Players' earnings are not always stable every day. Even top professionals suffer weeks and months of losses

I play poker for enjoyment and relaxation. I have no desire to even attempt turning something that I enjoy as a hobby into a living.

Well, that's the million-dollar question. It depends on whether you have talent and patience. I've managed to make this profitable, along with another source of income. I play tournaments for less than $22 and satellites for less than $3 to get tickets to play in tournaments. It's a process you have to go through yourself to see if things work out for you. It's worth noting that this takes time; how long is unknown, it depends on each player. My advice is not to risk your money if you're depositing and depositing. It's better to look for other income streams.
 
When I started many years ago (I think around 20 years ago), I had that goal, but the online poker was very different from what it is today. Nowadays, I only play poker as a hobby.

I'm not going to tell you not to play. I'm not going to lie and tell you that you can't make money at poker if you study and play a lot. But you will get better at almost anything else. don't set any goals for myself.
 
I think that to play live you need to have money, because unlike freerolls like the ones at the casino in my city, there are people who make many re-entries and have a lot of money; there are no limitations. The advantage over online is that here you can study a player more closely, their hands, their gestures, everything.

I share your thoughts. It's like everyone thinks they can make a living at poker, when, in reality, less than one tenth of one percent actually do...very similar to writing...everyone who can lift a pen thinks they can write...I'm not sure that Mark Twain, Hemingway, Tolkien, JK Rowling, Steinbeck or Dr. Seuss would not agree.

Most people I know who play, myself included play for the love of the game. The money side of it means nothing at all to me personally, even if you have zero you can play for free via cardschat tournaments.

Hello, I really think that a living from poker is the goal of most players today but that cannot be achieved without having love for this sport because in moments of fall you must have the necessary strength to climb.
