Variants appear this is true, but the naked truth is that: all gamblers play to win money for poker rooms ( comissions ) and the rest of casinos or sports betting houses. Time passes and they earn money, but we win nothing or little money. The lost time, we do not recover him. Never.
Perhaps it is worth treating this a little easier .... not as a way of making money, but as an opportunity to have an interesting time .... Personally, I treat this exactly that way .... And if you sometimes get to win .... a nice bonus .. .. if you look at the game from this side that you can play and not get upset If you lose

You are doing good so far pajalnick, tripling your deposit, in only couple of days. You could always cash out your deposit, and have the same money in the pocket, you had before, plus the xtra bankroll now to reach your target of 100 USD. You never know what can happen at some point if you tilt

Of course, I arranged my deposit in the morning ... it's true ... but then it was one day when I was in 5 minutes .. maybe in 10 minutes ... this deposit turned into 0 ... haha ... ha- ha ... So I have a good game alternating with a terrible game .... it's worth saying that when I turned my whole winnings into 0 I was a little drunk

I tried this and it does not work. Is not worth it, because i lost. If i do not play with concentration and not risk in many cases, i have no big chances to win. I noticed this, because i played many relaxed games and my results were not good. I do not get angry or upset when i lose except in bizarre cases. I think you know what I'm talking about...

Never good playing poker drunk. The results are almost always bad. And that goes beyond poker too. You can have same results when playing for example slots. And there its even worst, since you can lose everything in just a couple of minutes, either by betting big or choosing the wrong bet

only once I achieved a positive result while playing drunk .... it was a few years ago .... in the evening I sat down to play PokerStars .... a cash game ... initially I had $ 20 .... I played all night ... periodically went to the store with the addition of alcohol .... and by the morning I had $ 500 ... but this is the only good case in the history of a drunken game

I'm not a slots player, because i did not win any exciting sum of money, when i play and do not even know how to play. I was always disappointed with these slots and i only played promotions or slots bonuses without luck. $ 2.5 is my best won with slots. I bet wrong 2-3 times $ 10 my my personal money because of their system... and i played occasionally for free, but still did not understand anything. It's not for me.

Not necessarily. Most online poker players they were not bettors especially americans. Internet and televisions channels have made the poker to explode. Now sports bets and casino games have appeared online and many are trying to make money. The betting world has been increased by internet.

I don´t know CALICUL, I´m an old fashion poker´s player. I like the game too much, but I don´t like to mix it with betting. I understand that the luck is always present in the poker game, so is natural to associate it with all the betting world. But, for me, poker is another matter. I could learn about poker, I could have a coach of a pro, and trough this I could improve my play and make more money. I don´t see it in betting

Since i'm playing poker for real money, i did not win even once 140 euro in two days with cash games. I can not create a good bankroll with cash or snap. I played several times three hours to make bankrool and it was impossible for me this thing. I play many hands and i lose many hands. How much i would try, i can not and Internet videos do not help at all.

If you started to look for some help in videos...good for you! The path of autonomous learning is really long and full of bad material. You have to do it like a miner, that process a ton of mud to find one gram of gold. Here is banned to talk about other pages, if you want, send me an email and I write to you some directions. By the way, $140 in two days is a good profit! You can make $350 by a week, and $ 1700 by a month!!! My project is to win $ 500 per month...

I did not make a calculation for how much money i would like to win in every month. The only thing which i want is a more generous software with me. For many players the software is good but for me or others is very stingy when is time to work for more money ( important situations when i need to create stack to advance for the final table ).

You have to make a decision, if you want to play for make the poker game a regular enter of money in your domestic economy, not only a recreational way, you have to do a good bankroll management. The bankroll is the instrument to make money in poker, you haven´t to take it for beer. With appropriate bankroll, you make the money to beer. For example, if you like to play tournaments of $ 1 buy-in, you need a bankroll of $ 200 or $ 400, It depends on how conservative or audacious you want to be. All the profit that exceeds that amount, you can use for everything you want. If you want to improve your level, you have to keep the profit to make a better bankroll

I know how to manage my bankroll, this is not a problem for me. For $ 1 games 400 is too much but 200 is good. Believe me, freeroll games also bring extra money and ITM of the tournaments other money. With this money you can resist but to make money for beer, ice cream or good wine you will have to win something more consistent.

...and when you become an S&G player uhhcallmi? I´m trying to be one of them and I like it too much. with the ICM as the chief of all the decision. Personally, this stage is the better situation for my playing. And that doesn´t exist in the cash games, where you only decide if your strategy is Big Stack or Short Stack, but the blinds don´t change. Come here uhhcallmi, there is space for you!

There is the possibility that you Maragatero to join in the tables at which uhhcallmi plays, but as you are not a risk player, this thing it's harder. If you win in a MTT a big amount of money ( few k ) maybe you can stop $ 200 or $ 300 to play more attractive games. In this way you can do more levels and it will be ok.

I´m a soldier of the rules of bankroll´s manage. I make a plan and I`m trying to do it. I started in August with $ 5 to play SnG of $ 0,10. At 04 November I was made $ 40 bankroll and I started to play $ 0,40 SnG. Now I have $ 60 and tomorrow I will start to make some shots to $ 1 SnG, and I sting playing $0,40 until $ 80/100. When I keep in $1 level, I will see what happen next
