Is poker a waste of money?

[jirasuonna]

Good evening! Need advice. I want to raise an initial bankroll at freeroll. Which book do you recommend to read in the first place and why?

Did you find anything good?

I am assuming you want to spend as little money as possible.

if it turns into an addiction i believe so but you are also having fun so who knows

or maybe a waste of time?

I don't think it should be, but for most of people... yeah, it is.

There's so many people who plays just for fun.

I usually play freerolls then I don't lose money

It may be at the beginning. For those who don't know, and for adventurers in passing, more for those who love poker can make it a great source of income.

It's different for everybody. You could grind freerolls and make a little of off them, and don't spend your own money. Or you are a gambler, you spend 100$ every time you play, just for a chance to win for, and eventually you end up in a huge minus. It's all about the approach, but still, if you are a good player and you know what you are doing, poker could become a 9-5 replacement, in general some people lose money some people make money, there's no universal formula😁
