it is recreational and you can win a lot In a single day, first we would have to define what you mean by recreational and go from there.

%10 to %25 ROI most can do about %15 ROI so every $100 in tournaments will net AVG $15

For a $100 bankroll playing $1 sit n gos or MTTS count about .10-.20 cents per tournament
 
The nice thing about poker is that anything is possible.
Even a hobby poker or novice player can win huge amounts.
 
In my opinion, an ordinary amateur player can earn from 1$ 1 to10$ with a basic knowledge of poker, but an amateur with a good knowledge of mathematics can easily develop his winnings from 10$ -100$
 
I add 200-250$p/m as a side income(that's half the average monthly salary in my country).
 
If you're a recreational player then its a just a hobby. How many hobbies are there where you can make any money at all?

Most rec players lose money. They are the donors who make the poker economy possible. Others study the game in enough depth and get skilled enough to eke out a profit. How much can you make? As much as a professional, hypothetically. But to do that you'll be working as hard as they do.
 
I was thinking it would be nice to make an extra $250 a month, but then realities hits in. You gotta work full time hours on off shifts to make any money. You gotta be willing to go into the hole alittle first and hope the cashes offset. I dont know what the golden age was like but this age it seems like a lot of work.
 
If you have a huge bankroll , you can make $1k monthly if you're a decent player. Then I would start with $10k bankroll.
