Does anyone make much money in online poker?

    A lot of people think it's rigged.

    There was, once, an RNG that was flawed and exploitable. About 22 years ago.

    There was, once, a site that allowed a group of players to view other player's hole cards. About 15 years ago.

    I am personally for all intents and purposes certain that none of the major online poker sites still operating today have either of the above issues, but that's because I've worked for a few of them.

    But there are no shortages of people who think it's rigged based on their own experience (largely driven by their own biased observations and recollections of the hands they see)... and people MASSIVELY overestimate how much additional money an operator can make from cheating in the ways described above.

    Thanks mate, along the lines of what I was thinking myself. Was watching some videos on poker scams on youtube recenrly, people installing trojans of professional players laptops seemed to have been a popular method.

    Ahh, Ive played consistently for a long time now, but just wondered what peoples latest views are.

    It doesn't matter if the sites are rigged, nobody is going to win money anyway.

    Its basically a solved game, the playerbase is now nothing but nits using software that tells them the optimal play at every point, so now all they do is pass money around and pay the rake. There is no point to it any more.

    I don't think that is fully true. I play without any software and win, not much mind you as I have a fulltime job and a family too, but id be confident of returning more if i played full time and with more tables.


    I do wonder about getting some type of poker tracker though, please feel free to recommend lol

    I like poker. I think this is my favorite card game. I play it with my friends and online, mostly use the ทางเข้าUFABET site. Unfortunately, I haven't made much money on it. But I understand that poker is not an easy game. It requires skills and strategy. Successful poker players understand the importance of odds, reading opponents, and making calculated decisions. Mastering skills like bankroll management, bluffing, and understanding table dynamics can significantly impact winning outcomes. Though I'm going to learn further, gain the necessary skills and practice, and maybe one day I'll also make big money on poker.

    Actually it's possible

    Of course it is possible. I guess that not a lot people you know can earn some good money at poker because it is just not meant to everybody but yeah. Personally I have not but who knows, may be in near future. Actually right now I am training some of my poker's skill at Governor of Poker in fullscreen to win that amount of money lol. So wish me luck

    I played the game recreationally for years and played to an appalling standard.

    I used a tracker for this period and was shocked by what I had actually lost when I properly examined it. Eventually improved and built up a modest bankroll. Still only play recreationally and book regular but extremely modest profits.
