the profits are big for one player though, but not worth the time and effort investment of a team of programmers making such a great program for NL, especialy since it probably wouldn't even win on the highest stakes you people saying it's impossible are underestimating computers and programmers though also you'd have to be amazing at poker and very very good at programming, how many people have those qualifications? hardest mission ever with way too few reward | ||

When I started at Poker, I lost a lot. I'd often play shitty cards, made bad calls on draws, and lost soooo many times to dominated hands. I'd always put it down to "I'm the unluckiest person in the world", but in reality, I just sucked. If there is one crucial piece of advice I can give: Buy a book, or talk about how to play properly with people who know. I cannot stress how much better this will make you at poker. It's like taking up BW and learning it from Boxer rather than 0 clutter players (well maybe not that extremem, but you get me) The best book I can recommend for low level players is: ' Winning at Low Limit Hold'em' by Lee Jones (the manager of Pokerstars). It teaches you the importance of things such as position, check raise, how to play when you hit sets, straights, top pairs etc. Really good read. It'll certainly have you winning at .05/.1 in no time at all. It's only about $25 US, but you'll win your money back in no time. You may be tempted to buy Sklansky and Malmuth's poker book first as it's probably the best out there, but don't. The shit they talk about requires a fairly advanced knowledge of poker, and is best suited once your a steady winner at the lower limit tables. Hope this helped! | ||

All of my starcraft friends who have been playing poker as long as me all still are decent at best, they can win a little bit and think they are good but considering the time they put into it and the stakes they play, they are pretty bad. Of course there are other SC players like Elky who are doing very well, but the vast majority are not. A very interesting read and thank you for sharing it with us but do you honestly believe that a decent disciplined player would not make more than the 8$ / hour that you made at your factory job? If someone who plays more than a year cant make that, then he either overestimate his skills or he doesnt have the qualities that you mentioned. I am not trying to say that everything is easy but compared with most of the job alternatives for a young disciplined intelligent person, poker is very easy at low levels. Its nice to try to discourage the 15 year olds or others who cant play poker because they lack the needed qualities, losing their money (although both our posts will probably have the opposite result) but its better to say things as they are. Its not yours or tl.net's fault if someone who shouldnt play poker, starts playing because he was inspired by some posts. Also there are always the alternative methods to make money from poker with bonuses and rakeback. You said most things as they are i dont disaggree with you, i just made an additional comment. | ||

I don't understand how it is possible to make so much money from poker. The money you make, some people must be losing it. Even if you consider that a lot of little loses combine to a few big profits, how can there be so many people losing so much money alltogether??? | ||
