REMEMBER poker is the only thing where you can make money because you play against other people, not the house! sure there is rake, but it is beatable if you DYOR. anyone that says "IT'S GAMBLING!!" literally doesn't know what they are talking about. Especially Sit'n'Gos and Tourneys, they have been solved, you can find everything you need for free online. If you play at lower stakes you will be playing against fish, same for Cash.

yeah most of these pros all have that kind of cringe content. makes you wonder if they were only able to attain their skill level by doing all this mental work before, or if it came after years of run good. probably just a grift for most of them "take my mental course before you even take my poker course." there are plenty of pros that tilt all the time, though. if you are 12 tabling though it's definitely necessary to look at the long term big picture.

shitload of scamming going on yah. Tons of collusion teams, bitcoin scams etc. I played heavily at seals with clubs when it first opened. It was one of, if not the first bitcoin poker site that ever opened. It is how I got into bitcoin to begin with when it was 7 dollars a coin. Lots of poker players started playing bitcoin poker after black friday because it was legal as where cash games werent.

It was the wild west, those vanilla cash cards had just come out and their competitots as well, I forget what they were all called now. AMEX blue card? Where you could do cash to cash transfers, NETSPEND etc and people would send cash xfer to people for chips (chips = bitcoin) and get scammed right and left, shit was hilarious. (it was really hard to buy BTC back then there were no exchanges or any of the shit there is now you mostly could only buy it from someone that mined it or localbitcoins website and shit)

Bots are illegal on most sites, if not all. If you get caught using one they will cancel your account and keep the money. I can easily spot a bot at my table in an hour or so playing at it.

As far as how long it took me is hard to say really. I played poker my whole life but never really played seriously until about 2002 or so. I learned all the math and played my proverbial "10,000" hands.

Most people who are sharks will tell you it will take you 10k hands to be at real world level status. However long it takes you to get in 10k hands is up to you. I would say from the time I got serious about poker until I was someone who can sit down with world class players and hold my own was about 3 years of playing all weekend every weekend when I was in college.

Do you think those guys make millions of dollars off playing poker?

A free roll is a game that is free to play with a few bucks payout. You win a free roll then play the cheap tables or little sit and gos until you build up to about 30 bucks or so and you can start buying into 10 dollar sit and gos and you are on your way then because you are making enough to buy into big tournies. I can cash about 80 percent of 10 player sit and gos at any buy in. The hardest part is making the first 10 bucks after that hell I can be in the 1000's in about 2 weeks or so

oh i got you, my bad, I forget that's what they were called. So you think the sit an gos are the way to go versus the regular ring/ round tables?

With the ring tables I can creep up and don't get blinded out by raised blinds and antes, but it takes forever.
With the tourneys its' more like bar play, but you get bumped by blinds if you can't catch some action in time.

Maybe I'll try some. When I was playing in bars I would final table maybe 80% or more of the time, and almost never end in the bottom half of the field. I even came in 1st 3 times with 35-70 players. I'll have to look at the payout schedules more closely.

Good point, I don’t think theyre a scam based on the way they replied to my suggestions for re-buy calculations, but always could be I guess. When we first stopped playing in person we tried a few sites and this had the most customization options for private tourneys. Instead of everyone piling money on there though, we all chipped in for like $50 worth of BCH at the time and distributed it around. We’d host tournaments with like a $0.003 buy-in on the site but would pay the winners at the end with real money thru paypal or something like that.
We tried WSOP and a handful of other garbage casino-run poker sites, almost none had private tourneys and the ones that did sucked and were extremely limited

3. How much did/do you play between live/online?
4. I'm a fledgling live semipro; can beat 1/2 - 2/5 comfortably with biggest edge being exploiting passive tendency of the live low stakes pool and live reads/tells. Obviously I have a decent understanding of the general theory, but I honestly haven't spent much time diving deep into GTO or thorough study of frequencies, etc. Would it make more sense to gradually study those more and slowly implement it into my live play, or go balls deep studying it and practice it with tons of hands online before retransitioning to live with the newfound technical skills?

1. I explained earlier I used a lot of drugs when I was playing poker for a living and when I quit drugs and booze I just quit gambling as well. Well kinda, I trade forex now, pretty much exactly the same as poker in the mechanics but bigger payouts with a lot less work.

As Doyle Brunson used to say "Poker is a tough way to make an easy living." You will get burned out eventually, at least I did. I got burned out as a software dev too though, I just like moving on to new things I guess in that regard.

2. Yes

3. Depends on the time period. I preferred online just because I like the comfort of my home to get high and play poker in if I just want a game. I do love playing at the casino though if I want to be around people, hot chicks as well. Just depends on your mood really. When I was in college I lived in GA and there were no casinos anywhere to play at. I am from Louisville KY though with a riverboat casino about 15 aways from where I grew up so I spent a lot of time there too.

I would practice it online. You can do plays you wouldnt do live. Online is a totally diff game really, online you have to perfect your math game, the tells online are totally diff than irl. Again though everyone is different, so just do what makes you feel most comfortable would be my advice. You can get more hands way faster online so your learning curve will be a lot shorter if you practice there first

Interesting stuff, I can understand your mentality on it. Personally I find the game theory so interesting and love playing live sitting for 10-20 hrs sober with no problem, but we'll have to see how permanent that is. You trade forex, but surely you trade crypto as well? lol

What's an example of a play you could do online but not live? The only thing that comes to mind would be something requiring lots of leveling whereas live you would almost never go beyond 1 or 2 levels unless you have specific history with a player.

I know you're more online oriented but any insight into the live market? If you're comfortable sharing your general location right now and how the live games are and if private games are a lot more profitable than casino and how to get invited to those. I'm thinking about moving to Florida for the live scene that has decent money splashing around and more suitable politically than the other markets with money.

Doing power plays mostly. Stealing blinds and playing power poker is a lot easier online and people are used to it so you will get away with it a lot more than you will in live games because people playing live games dont tend understand a lot of power poker plays. Also making weird calls because of a read you have on someone and the reads on internet poker are more telling sometimes then irl tells like timing of their bets and size patterns etc. It is a lot easier to watch an entire table online and learn their tells and style of play.

Well you arent gonna get good live games unless you know people so your best if you prefer live is to move somewhere that has casinos. Florida is a nice spot, I have a condo in orlando myself. Their governor told that jew wannabe Biden to fuck off as well so they have that going for them.

I can tell just by the terms you use and how you talk about the game you will be fine. You will be a winning player if you arent already. If you want to play poker for a living move by a casino. Sticks casions are much better than vegas and tlantic city etc. They will be smaller so people who are regulars may get to know you more than a bigger place but that's fine. Mostly only the dealers and other regulars get to know regulars at a card doom anyway. You sound young and hungry, only a few years into it but really into and making a go at it. You should be able to make a mill in less than 5 years if you stick with it, learn not to tilt and how to manage your money and dont pivl up bad habits that orbit gamblers and casions.

Wanna know how I know you know nother about math? You are comparing apples ornages. There is nothing of value you can learn from how much you win in a period of time other than to tell your wife when you will be home for dinner. It is an absolutely useless metric other than a novelty for your own mental mastrubation.

it may have been a standard in some form a very long time ago, but it really isn't anymore
you can even search in 2p2 and people there tend to say 1k hours at least, which is still too low
but both figures are simply way too low (and 400 hours is borderline ridiculous)
here's a very simple tool that will simulate any sample given a certain winrate and standard deviation
pic related you can see a very skilled (20BB/100) player playing a game with medium variance over 10khands/400hours and just how inconclusive their results will be over 20 trials

I played poker professionally for 10 years but I've been trading stocks since casinos shut down in the US, only played in a few private games since the shutdown.

I used to play online quite a lot, on all the sites before black friday (burger), thing is I didn't get burned on black friday because I never kept a big amount on any site, I was always trying to get my money off the sites as fast as possible because I never trusted the online sites. You'd be a fool to keep a lot of money on a fucking online casino for a very long period of time.

When I played online regularly I averaged around $8k a month playing a bunch of tables at different stakes, mostly $200 HUNLHE and when I switched to playing live I averaged about $100 an hour mostly playing $5/$5/$10 NL and $3/$5 PLO. I've won a few tournaments but I've never been much of a tournament player, play them very rarely because to me tournaments are a huge waste of time when I could just play cash games instead.

I don't really watch a lot of videos or streamers, they're mostly for entertainment imo and >>29101964 is right in that there are a lot more entertaining games than poker. The thing is I don't give a single fuck about poker the game as a game, poker is a soft hustle I play poker for money. If there was no money in poker I wouldn't play it but there's a lot of easy money in poker and there always will be.

There's still money you can make online but you have to recognize it is MUCH easier to get cheated online. People have been colluding with each other in the same room, using bots, getting superuser accounts, hacking other players to see their hole cards, exit scamming players for all their deposits etc since the very first days of partypoker. You can still win online, but you have to recognize it is easy to get cheated and also if you do get cheated online nobody is going to give a fuck if you do.

It's just something you have to factor into the cost-benefit analysis of an online

I play in LA where there isn't $2/$5 games, only $3/$5 and $5/$5 and $5/$5 generally turns into $5/$5/$10 as soon as people decide to put the straddle on, and when I'm in a game, any game, I'm always trying to get the straddle put on as soon as possible because 2 blind NL sucks dick 3 blind NL is a much, much better game. I actually wouldn't play a 2 blind 100 big blind game at this point in my career I either like to play 3 blind, uncapped $5/$10, or an ante game. 2 blind 100bb NL is gay solved bullshit that attracts nits and primarily online player autists who ruin the game and 3 blind/ante/deepstacked games are action games that scare those kinds of players away and make for much better games. The last time I played $2/$5 was like 8-9 years ago in Vegas during one of my first WSOPs, now when I go to the WSOP I like to play much bigger cash games than I usually do so it's been a long ass time since I've played $2/$5 and I don't know what winrates are like for those games, you can probably average like $40/hr in a $2/$5 game if you're a good player with good game selection?

Ya there's tons of players who have made a killing online it's just something that you have to factor into the cost-benefit analysis that you can get cheated or scammed when you play. It's the same as when I go to play in an underground game today, part of the cost-benefit analysis is that I have to factor in the chance that the game could get robbed or shut down by the cops and everyone gets their money stolen.

SWC was based, I didn't play a whole lot on seals but I did have an account on seals and made some good money on there because it had 2 features that were extremely sick. 1 was a global chat room so you could lurk in the chat and see which players were on tilt and then go sit their table, which was free money, and the other feature was that they had a built in staking system which let you stake players and get an immediate payout without any chance of them running off with the winnings, which was awesome. There was one player on SWC who would play the daily NL tournaments and final table them at an insanely high rate, like the highest of any tournament player I've ever seen, and then take the money he won every day and go sit down at the biggest PLO table he could sit at and lose fucking all of it lol and then come back in chat the next day begging for a stake. I staked him every day for a long time and watched him do the exact same thing over and over again, dude just couldn't hold onto money for longer than an hour after he'd won it, but he made me good money.

I'd been working jobs since I was like 14 so I already had some money and basically my story of how I started playing poker is I deposited $50 onto an online casino one day and ran it up to $8k in a few hours playing blackjack like a total maniac. I was super pumped and I had one friend who I knew was "a gambler" so I told him about it and told him I thought I had a system figured out that I could beat blackjack with. He broke it down to me really quickly and told me I was actually insanely lucky to have gone on a run like that, and that there's no system you can actually beat online blackjack with and that it's retard mentality to think you have a system for beating online casino games with. Then he told me that if I actually do have that much gamble in me though, that I should look into playing poker because he'd been playing poker for a long time and that poker was a game you actually could develop a system to win with because it's a game you play against other players, not a rigged game that you play against the house. The site I was playing on had poker so I started playing some really small games to learn and then I also met up with my friend and watched how he played and he taught me about the game some, then he introduced me to his other friend who was and still is a high stakes crusher who gave me some really good coaching and who still advises me on how I play to this day like 10 years later. So the short answer is I luckboxed into having a bankroll by starting to gamble with no idea what the fuck I was doing and then I had people I knew around me who could actually point me in the right direction and give me some coaching and get me started on being a winning player.

I usually buy in for $1000 which is the cap but if the game is already playing deep I'll sometimes "go north" and just add on a bunch of money to my stack anyways and usually the other players/the dealer never notice or never say anything about it if they do notice.

Using a set number of hands to determine your win rate is and always has been kind of dumb because game conditions don't stay the same from room to room. If you're a 5bb/100 winner in one player pool you could be a loser in another and vis-versa. Like as a HU player when I played online I would never say "oh I could beat $200NL for xBB/100" because the reality is there were some players I'd crush and some players I couldn't crush. On blackchip poker me and dan colman were consistently #1 and #2 on the HU SNG leaderboard for a long time but basically broke even against each other when we would play against each other to accumulate more volume (the site played a huge rakeback bonus to the players with the most points on the leaderboard each month). Should we count all of those bajillions of hands into calculating our winrate even though we're both basically playing knowing we're going to break even and are doing it to grind rakeback? If you're a winning player over time you just know it and the only winrate that really matters is how much money can you take out of the game that you're in right now. It averages out to a set $ amount at the end of the month or the year when you do your accounting but "I'm an x/hour or x/100 winner" doesn't really tell you much about a player it's only a useful stat to mention when you're talking to non-poker players about poker and how you make a living from it.

You include rakeback in your bb/100 bro. The fact that you can go 10bb/100 against some players doesn't mean shit if you can't actually get a seat at such a table. If for whatever reason you're spending a lot of time playing against someone who you're breakeven with, that should be reflected in your bb/100. The whole point of bb/100 is to give you an accurate representation of your average hour takehome pay.

There is always going to be money in gambling and poker is one of the best gambles out there because it's a very social gamble and it's the most public facing gateway to gambling and all of the vice that surrounds gambling. The only better gateway arguably is golf because golf attracts people with more money than most casinos do, but it also attracts people who are usually more conservative with their money so golf is the gateway to sllllloooooowwwww gambling whereas poker is the gateway to fast action junkie gambling.

I could walk into any casino or onto a golf course today and start making money gambling without even having to look at cards or pick up a golf club. That's pretty much always going to be the case for as long as the earth is still spinning around the sun.

The people who think "oh no I missed the moneymaker era poker is dead now there's no money left everyone is solid" ARE the nostalgic retards and complete autists because they have absolute tunnel vision on what poker is and how you make money gambling in the long run. People who think "oh no if only I could go back in time to the day partypoker opened and play knowing strategy from today, I'd make so much money, I could be 3betting suited connectors and hands like A5s out of the small blind and nobody would have any idea what the fuck I was doing I would just print money!!!!!' are dumb as fuck because they don't understand really how gambling works or how to make money from gambling and never will.

Well that's the thing about poker isn't it? Everyone thinks they are the GOAT and know better than everyone else.

I know how to win, I dont need to put it into words so every tom, dick and harry can copy my game. If they can win with their game then it's all gravy. The name of the game is raking pots. If someone is raking pots, what anyone else thinks about their methods is irrelevant.

I wasnt talking about respecting raises anyway, I know it worded it bad but I didnt know how to explain it and it has been so long since I was sharp on this shit everyday anyway I dont remember a lot of it after 8 years out of the game. I have spent that time learning other shit that was more important to me and profitable.

I preferred online tournaments. That is where I made most of my money and it was comfortable and familiar for me and my style of play. That isnt to say I wasnt a great cash player too but I preferred tournaments and was more profitable at it over longer stretches.

Anyone who complains about people "not respe3cting their raises" you can know right then and there they are donks. They are bascially saying "I cant play post flop and people should let me win when I get agressive with slightly better odds or a coin flip pre-flop because I really meant it when I raised".

I eat fucktards talking about respecting raises for lunch all day everyday. I was talking about making moves on people. Donkeys are too dumb for you to make moves on because they aren't playing you, they are playing their shit tier losing draws.

I run bad against donks for some reason, I make the most off good players. donks hit and run and just donk until they donk you, at least with me that was the case.

No, what I am saying is that you are describing online low stakes dynamics that actually exists in a live game but at higher stakes "power moves". You don't know this because you simply don't play that high live.

Therefore you are actually just being a noob. I doubt it's consistent but you may make money in poker. I can tell already you lack fundamentals have never paid for a poker coach.

I normally play on bovada /ignition when I do play anymore. PLO and Texas holdem. I've been playing for years and now dont really play for crazy amounts anymore, just 100 cash tables at most.

I used to play much higher stakes although I wasn't properly rolled, I felt like a baller taking down thousands, until I got a couple of coolers back to back which set me on tilt while I was drunk, then I lost a good deal of money.

Since then I haven't really played for latlrge sums of money

I would say plo might be more profitable depending on the site. Seems like the majority of people don't know how to play plo and make mistakes.

Then again, I was never the type to have 16 windows open with tracking and odds software, I just played for fun and if i wanted a rush I would move up stakes. Plo has bigger swings than holdem though.

If you make 200k in poker per year in poker you are probably in the top 1% of earnings and ability/IQ. Which leads me to believe you are lying or an idiot as you can make much more doing something else with your life.
