Can You Consistently Win Money From Online Poker?

Yes, it is perfectly possible to be able to consistently win money from online Poker. In fact, some players actually make a very comfortable living from it.

So, now you're wondering how this is possible, and how you can go about winning money for yourself. Allow me to answer these questions for you...

Why can you win money from Poker?

In a Poker game, everyone is dealt random cards from the deck to play with. Players have no control over the cards they are dealt and the hands they make, but they do have control over the way they check, bet and fold.

Being able to control the way you check, bet and fold means that you can make profitable decisions in each hand. For example, if you have a terrible hand, you should fold in order to save yourself money. If you have a great hand, you should bet in order to try and build the pot and win extra money for yourself.

If you build on this simple principle, you can see why it is possible to consistently win money from Poker. Even though there is always going to be an element of luck, winning poker players exploit the skill side of the game and use it to their advantage to win more pots than they lose.

What about other Casino games?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to win money from other games such as online Roulette, Craps, Slots and Blackjack.

The reason for this is that in these Casino games you are playing against the house, as opposed to playing against other players as you do in Poker. This means that these Casino games have been developed so that the house will always have a slight edge over the players, which allows them to win more money than they lose, resulting in you losing money over the long run.

In Poker, the house does not care how much you win, as you are winning money from other players and not the house. The Casino makes money by taking a small amount of money from each pot, so there is nothing stopping you from being able to regularly win money at the Poker tables.

How do you win money from Poker?

It's all about the strategy.

In order to win money from Poker, you need to be able to outplay your opponents and make the most profitable decisions as frequently as possible. If you are a better player than the majority of your opponents at the table, it stands to reason that you can expect to win more money from them than they win from you.

It is not easy to learn a winning Poker strategy, but it is perfectly possible. If you take the time to read strategy articles, books and forums, there is nothing from stopping you from eventually becoming a profitable Poker player.

The only thing that stands between a losing Poker player and a winning Poker player is learning solid Poker strategy. Best of luck!
