Global poker needs cash games segregated by wealth, for which the best available proxy is country of residence.

But everyone keeps banging on about global player pools, which means the hourly heads below $10 whatever happens to training sites, rake, rakeback, multi-tabling, HUDS, scripts, etc.

Those things still all need fixing (to improve fish lifetime value), but it won't affect the pro hourly, which is set by pro competition.

You really need to take a hard look at your life if you are really playing 250 hours a month of poker. I play full time live and way less hours than that and am very happy with my life and the money I make. Live poker is still and will always be soft and very beatable for a long time.

There is too much variance live given how slow it is in comparison to online. Over 100k hands for example anything can happen. You can get in 100k hands a month online easily, it might take you a few years live. I know winrates are much higher but the luck factor will be too high for many people.

you don't know what you're talking about

tips to get in 100k hands online the easy way?

Which part? There is an enormous amount of variance in poker both live and online.

Well it's not easy but if you are treating it as a full time job, it's not unreasonable to set a target of 100k hands per month if your working 40 hours a week.

You're working 9 hours a day, 7 days a week? That's an awful lot of hours just for a card game that probably won't be beatable online in a few years. How much per year are you making?

oh cool so you were also a selfish piece of **** with a seating script which is something else that has also helped ruin the game. well done. hope you enjoyed the two weeks.or is it teh two weeks? i always forget whether or not I'm supposed to type "the" like a 14 year old girl.

adapt or die

I sincerely hope you love poker to put in 3000 hours a year.

individually yes. but collectively you all adapt and then die together killing the golden goose.

I get the idea that helping others hurts the poker ecosystem in the long term, but if all you care about is making money why would you not watch the videos yourself? Are you supposed to be taking some kind of principled stand against the poker training machine? Given how entitled and selfish you come across I highly doubt it.

Training sites have been inevitable from the start and it's foolish to pretend otherwise. And before training sites there were books and of course the forums (where countless people including yours truly gave advice away for free!). If everybody thought the way you did perhaps things would be different, but who is to say that you would even be where you are at if the information age didn't exist? Poker is a deeply strategic game where significant money can be won if you play well - of course there is going to be a huge demand for educational content and of course the market is going to going to respond accordingly. Would the games be better without them? Of course, but that was never a realistic proposition and if sites like DC, Cardrunners, RIO, Leggo, etc. didn't exist there would be dozens of other sites lining up to take their place. The fact that something so incredibly predictable tilts you so hard is hilarious to me.

Play higher- the luck factor is admittedly huge but the skill level of the players is so low.People tilt like crazy live bc of the slowness and you can really get an idea for what kind of mood they're in that second which significantly adds to your winrate. And no joke people will even show you their cards sometimes and give you free money. Often it's some chicken **** players w the nuts who doesn't want to get sucked out on but that **** adds up.I've occasionally even seen spew monkeys expose their hands on the river heads up then ship.



A winning player can lose over 100k hands online bc the win rates are so tiny. That's not gonna happen live unless you just sit in the worst games ever day in day out.

Nay. If you have 20bb/100 your variance wont be high at all. Pretty much wat was said in post above

Adapt by leaving the environment and finding another goose

i did.

live poker is miserable. the longer you play the worse it gets. you can def still get buried but ya it would be hard to have a losing year.

think the guys taking the online>live route are only delaying the inevitable unless you get with the program, ditch the morals, and start selling the poker dream rather than living it yourself. its a whole lot easier

Not want to derail the thread too much, but this is interesting, might deserve its own thread.

Yeah, not trying to turn this into a live vs online derail. Playing live for a living can be viable if your comfortable with the volatility. Just avoid the live donkaments

depends. play 1000 hrs or so a year, have a lot of free time. travel a lot.don't spend money like a drunken sailor.make more than you spend. good life.

grinding 1/2 nl for 2k hours a year, saving next to no money and being in the casino all the time would make me look for a noose.

and yea f the donkaments.

mtt live pro'ing is the easiest long term sustainable form of professional poker. follow my 12 steps to success and you'll be crushing and selling for ridic mark ups like the rest of us. pm for the details

I might just buy a bunch of lottery tickets instead. Less time consuming. Probably more fun too

You didn't say 100k, so I'm not interested.

Too late boys I'm full already! Keep your eyes peeled for openings, million dollar winnings around the corner enoigh pie for everyone just put in the hard work

Don't worry tho, this is good for the poker economy, the guys who contacted me are totally new to poker, they don't even know what a flush beats a pear,
