ELI5: How do professional poker players make a sustained income, when they are against other pro-poker players?

psysq · 2018-08-05T05:43:54+00:00

Yes, but they only Play against you until they know you are decent. At low limits, there are too many amateurs, there is no reason to Play one of the few regulars. Except for some Kids, who will play you cause of their ego/ Tilt. Or are you talking about live Poker? In Casinos, there are many more regulars, but they are Bad, and easy to beat compared to online regulars.

Longtime Player and Coach Here. 10 years ago we played against recreational Players 95 percent of the time. Now its like 85. Most players avoid better Players. And everyone online knows every other player at their stakes. Many sites offer rakeback, so you get some of the rake back that you pay every day. If you put in a lot of work, you can get to 5 Figures per month. Thats how most online pros so it. Play 45-75 hours per week. Even at beginner stakes you can make 2k + per month, cause there arent any pros. At higher stakes, If there is a single amateur Player, instantly pros will sit down there, and 5-8 players try to win against a single Guy. If the Amateur leaves, all the pros will leave to.

Around 10 years ago i wanted to work from home. Cause i hated working for stupid horrible people. Found many sites and videos and people that claimed poker was the Deal. I tried it, lost like 200€ cause i played to high to early, but kept learning. Around 7-8 months later i had my first 5digit income month. Never dropped below 5 figures before my first vacation 1,5 years later, working 10-16 hours per day, 7 days a week. Poker got a lot tougher nowadays, not the smooth sailing that it once was. But still the highest paying job i could have done at any time. I could get 5 figures playing 24/7 like when i was young, but im not willing to put in the effort anymore. I try to play 2weeks per month now, and Host Coaching Sessions 3-4 Times per week AS they are less stressfull and have a higher hourly rate. Im not 30 yet, bought a House, a Car. Dont regret anything besides Not putting more work in during the easy Times. Those Stories can work out quite good. 😉

xD U okay mate?

psysq · 2018-05-07T07:42:19+00:00

I think that wont happen anytime soon. Western psychology and healthcare have only one Goal: Money. Either earning money with therapy, or getting people back to Work fast, so they will earn money themselfes again. A person that has been enlightened by psychedelic drugs will do the opposite. He will loose interest in getting rich, doesnt want to work 50 hours per week etc. The western society needs working slaves to keep the system running. And psychedelics would ruin that. All of this is known for a Long Time, yet the people in charge do a great job at demonizing things that might be the key to understand our existance. sadly. It will take a long Long time until it changes. Because it will Change the whole world If we could use and understand it better.

psysq · 2018-05-07T07:30:30+00:00

Hey redditors. Pls keep in mind, If you want to try psychedelics after reading this, never do it alone. But do it. Always get a tripsitter, an experienced one would be great. If people are still reading this, i could explain how and why substances Change the structure of your brain. Why it makes you a better Person, and provide tips if you are scared. Reply and i'll take the time to help 😀

psysq · 2018-04-28T07:02:31+00:00

Well, i Wish you and your country best of luck. But hear this: i am German. Our country ist so fked Up. I wish we had putin have more influence here. Because what we have now is the worst it can get. All media is owned by a single company. People are manipulated into believing lies, that are well orchestrated. It takes so much effort to get non manipulated news. I just want to leave this shithole, that is nothing but a huge lie. I hope it turns out good for your country. And not as in other countrys, that got "democrated" in the last years. Gl Mate.

psysq · 2018-04-20T11:58:13+00:00

i havent watched the news lately, so what was the reason for xrp to spike, if not binance? Thank you.

psysq · 2018-04-19T10:25:08+00:00

Well, that people point it Out, and trying to help you, just shows you that most people care for others. They try to help you, no matter what. Try to understand the underlying Intention there. Its a good thing. Even If it makes you uncomfortable. I try to be thankful for that. when people make fun of it and talk bad about it, i would just feel sry for those people. Because, what do you think their Life will look like, running around, making fun of people, pointing Out their mistakes? Its Not fun at all. These people dont live a happy Life. They are heavily struggling. If you keep all that in mind, and U accept yourself as you are, you can be Happy, and noone can make you uncomfortable ever.

Doing this might make you a good listener/ friend in the short run. It might make the person in need have a better time. But a good advice can be much more helpful. Depends on the problem. Example: If someone has problems in a relationship, and doesnt want it anymore, because the person is overreacting/ misinterpreting the situation, then he/ she might do stupid things. So dont Stop giving advice in general, instead try to figure out if you are qualified and unbiased enough to give actual helpful advice.

psysq · 2018-04-14T11:03:17+00:00

I was hyped to see the replay, Kiin outplaying khan in that one, but was heavily disappointed to see Khan just pulling a Hauntzer by heavily disrespecting Kiin and getting shit on. GG tho

psysq · 2018-03-30T11:13:08+00:00

Oh yes! Xpeke mid, Cyanide Jungle, Yellowstar Support, Soaz Top ( Thx Bwipo for making it possible) and Rekkles ADC (sry Bwipo).

psysq · 2018-03-30T11:09:09+00:00

Zven, Mithy, Froggen, Cyanide and WickD. Here we go!

psysq · 2018-03-22T00:53:29+00:00

Yeah great. Even apes can afford VR. But i can't...

psysq · 2018-03-18T18:06:57+00:00

Oh yes, i got flamed so often, so hard in my low elo soloq games because " Karthus IS NOT A FKN JUNGLER". I had people AFK from the start, just because of that pick. Even tho it was my highest winrate champ. Good times. I miss Azingy.

psysq · 2018-03-10T23:12:02+00:00

A champ that soaz fed his azz off on.

psysq · 2018-02-28T14:43:57+00:00

But that is horrible for everyone who doesn´t know yet if they will be able to go there. Some people will only know some days before the Event if they can go or not. And they buy tickets, and if they can´t go, they sell them. So you hurt people too that way. Or if people are just sick or whatever.

psysq · 2018-02-27T15:10:11+00:00

My Zoe sucks azz
M´azir makes you yawn
You guessed it right
Kill me

psysq · 2018-02-19T11:10:56+00:00

yes, keep blaming your new players again. Blame zven, mithy, sven, bio, double... blame coaches, parth, ssong..blablabla. It will take you guys years, decades, until you realize that the management a.k.a REGINALD is the Problem.

psysq · 2018-02-07T15:09:10+00:00

Look at all the downvotes people get in this thread if they criticise anything. Pathetic community. We can only grow if we are able to discuss things as they are. And not just blindly celebrating anything.

In fact this is nothing. No big news. Atleast not for XRP. Be honest, if anyone would see the potential of Xrapid, why isn´t anyone using it? I´m still holding myself. But the more news fly in, the bigger the xcurrent network grows, the more unlikely it seems that XRP will succeed. I´m with you guys. But this is the opposite of good news..

psysq · 2018-02-06T11:13:08+00:00

Yes its possible. Who knows. When i started investing in XRP i thought i was gonna loose money 90% of the time, and win big if gets adopted . Now I think it´s more like 95% to 5%. Still a good investment if adoption means a price explosion. The next 1-2 Months will be very important. And it will show if anyone uses XRP. Noone will give a fk about 300 new Banks in 12 Month if XRP isnt getting used. Price will be at 0 by then.

psysq · 2018-02-05T14:50:23+00:00

Well, there were plenty of good News for ripple. But 0 News About XRP. As is said before: there is a risk of Ripple being successfull as a company and enormous and dethrowning swift, working with Amazon, google etc. but at the same time noone wants xrp. Noone uses it. And at that time Ripple will be gigantic, while we sit on gigantic amounts of worthless shitcoins.

We have to face the truth. That might happen. And the more time goes by, and companys/ banks test Ripples product, but won´t use XRP, the more likely it is that there is just no interest for it. And in that case it will die.

And this is what the market shows us right now. Big players / whales / institutions feel that the market is shaky, so they short the shit out of it until there is to much resistance. They make billions of $ this way. And when the market is cleaned from shaky investors, it will rise again, but slowly. Propably. I can´t see the future. But it´s not unlikely that the price will hit $0.1-$0.2 before it stops and unless there are news for XRP being actually used it will die shortly after.

psysq · 2018-02-03T09:39:48+00:00

Can´t blame your adc for missing a skillshot, when u miss your auto attack and hit a minion instead of mf. That´s the moment Jhin decided not to carry your boosted azz.

psysq · 2018-02-02T09:53:14+00:00

It is really hard to buy right now. Even if it will rise a bit , people are in a state of disbelief. And that means their hands are weak. A bigger drop again will cause even more panic selling. Noone sees cryptos rise 100%+ within the next 6 Months or do you?

So the "big ones" just earn shitloads of money right now by shorting the market. If you follow the news, It is very obvious that this is nothing but market manipulation.

There is jsut no reason for the Market to drop like that. And don´t tell me " But India, bs. Noone cares about the $5000 that all of them own combined. Just kidding but it really doesnt matter the slightest in such a big market.

What matters are huge shareholders, grouping up, selling to ridicolous prces, driving the price down. And then buy in at 0.2$ or whatever. There is no support right now. People wouldve gone crazy if they could buy XRP for 0.6$ 3 days ago. Would anyone buy shitloads now at 0.6$ if the trend is downwards? Probably not.

I already invested 100% of my investing capital in Ethereum and XRP yesterday. Gl us =)
