Practice is everything 1. Learn the rules 2. Learn the odds(if you are not a good mathematician) 3. Play, play, play I used to make good bucks with poker, but then I graduate from college and start working real time job for 3x better earnings. I also have 200 million chips on facebook
online poker is bs. play good hands, fold bad ones. always. there's no way to bluff or have fun online...and you can't exactly trust if they're using a legit deck or shuffling accurately.
I play in Pokerstars, I earn some good stuff in there... but never to be treated as a means of living... to improve your practice, read books and more practice...
Yeah you can make money playing poker online, although you need a ton of experience and it helps if your fairly intelligent. The best way to learn is to practice playing online then migrate to live poker games because it's easier to win money relative to the stakes.
