why aren't you playing online poker with your crypto gains? sites are soft af and filled with sports bettors. last night i made almost 30,000 dollars in a tournament risking only 150 dollars. everyone wins but retards.

your edge was 150 dollars if you're good, the fact that you made this post makes me think you're probably a losing player in the long run

poker is insanely hard. you're almost certainly a losing player if you're not playing 8 hours a day and studying at least a few hours a week

also it takes something like 20000 tournaments before luck(variance) stops being a huge factor. you can literally run hot for years as a losing player(this is why you cant be results oriented like saying "i just won 30k for $150)

you HAVE to read at least a half a dozen to a dozen books minimum. just google what people recommend as good poker books, the more recent the discussion the better because poker is constantly evolving. once you've read at least a few books and have at least some understanding of winning poker looks like, read "modern poker theory"

play wsop for free online practice. play conservative till you understand the flow of the game then learn to bluff when they least expect it. in person poker also depends on whether or not you can hide emotions well which is a whole other matter.

Poker is a lot of luck, and when someone tells me they don’t believe that some people are just luckier in life than others I shake my head and grin. I know a guy who’s never worked hard a day in his life but he’s won a smaller lottery twice, good jobs handed to him since he was a teen and the shitty startup he used to work for somehow made him rich before going under. Not to mention he always wins every card game, board game and coin flip he’s ever tried.
Us real human beings should stick to crypto and stocks.

this is not true. ive been playing since 2008 and the online games got significantly harder by 2014, harder in 2017, and much more challenging now. There are always pros waiting at decent stakes cash tables, of course there will always be fish that will join and drop a few grand, but you have to know who they are by how they play. that isn't learned overnight or by reading a book. Tournaments are filled with pros but also fish. once again have to know how to play against pros and how to play against fish, plus ICM play and how to play different stages of the tournaments. Only the best players win longterm, op may have had a 1st place bink in a $150 tourney last night, but he is either down 80k lifetime or most likely larping

1% of poker players make a profit

only 1% of those 1% make a living out of that profit

I wanted to pick up online poker again at the beginning of the quarantine, but it's been fully normified now. Pokerstars allows a maximum of 4 tables to be opened at once. Fucking FOUR... It's pretty miserable. Not going to waste my time trying to make pennies that way and I'm not going to play SnGs either, as those are for faggots.

This is true, online. I am currently ranked 50th out of like 20k people on the Chico network and I’ve made like 3.5k this month. If you exclude the big once/year tourneys the best players are netting like a couple hundred grand for grinding insane hours. Live poker on the other hand is insanely profitable. You could make the same couple hundred grand working 30 hours/week. The key for live games tho, is you have to be likable cuz all the best games are private.
