It was argued in the supreme court, poker is a game of skill, not luck.
>>
>>1115260
what >>1115263 said
It didnt even need to go this far, a minimal understanding of the game is already enough to know this

Anyway OP so, how much time? How many hands?
>>
>>1115265
It's been just shy of 3 years. I started out playing MTTs and shipped $10k my first month in. From there it was mostly c games (PLO, 2/4$, 8-12 tabling) and playing weekend majors
>>
>>1115275

So that score was an MTT?

Are you by any chance a portuguese player?

Btw congratulations.
>>
>>1115280
Thanks yeah it was. I live in Vancouver, originally US born
>>
>>1115257
how much shekels did you lose during black friday?
>>
>>1115328
Not OP but I lost like $15k (only like $500 of it was my initial investment). Gave me an excuse to quit gambling cold-turkey though.
>>
>>1115328
None

>>1115363
You eventually got that back tho
>>
>>1115257
Why are you playing gay MTT's instead of grinding cash games?

>What variant of poker do you mainly play?
>What are the blinds on the tables you play?
>How many tables do you play at once?
>>
>>1115568
Pot limit omaha
$2/4 (will be changing this year)
8-12 tables (that'll be increasing once I get my new monitors)
>>
>>1115562
What risk?
Where is the problem to blackout your personal information?
>>
>>1115575
casino employee here. If you blackout your information, win a big price and request a withdrawal than there is a chance you won´t get your money in case you blackout your personal information.

Let´s say you win 100K.. in order to transfer the money we need a proof of ID bank statement etc (this is mandatory in order to prevent money laundering, indentity fraud, knowing you are not a minor etc )

If you blackout your information we cannot verify you are the person who is playing on a certain account.. and you can say goodbye to your winnings..

MTT is a game of luck. Cash games are game of skills. If you win through MTT, you just got lucky. Come back here if you consistently win at cash games.

What sort of skill level is required to make money in poker?

I've read a lot of poker books and understand the theory. Is that enough? Or is it really tough?
>>
>>1116340
You need patience and time more than anything. Check out Jared Tendler's books for some insight into the lifestyle aspect
>>
>>1116343
How many people are using poker software, and if everyone is using poker, tracking programs. How do I stand out.

(Maybe want write my own software)
>>
pokerstars is a scam.
>>
>>1115257
Where do you play
>>
>>1115257
Does it bother you that your career involves a skill which doesn't create wealth? You seem like a smart person, you could probably make six figures at anything if you tried. So why poker?
>>
>>1115257
What do you think made you so much better than the other players that worked in your favor, besides luck
>>
>>1116215
Yeah.
>>
>>1116775

What's the key to beating full ring micro stakes?

Ive been loosing big to people flopping the nuts even though I 4 bet pre flop.
>>
>>1116818
Doesn't really work in micro stakes cause even 4bb isn't enough to pressure ppl out
>>
>>1116822
its amazing because people are calling with 5-7 and hitting the nut straight when I have KK or someshit. it's a joke.
>>
OP, if you had $100 on a poker site, how long would it take you to get that to $1000?
>>
>>1116807
I'm working on a poker site.

>>
>>1116827
Thats just variance. Lucky shit happens. 8/10 times you win with that hand and suckout every so often. Also, sometimes its better not to 2, 3 or 4 bet in microstakes. It just raises the pot size and makes it more tempting for people to try to suckout on you or catch str8s and flushes. If you can limit the pot size you can limit variance. Ot just play PL holdem.
>>
>>1115275
What's mtt, C games, and plo? Never played online poker
>>
>>1116858

>>
>>1116861
Multi-table tounament, Pot Limit Omaha, and C game means what you think it is. Its not your A game. Its when youre not playing your best.
>>
>>1116868
Thanks bro
>>
>>1116868
c game means cash game
>>
>>1116884
Ahh good catch. I didnt see the context he used it in. T b h I have heard it mean both though.
>>
>>1115257
How much time does it take from newbie to actually learn how to be profitable? I'm very interested in learning but want to know if it's actually possible for me to put in the time while having a job (I'm not so young and also married).
>>
>>1117219
That's the million dollar question. Just start reading, playing, analyzing hand histories and seeing what you did wrong.
>twoplustwo forums
This is the best place to start.
