Default Re: Who really makes $$ anymore?

The vast, vast majority of poker players lose money. You just happen to post on a site where a lot of the winners post. Undoubtedly people lie, but check out the monthly graph thread. Clearly a lot of us are making money. I'm making more money than I ever have, but I work hard on my game. For every hour I play I spend at least an hour studying.

If you want to be a winner, be prepared to dedicate a lot of time. If you do and have the required intellect with mental and emotional control you have a chance of becoming a long term winner.

Not to be mean, but your post indicates that you have a great deal of work ahead of you if you want to become a winner.

if you cant make 10k a month the most likely explanation is that you dont have half a brain or work ethic, not that it cant be done. occams razor, homie.

This statement is udderly ridiculous. I know tons of very smart people who couldnt make 10K a month at poker. Poker is like anything else, it takes a certain skillset, yes a big part of that skillset is intelligence, but its a certain type of intelligence. There are plenty of people I would call "not all that smart" who make alot of money at poker, and plenty of very smart people who can't.

I think games have stayed the same or are maybe even softer now than they were 6 months ago.

BUT they're definitely a lot harder than they were pre-UIGEA.

Cardrunners is my next step. There is a way to give advice without being a prick. Although most ppl on here haven't figured that out. I'm done with this thread. Thanks to those who gave mature suggestions.

You do realize that BBV is where the pricks go to have fun right? Advice is handed out in other forums. BBV is where you post is where you say you want serious advice but expect to be flamed and rediculed until you cry

smellmuth why are you being such a [censored] in this thread? this coming from someone who has made over 10k/mo since july it's not that easy.

to get good fast i think you need a predisposition to logical thinking, good friends who are already big winners, and motivation. also it's a really small % of this site that makes that much money.

also i too was hoping OP was greg1osu [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

isnt this bbv?

i was assuming anyone we were talking about already had #1 and #3.
