In the world of gambling, everything is spinning and changing as fast as betting and the roulette wheel. A few decades ago, gambling was banned and frowned upon, a few years ago it was only available in certain geographically remote locations, and now – anyone can enter the game from the comfort of their couch via their laptop or computer. Although gambling has become notorious, this doesn’t stop millions of people from making one of the most popular gambling games, poker, their permanent source of cash. What’s more, many of those who have approached the issue of playing poker professionally have become world renowned in wide circles.

However, poker does not bring money to everyone. To make a profit from it, you have to at least take it seriously, like any business project. It takes time and effort to learn and start simply making money from the game of poker. In addition, you need to clearly define the level of threshold profit. Let’s say if you want to make about $3,000 a month when you play 20 days a month, then you need to make daily earnings of $150. Further, if you spend at the table 4-5 hours each day, then accordingly, your hourly earnings should be $30-37.

Not only time and hourly earnings are essential, but also the nature of the game itself. It is about the limits you are aiming at, and the number of tables involved. There are pros who play on 18 tables at a time, but you don’t have to do so from day one. Consider your options.

It’s wise to set limits, not only for winnings, but also for losses. It is important to stick to the chosen amount, after which the game would simply not be rational. As a rule, any player, deprived of common sense, can easily lose if he wants to win back. Take it as a law of thumb that you should end the game when you reach your losing limit.

Another useful skill will be keeping statistics. A stats game, which will show your results, various trivia and nuances of games played, will allow you to analyse later and focus on the result. Also, keep in mind that the most lucrative format of the game is the cash tables. In this case, participating in MTT tournaments can be lucrative, but also quite time consuming.
