It's definitely not easy. To make it easy, you have to be patient and disciplined. Being patient and disciplined is never easy. But if you want it, it's possible :)

If it was so easy most people would not be losing money on it.

Playing poker tournaments is easy and fun, but to be profitable requires that you study and have discipline to have an advantage over your opponents in the long term.

Probably, as in any business, everything in poker seems complicated at once, but after a while you gain experience and everything becomes much easier.

The game itself is pure pleasure and if you play at the right level, it brings good profits.

It definitely is. I'll never regret starting to play tournaments eight years ago. It's been a lot of fun and I've met loads of nice people. :) It has also provided me with an excuse to travel to Vegas for my birthday the past three years. For regular casino games i could just drive down the road to Foxwoods, but you can't find multiple poker tournaments running pretty much all day around here. :)

Playing poker tournaments is really good, but if you want to be profitable it's not easy. To win well at poker you need to be good and consistent, you need to study, and cultivate new habits to be a winner.

Yes... Poker is an easy way to get angry. lol
Money comes with time and dedication... Usually being a little above average already guarantees you some return.

It all depends on your goals and what you are willing to do to achieve them!

It's simple. If you play for fun, it's easy, enjoyable, and exciting. If money doesn't matter to you, then everything becomes very simple :)

It all depends on how you look at it. If you're just sitting in front of your computer and pressing three buttons with one finger, it's not difficult at all. But guessing when to press the right button is where the real challenge begins.

Participating in poker tournaments seems easy at first glance, but in reality, it’s not that simple.
On one hand, anyone can register and sit at the table — online platforms are user-friendly, the rules are usually straightforward, and freerolls are even free. So in that sense, there’s no problem.
On the other hand, the tournament itself requires focus, patience, and strategy. You need to read your opponents, manage your stack properly, choose the right moments for aggression and bluffing. One wrong decision can cost you half your stack or even knock you out.
So yes, participating is easy — if we’re just talking about the formal side: click “join” and you’re in.
But playing well and actually winning is a whole different level, one that demands experience and discipline.
