How many of you can honestly profit playing poker?

[crytoboost]

It is really hard for me to make fortune while playing poker online, i mostly do it to have fun when i have some extra time than i play poker but not to make some money for my living there, i don't believe that 9% of people are living just to play poker because there is prize pool is not have attractive amount only few and more less than.

[futurebit640]

I am telling honestly i won few time sin poker. I will not play this game regularly but when i played this game i won few times i was not loss much money here. According to me playing Dice game is better than that playing poker game. In poker at least our strategy will work but in Dice games nothing will work all depend on luck so there all loss only.

[praprata]

I only play poker for fun I am not good enough to play poker and make a profit out of it. It is just not for me I am sure that there are many people other people who can make a profit out of poker but do not even know it yet.

[bajing]

you can't living by gambling especially in online poker even though you have good skill when play poker game but in only all condition are different. imo if you can win 9% from your bankroll isn't big enough because you can lose more than 9% in game poker.

[mobnepal]

No i don't think this to be true, i haven't seen any glamber claiming he have won poker without any negative bankroll and living off from the poker profit. I don't know what you like to show comparing poker against slot machines  i don't find any realtion between those two.

So you think the real life poker professionals are just all scams and lies?

Everyone has been lied to?  

Poker is a game where bets are against people, not the house.

For example: Some casinos are better than others - maybe you bump into a bunch of drunk guys who literally gamble and don't even try to beat you. In the long run - you always come out positive against these types. Pure gambling is the complete opposite. Yes you have some gamble and luck in poker just like in anything else you do in real life.

Then you get more complex players so you must be better, etc.

You might want to Google.

Being a poker professional doesn't necessarily mean that they're making a living off of it. 

There are a few, but I can confidently say that well under 9% (my best guess is <1%) of poker players are able to make a living off of it.

A lot of the more known poker pros are staked and are actually in make-up. 

[Red-Apple]

Around 9% of poker players can make a living doing this.

Why even touch slot machines? Bet against a person not the house!

Become a professional poker player and travel anywhere.

why? because it is hard and we have a life!
learning poker is hard and takes time to become a good poker player and even then you are still gambling and taking risks with your money so there is still a chance of losing money.
all these other games like slots that you named are easy, and they don't require us to learn anything so we can have fun while we gamble.

But you also learn why you play poker - so it is a why not case.

But I understand if you like gambling in the dark it is personal preference.

all kind game of gambling are less winners than losers , no matter it is poker (against people) or general casino games (against house edge) a losers are much more than winners.

i agree with dogedigital opinion/argument about a poker players who able to make a living from poker table, very less people can do it. i my self is a bad poker player who never earn good money from this game.

Yup like anything else in life!

Very funny this guy though - you can't be a pro unless you are living from it - the definition of a professional.

[0day]

I do not have much experience in that so I think before getting into there I should have to learn more , otherwise I will lose all my money at there, By the why poker is much nice and is full of entertainment but before investment I want to learn more .

No this is not correct.  There are many who play poker full time professionally and are still not able to make a living off of it.

A lot of poker professionals are in make-up.

as for me only play poker just for entertaint even i've got profit it doesn't mean i could make a living by playing it. I dont expect much, poker is the one of the gambling that needs skill, so if you want to earn much just increase your skill. And right now i'm playing to increase my skill.
But if you are a pro you could buy everything you want, JetPlane, Women, Villa etc

[eternalgloom]

It would just take too much time to play enough to get that far, your whole life would revolve around poker, and that's not something I would want.

Its a skilled based game only if you play it against other humans and are better poker players then them. In a online casino, its not skilled based just lucked based.

I don't know about 9% - not saying I believe or disbelieve that figure, but for those that say it isn't possible to profit or make a living playing poker, check here : http://www.officialpokerrankings.com/

Just click around and you will see that many, many people are easily making profits and earning a living playing tournament poker. Many others make a good living/profit playing cash game poker as well.

[Superways]

With poker I am not that able to earn a living but with that the winnings and losts make me neutral, and when I calculate all my bets at that I comes to a conclusion that I have lost the same which i won.

[dukeneptun]

If you are good at mathematics and can count cards why not? My memorizing is not so well, I can play poker well sometimes but if there's a good player in the table I don't think I can beat them. The fact is you don't know your opposition, so playing against players might be sketchy. Playing against house means always loss in the long run though.

[eddyubachs]

I have never made profits while playing poker as I win at initial stage but in long run I loose everything so now I have stopped playing poker.
