Hello, I usually play tournaments and there are streaks, what I think is that if you want to make a living from this you would have to play cash, because in the long run the best player always wins, in tournaments you can play very well but if a fish comes with 74o and You break your AA pair on the flop with a three of a kind or a double pair you go home, and believe me you won't sleep that night ajajajaj

It is profitable. I like playing freerolls since you don't have to pay anything to play. If I win then I can win $50 or more. It's always exciting when this happens!

I’m not thinking anyone can beat the micro bet. I’m thinking about what qualities someone needs to have in order to reach a level to make a good living from poker. You have to play a lot, you have to analyze a lot.
What can be done if someone is able to play a lot at many tables but is unable to analyze, learn?
What can be done if someone analyzes a lot and understands they could beat the field but can't play much? Do you think so?

Since the BR is so non-steel right now, I’m going to neglect the Sunday Storm and the like a bit, the 25-cent SNGs will replace it. They start with 45 and 90 people at the starson. I pushed a couple as a test, you can get there to a paying position, also to FT. Because at my heart I would push the GT, but there the 15BI feels a little small for me.

If you play exclusively freerolls, then it will always be profitable, provided, of course, that you pay off the electricity)))
Theoretically, and with great luck, you can make a deposit and get a profit without it. But how often will this repeat?

In order for you to become profitable in poker, you must follow some rules.

-stay focused
-manage very well your bankroll
-study a lot
-practice a lot.
-dedicate yourself

this is the receipt for success.

Good luck and have fun!

Sound advice but sometimes, the tilt just gets you and it will hurt. If only we can remove the emotions, 'no? But where's the fun in that?

So, we play the game and profit is not really what we're after.

I'm reading the comments curiously..Unfortunately, I've been on the pole. True, I'm playing freerolls right now, but about 90% of the cards are unplayable.

I am not in profit at the moment. So far, I'm working on my skill. I hope in the future I will make a profit​

I love fast poker, I could also say that it was invented for me and anyone with more experience in fast poker knows that the legend that there is no dynamics here is not true, stats are not worth much; of course they accumulate more slowly, they must be treated gently, but they can be used very well against the old. I also tried the standard NL HOLDEM, but honestly, I don't have the patience for "table select" and it also bothers me that the players are sitting in and out, their number is constantly changing ... with zoom there is no gulp, of course the smaller the winrate and the larger the swings - that’s a fact.

The beginning of the week was a brutal siding, which was a massive fall due to the rake. Lots of coolers, all my top pairs improved on the second pair on the turn or river. Many QQ vs KK AK va AA, etc. Then came a final blow that came in for technical reasons. Placemin (which does automatic desktop layout) was set (already configured) for me to organize all "NLH" windows. As a result, when the software crashes, e.g. random closes a table, freezes the whole thing, etc. which is quite common, it reorganizes everything when you restart, open a new desktop. So I managed to add 4 NL100 tables to the 12 tables nicely between the NL10 tables over time, nicely after a reboot… I don’t know why and how, but it has happened before. It was also weird at one table that someone raised to 2.1BB, but no one was familiar at the table. In the meantime, I also lost a BI in an AJ vs AK 2 pair fight… Needless to say, it was on the NL100 table. Of course, none of this shows up as you’re playing in BB… During a session, I sometimes update my schedule to see if it’s going to take a break. Well, that wonderful fall wasn't hard to blame. In the midst of a tremendous amount of swearing, I found that there were also 4 imposing tables. I took a half-hour swearing break. They managed to close the week to close to $ 300. Well, I immediately rewrote the systematization to organize "NLH Red" tables so that it would rot, it would show up if I opened the wrong one. Thank goodness the others had no action I just pressed a few hands. After that I worked 2 days more intensely and only on Friday and yesterday I really grinded, which already went nicely there was no more problem. So it turned out to be a plus for the week, but my game will be in for a while longer because of this little adventure. Another 150 BI NL10 is the target.

I try to understand the systematic chance of winning a game with a pair of aces, what I can help with this is that I only raise very little or not at all on a small bet, but I make a big bet, for example, at tables 1-2 2-4 5-10 money has weight. What do you think about this?

I’m not really happy with yesterday’s and today’s results, although I know I’ve played few hands. However, I want to improve, so there will no longer be a game just for the cc freeroll and probably not tomorrow. I'm going to watch videos.

Today was not as good as yesterday. 40tour and just that I was able to save the day to 0.
I’ve been running pretty well this year in the last 80 races, I can really put my two hands together to BE. My premium cards hold a minimal% against small pairs, this is now a hit.
the other that is quite common now is flopped poker. Fortunately, you get 2-3 of them every day.

I need a little advice or an opinion, I’m wondering what you think about it: The point is, players like me who play poker pretty much for the sake of earning money try to win $ 500-1000. How fishy is it that I feel like I’m running a really good session or block and leave the game that day ??? Lately, I’ve been spade pack saddles for as little as $ 30-40 in 1 hour (I said something) and I think I’m tired because I worked bitches and came home in the morning and I leave the game that day. Actually, the starsos rb doesn’t move, it doesn’t either, I don’t think I would have such a large amount to count anyway.

"My best friend (hobby poker player, plays something once a month, brutally pushes badly) meanwhile won a bounty builder 5.5 tournament. For $ 3000+. I played a 5-6k tournament. AND I NEVER WON THIS TIME. luckily, everyone won all in from a bad position. In the meantime, of course, I reset my bankroll. "

And which games you playing? If you are playing 5usd mtt with 50usd bankroll, so it is very possible that you will lose all your money. And that have more reasons like: you are unlucky, bad beats, not enough knowledge, dont use bankroll managment and many others. So firt of all you should strat at lowest limit that are existing (25c probably) and first of all you must learn beat this limit and earn some money. Yes, I know that prize pool on this limit is very small and boring but its like ladder, you must start at ground and climb up, you can jump 4meters high, right?
