Never Met A Losing Poker Player

Have you even met a poker player. Seems you never get out.

I'm a poker player who never wins online, but I keep going back for more. It's tough to make a living playing online poker. I don't know anyone that does.

My brother makes a living player poker. He made 66K in '09, but he was only 18 for the last 3 months of the year.

Making $200 - $300 a day playing poker online isn't out of the question at all. Most people who are making money playing online are playing 4, 5, or 6+ tables at a time. 3 screens 2 or 3 tables per screen, may seem harder than it really is.

JJ, maybe explain yourself. Your spreadsheet says you bet $100+ a game, now we know that isn't true don't we..

You have to play a minimum of 4-6 tables to make decent scratch and be playing a minimum of 100NL+. The norm for professionals is like 10-24tables for rakeback grinders/chasing VIP bonuses. Try 2 24" monitors with 1980x1200 with 20+ tables tiled across. You can probably get by with less tables if you're a huge bumhunter and play decent stakes.

i know a guy everytime i run into him .he gets his ass kicked and tells everyone he has 2k coming by check,which he says that every month and everybody knows hes lying and he gets nad cause he really thinks he really wins,and the way he plays is when he loses a hand .which is often,he says he dominated every hand and got sucked out,but still wins 2k,so iguess he either cane count or read

If you don't count the rakeback or bonuses, I bet 99% of the online poker players are long term losing players.

This is so true. Just like everyone who bets online, they are all winnars.

Yep, when I used to play, I'd have 3 games per screen and 2 screens. I made little money on omaha hi/lo sit n go's. But then proceeded to lose all that money playing 5/10 no limit.

Even pros are broke playing poker live, you cannot have 10 pros playing against each other all the time and they all win. I would think Poker Players are your biggest liars of all times.

I won that night JJ. Lost the next though.

I'd say it's more 90 to 95%. I make some money, don't care if people think im lying. I readily admit that ive dumped most of my winnings back betting sports, which is why I really don't do it anymore.
