Following on from yesterday’s post on rakeback and I need to make it clear where my own stance is regarding online poker these days. Everybody is going technology crazy and everybody is either using trackers or they are becoming very serious about poker. But let me let you into one huge secret about poker…..you do not need to be a great poker player to make an awful lot of money from it and I proved this with my poker challenge on . That statement may sound odd but not once you begin to understand just how you can make money from poker.
Let me put something to you……do you need to be a great football player to make very good money from football? No of course you don’t and football agents are classic example as are managers, chairman and heaven knows who else. It is exactly the same with poker and this is the point that I hope that I am getting across. My earnings in poker quantum leaped when I stopped trying to be somebody and stopped trying to be a “player”.
When I stopped trying to be a Dwan or a Townsend then not only did I become far happier but I also made far more money. Let me let you into another huge secret…..you can make fantastic money in poker breaking even!!!!!!! How the hell can this be?? Well if you break even on one table then with a great rake deal you still make money. I know players who make $50/hour multi-tabling $1-$2 limit hold’em just from rakeback who break even on all of the tables that they play.
This totally changes the playing dynamic and remember that the online poker environment is totally different to a live one. Online card rooms want your money…..FACT! But they also want it before the other online card rooms get it…..FACT! They also would like all of the players who play on their sites to be of roughly the same skill level simply because everyone would lose money to the rake and recycle money…….bottom line…..card rooms get more of your money.
But there are ways to get some fantastic deals and anyone who wishes to contact me about this who is interested in possibly waging war against the poker sites and getting the best deal that they can is welcome to e-mail me at Carl@Pokerquest.f9.co.uk
