Who really makes $$ anymore?

I would also appreciate posts from people who have hit puberty and gained a little maturity. I know it's wierd reading a post from someone who openly admits they are losing at online poker, but if you're going to post stuff like that please refrain or I'll sleep with your mom.

If you arent making money anymore, its because the games have gotten harder and you havent gotten any better. Move down in limits, or get better. Its possible that the games are so tough at the small limits that the rake cant be overcome. But I seriously doubt that because the people at the those limits are terrible at poker.

So basically, if you want to win, you need to get better. All the money in poker is made from mistakes. You get the money when they make them, and you give it away when you make them. Play in a game where you make less mistakes than your opponents and you'll win money. Its pretty much that easy.

100% true IMO. The games used to be juicy enough to more than compensate for the rake, the bots, the collusion and other cheaters.

I personally do not know anyone who actually makes a living off of online poker anymore.

I would really appreciate the most honest feedback possible.

Are that many people really making a substantial profit in online poker anymore? I know of a handful of online players who have the ability to support themselves and their families solely by logging onto their computer, but the numbers have decreased dramatically in the last 2 years or so.

It seems to me that a lot of players aren't truly honest with themselves and others when asked how much money they're realistically making/losing online. As for me, I was making money and cashing out around $300 or so every few months just as a little income supplementation as a college student. The past 2 years, however, it seems the weak players have either wised up or took a hike.

I would like some honest feedback as to some people's opinions on this. It would be refreshing to hear from both losing and winning players who can be truly honest about their experiences/thoughts. Thanks.

are you greg1OSU on stars by any chance? also yes there is plenty of money to be made at online poker but apparently you have to be a lot better than you did pre-leg (i missed out on party and the golden days unfortunately so i dont have any insight there)

I thought I'd give myself a little credibility. I do have an edge in MTT Donkaments, but I simply don't have enough free hours in a day to spend 7-10 hours in front of my computer to make a FT anymore. I've been experimenting with cash games and sngs recently, but have found MTT's are the most consistent, but you can only be profitable at these if you don't have a life because all the $ is made at the FT.

I've won the 25,000 guaranteed Re-buy on Stars, as well qualifying through to multiple stages of MTT satellites. MTT's I get, but I'm trying to become a better all around player. I've heard good and bad things about CardRunners.com, but I'm not crazy about paying a membership to a site who's owner (Brian Townsend) credits all of his success to that site. When in reality he didn't buy in to ownership or even hear about CR until after he made his millions.

No, I'm OSUGreg1983 on Stars. If you are really curious as to whether I'm a fish or not, I currently have $1,100 profit in sngs. When I say I'm losing right now, its only a comparison as to what I was making before. I do still profit, but its at a decreasing rate.
