Really became a hardcore fan of poker about 2 years ago and Ive been playing at the casino occasionally (both tournaments and cash games) but recently Ive just been sticking to the app on my phone and Ive been able to consistently make about $20 per hour on average the past week that Ive been playing.

obviously you have swings, but this pretty much culminated from years of experience and me experimenting with different strategies to figure out what works best for me.

But to be able to consistently log into the app and feel like Im able to confidently make money is a surreal experience.

Just be careful man. This is how it starts with a level head. Playing the rush leads to the gambling aspect, seems like you enjoy it for the play. Dont want you lose that!

See, blackjack seems more like a gambling game to me. With poker, it seems like its more competitive between the players that you play with.

If your max buy in is $50 than that means the blinds are .25/.50? $20/hr would equal 40bbs/hr(which is how poker players calculate win rate) which is absurdly high, even players that are crushing the games theyre playing dont make much more than 15bbs/hr, an above average player at most is probably making 10bb/hr. I think youre being a bit of a victim to a small sample size, play the same stakes for 10,000 hands and see if you still maintain anywhere close to that win rate with the same max buy in and blinds

Im doing really well. Playing fast and furious, bluffing a ton and crushing my opponents when I actually have a good hand.

Going on a heater doesn't mean consistently winning, you need a graph of at least 100k hands to see where you truly stand.

How does the app pay out? Do you have to give them bank account info?

I've been wanting to get into online poker but it sketches me out not knowing which sites are legit.

Dude. Im in Pennsylvania. Im assuming you are too because youre an Eagles fan.

Just go to PokerStars in the App Store. Its completely legit. You can only play while youre in PA so dont go to another state and try to play.

I had no idea PokerStars had a mobile app. That's awesome.

I'm in Seattle but I'm a lifelong Eagles fan. Not sure about Washington State laws regarding online poker, I'll have to look into it. Thanks for the info!

a friend of mine plays online poker for a living and does it very successfully. seems like a legit career as long as your are ethically ok with basically farming people with gambling addictions as your source of income
