How much monthly income do you want to earn by playing poker?

thesternburglar · Jan 31, 2022

Money goal is not the issue for me.

I'm a software engineer and my poker income is not something I care about. Being a winner is always a plus. Often times becoming better at the game is a better outcome for me. I play $1-$5 buy in tournaments online and just getting into the money places are what I shoot to rank my success.

1500$

lyki67 · Jan 31, 2022

About $2000...but that will never happen.

One trillion dollars!

having patience and self-control, knowing when to get up from the table is also imperative.

As long as I am playing good there is no reason to 'get up from the table'. I don't plan my sessions based upon luck.

If we're wanting to be winning $50/day on average we need to be able to beat the games at a certain number of bb/100 hands. Some days we might lose $100... and some we might win $7. If we're studying/working on our game, it's just a matter of putting in the time, finding the right tables, staying within proper bankroll management, and working on a Poker mindset (ie. Tilt control for starters).

It's not for income. Sounds too formal. When I do get a few hundred to my credit card, I usually take my buddies drinking.

i don't play poker for income because i know this is essentially gambling like casino they always say house always wins. That being said there are very few people making good money playing poker. By few i mean tiny tiny percent

Welllllllllll... Technically if the other players at the table are playing better would be a reason even if you're playing well

My question ( which is in the part you cut out of my message has not been answered ).

And as for 'knowing when to get up from the table' , I never mentioned winning or losing. Just about knowing when to get up from the table. It could be winning, it could be asking. There will always be a 'right time to get up from the table'. Or do you suppose we should never get up from the table?
Please, when replying with Quote, please do not delete parts of my message so that we can all follow the reasoning without having to look for the previous message to understand the context. Besides, to me it sounded like hiding a part I had no answer for.

I give up.

I was attempting to help. Sorry, my time is limited.

No argument, not really. I understand.
No problem!

My goal from poker is fun, Very few people earn an income from the game.

Acadien07 · Feb 9, 2022

Not planning to retire to play poker!

Me if I could win a little bit of money and play my favourite tournament KO just really like those tournaments don’t have to make big money just enjoy playing those tournaments!👋

danoscar · Feb 9, 2022

Hello. I like to make just enough to stay in the game.

mavrulit · Feb 9, 2022

Hey! Personally, I would be satisfied with the amount of 600-800 dollars a month. Since the state supports me, and our state does not consider it necessary to pay more than 150 dollars a month to people who cannot earn a normal income on their own, I have to work as a moderator and sometimes receive 1 dollar a day. But I'm not complaining, not at all) Yes, I'm tired of poverty! But I have enough strength to get out of this difficult situation! I will try as I tried before.

jason2626 · Feb 9, 2022

I don't really look at it as a income or job I just have limits I can lose and I stick to it it's entertainment to me I have fun playing

DAVID KEHRER · Feb 9, 2022

How much would you need for a normal life?
I'm not talking about millions, hundreds, or tens of thousands.
I'm talking about a real income that you would spend on a normal life.
Personally, I would have enough monthly income of $800-$1000.
Although we are all human and we always want more.

Agree with your estimate.
This is minimum for a normal lifestyle.

Millions and billions

Akuana · Feb 10, 2022

$1,000 a month would be enough for me. But for now I plan to play without a loss. This is my intermediate goal.

Perhaps you are already earning tens of thousands?

If he says daily 50$ I'm thinking that until he didn't reach that 50$ he won't stand from the computer. The monthly 1000$ sounds that he can have many days in minus, but some wins and deep runs can actually make him up to 1000$ which worth daily 50$ but not the same time & attitude towards the bankroll management or daily poker in general.

So I meant to reflect to "Okay. We already know how to get to $1000 a month. Now we have to figure out how to get to $50 a day" This part as we don't have to change our working system to another which means completely different constancy.

And as much I can't imagine to seeing my performance in daily limits like profiting each poker-day with this amount (just in bigger times f.e. monthly) I imagined a theory to maybe make it easier to see what is the amount of games and probably which levels to thinking about this plan's success. Or do you have one for it, if you know this ain't working for the MTTs in daily perspective?

Yes it's too difficult for me to plan on making 'X' 'amount of $'s per day in the short run. It is much better to plan on how much volume we will play per day, week, or month.
ie. I will work towards playing 2,500 hands/day.... or 8,000 hands/week ...or perhaps 30,000 hands/month.
These numbers actually aren't out of the norm for what I currently play as I'm typically playing 1,000 hands/hour.

hcuervo · Feb 10, 2022

Per month I would like to earn more or less 300 dollars per month to play quietly every month

Bacarino01 · Feb 10, 2022

For the time that im putting in , 200 $ will be good

At the moment the focus is on having fun and study. After it? Will see
