It then hit me that I was just building a job. There was no point playing either as he could wake crying at any moment and I'd have to leave the table. Not really playing "poker" but just lying in wait. When he ran out of money I left the table to find another fish.
Not through great poker play, but by religiously only playing when I had a good seat to the left of a fish.
In my last month I made a little bit of money. I was just trying to find a way I could make money from home. I played online for a period of 18 months about 9 years ago. The only one playing a fastlane game is the house, who's slowly taking a percentage of everyone's money without anyone paying any attention to it. And you make $4.80.įrom a business perspective, you and everyone else playing at the table are playing a fools' game. The whole time that you're betting, the house is raking away a percentage of your profits. On top of that, the reason I put "zero sum game" in quotes is because it's more of a "negative sum game". The only way that you make money is if someone else loses money. You on the other hand are playing a game that has the odds stacked against you. And my supplier wins - because he also made a profit. My buyer wins - because he gets a higher value from the product he bought than the amount of money he spent. I'm playing a game that creates multiple winners. Why? Because the odds are stacked in my favor. When I write it off on taxes, I effectively reap 35% of the product cost, or $1.75.īut most of the time I make money. Very rarely, no one wants to buy it even at cost, so I throw it out and write it off on taxes. So I try to sell it for $5 and break even. I buy product for $5 and sell it for $10.

I was debating between freelance copywriting and playing poker for building up capital, and after testing both I came to the conclusion it was a better decision for me to play poker.īut for a total beginner, I would only recommend pursuing it as a intellectual hobby (like chess or Go).Įdit: BEST case scenario you would end up like, but even with 3 years of full time hard work and grinding you'd have like a 1% chance of getting those results (and left with a skillset declining in value due to AI and automation). I this is my 4th year playing after a 4 year gap (played 2008-2011 then quit until 2015), and the only reason I continue (other than the enjoyment) is because I already had 3 years invested in learning poker and wanted see if I could still beat the games. The games are getting tougher every year (due to training sites and GTO solver software), online poker is dying, and the sites are raising the rake which is killing the games even faster. If you're a total beginner with no prior knowledge of poker, I absolutely would not recommend pursuing it seriously as a full-time endeavor. My goal with poker is to accumulate capital for ecommerce inventory as well as keep it as a lifelong hobby because I like the intellectual challenge, competition, and self-knowledge acquired. if you like that platform I find it very slow.I play NL200 online regularly as well as live 2/5 on occasion.

I personally like the Infocom text adventure gamesĪpple OS-X and Linux are essentially in the same boat for PC type games, although there are possibly some more recent titles for Apple MAC OS-X and that, if they need/want to run the latest games, like halo etc., they will have to use eitherĭosemu or dosbox or Mame for the nostalgia fans on Linux

Possibly it will just deluge the service by people asking why game X doesn't work on Linux Mint and asking OK, how do I get it to work then.Īlso people are no doubt fairly aware that windows specific games will only work under wine of some type (gnu wine) or commercial versions like CodeWeavers crossover or Cedega, some others
