Hello all.
1st of all: I hate PokerStars, I don't support them , I hope the owner go to jail and get raped there, with all his co-works from PS togheter. But you can't say games at this site is impossible to win because rake, bots, ghost, scripters, lake ness monster or mini galfonds everywhere... all this things that people says, discourage some people to take a shot at this spetacular 4card game.
Is it easy ? no, but total possible for any average human even when the biggest poker site has the worst work etics, stealing money with abusive rake and saying the most pathetic reasons ''exciting new players'' **** off. By the way, I hope party recover their share at this market, or any other poker room grow a lot to make Stars pressed.
Poker was extremely easy until 2013/2014, before zoom it was ridiculous. its still ''easy'', but the fact isn't EXTREMELY easy, doesn't means its dead or impossible.
Poker ''world'' is progressing , few fishs stop playing for whatever reasons and weak pros also quit . But just because you don't regs stakcing off 250bbs w AAK5 on KQ5, doesn't means its hard, they aren't good , they are playing poker , again, but not good. Until 2014, they were clicking random buttons. If players were good, I wouldn't be winning so much.
You might think Im very good seeing my graph. Im not, my game is very simple. I didn't work hard . If you want quit poker, its good, hope I get all fishs . But don't say rake is too big and its impossible to win nice money in 2017. Im sure there is other guys making the same Im doing, and if this is not true, its because all other guys moved up to higher stakes.
I don't play NL, but Im pretty sure same happens at NL: its not fish fest like was , but its still ok, meanwhile everyone crying at forums saying its dead. I don't hate PTR, but if someone has and post a print screen with nobody winning (like it was posted in 2013 at hsplo), this means the game is still easy because everyone is not playing well. But I believe theres many guys making a good winrate with plenty of action .
Games are good, not great/amazing, but good. The number of tables are decreasing, but still tons of tables to make any multitabler busy. I think its a problem lack of action for guys playing 5/10 and above, and especially 50/100 above it is dead. But my cousin who plays 5/10-25/50 play 400-500 hands per hour, not bad .
Im posting this trhread and graph to make more mediocre regs play and them I take your money
. I don't think a thread here can change the fact less people are interessed in playing online poker nowadays, just saying, you might win a lot.
