Few people make a lot of money.
I make enough money to have fun, that is poker to me, a fun pastime.:)

It's a very good hourly rate:). How long do you play daily? What game do you like?

It definitely can be profitable, just take a solid game strategy and some serious luck and you can rack up some serious cash playing poker online.

Of course if someone wins the sundaymilion it is clear that it is profitable. But do I think that it could produce profits every day? Because unfortunately I do not succeed. There are some successes I can only make a long-term loss:(

For me it is profitable. I do not play for my money. I'm playing for money that I won on freerolls. People play poker with different motives. One wants to just play for fun, but others want something to win.

Poker is not just a game for luck or fun. If you want to be successfull in it you must always learn, practice, read literature and apply the knowledge gained in practice. GL!

You can only learn so much from books. You must learn to develop your own game and go through the swings yourself to fully understand and get better.

Read Harrington's book, a very powerful book. My opinion is very useful for a beginner and not only a player, promotion of conservative poker. Read, you will understand. At least 1 volume.

Poker is profitable if you put in the 1000's of hours and hands and learn the game, strategy's, calculations and above all have disciplined bankroll management.

I think that poker tournaments are only profitable for professional players online because all poker sites are provably unfair and there are poker tournaments which gives bigger winning pot then all buy ins together.

It is still a game of chance mixed with mathematics and other factors. The advice is, never spend what you have not contemplated spending or you will lose.

Well, in general, for me it is profitable :) that it's only recently that everything is neo-trashy, moving for the move in the final stages of the tournament, poker star does not allow me to reach the final table :(
