I'm not saying that this will be an easy task, I see a lot of players saying that they take poker as a hobby, or as a form of extra income, saying that if you want to make money, you need a job, but not with poker. Well then, let's get to the topic, we know that there are some satellite tournaments where you have the opportunity to win tickets to big tournaments, such as Sunday Storm, Sunday Million among others. The question I ask is this: is it possible to achieve great things and change your life by playing poker? Do you think it is possible to get rich with poker or is it just a form of extra income, hobby and fun. Leave your opinion.

Of course, you can play poker, work on your game, and don't give up.

Anything is possible; you can get rich, or you can get poor, or you can have fun as a hobby. :)

Let me be very straightforward with facts mate , only 5% players are profitable even in high stakes and only 1% players make it super big from very small bankroll . That being said a good planning and great poker game can take you very long way . For example you sattied into a game , win that all the way between for 20-50k , that itself might night seem huge money but if you learn the other trades like stocks /crypto trading alongside , you can use that funds to make lifelong income . Even though that will come from dif source of income , but your initial win from poker is the 1st stepping stone in realizing that.

So yes its possible if you plan it right

looking at what you mean by the word get rich. But it seems to me that this is possible, although not easy.

Hi :)
For me, poker is entertainment. But I have no doubts that poker can become a source of constant and good income. Everything depends on you, on your patience, discipline, perseverance and willingness to work. Can a person get rich working at work? .... the question is very relative. For those for whom poker is a job, the answer is probably yes, it can.
Good luck :)

I agree with this opinion, poker can make you rich but it takes a lot of hard work. The more you know and the more experience you have, the less luck you need.
In lotteries you only need luck and in poker you also need skill, which is why in casinos you never play poker against the casinos, only against other players, because it is an EV+ game (depends on skill)

Think wsop winners and you have the answer.
If you "just" win one World Cup, you can already be a multimillionaire.
But if you start small and increase the stake, you can continuously reach this level.
Those who have this profession can make a pretty good living from it.

You can become rich doing almost anything, I started selling Kindling to start Coal fires back in the 60s as a Ten year old, dragging it around in a little hand cart, selling it in my Neighbourhood, My Friends used to laugh at me but I made so much money I bought myself a Bicycle so I could drag it around behind my bike. I was the only Kid on the estate that had a brand new bike,
This taught me that the only way to become Rich is to work hard, and keep working hard, Even if it comes from playing Poker! You need to study every week, The important thing for me is I have worked hard all my life, Am I Rich? That depends on what you consider Rich, I Live a reasonably comfortable life with no money worries, no rent or mortgage to pay, I have no debt to worry about, and my Pensions pay for all my needs, so some would say I have made it because I don't need to work ever again, and that comes to Poker! Do I study every week? No thanks I don't need to because Poker is a Game, a Pastime I can take or Leave, nothing more than a Hobby!

Of course, you can get rich playing poker, you just have to spend a lot of time and work on yourself in poker because you have to practice learning poker and learning satellites are cool stuff, you can go very far with them and then win a big prize and increase your bankroll and play tournaments at a higher price

I think it is possible, but in order to make poker your main source of income you need to put in a lot of effort!!!

It's possible. Requires hard work. Competition is massive.
But I believe yes.

For me, poker is more entertainment) But I don’t think working for someone is an option either. Work most often crosses out all dreams... That's why I created a mini-production that can be developed. The speed of profit depends only on me, and not on bad luck or wrong moves :)

In both cases the answer is yes. This is confirmed by many poker players who have become millionaires. Some of them became rich very quickly.

You can win big prizes and be among the elite of poker for decades, but only a very few players manage to do that, but we have to strive for it, and maybe one day we too will be able to get to the TOP. ;)

Yes, there is a small chance that you will get rich playing poker. But you shouldn’t waste all your energy on this chance. It’s better to get a profession that will bring you income, learn to do something.

I think the answer is yes. But you must dedicate many years to it, I imagine, and 100% of your time as if it were a job. And even then it shouldn't be for everyone.
