Is Live Poker Still Profitable
Pennsylvania’s live poker revenues equaled $60 million. MGM National Harbor in Maryland collected $44.5 million in poker rake alone last year, which was the vast bulk of Maryland poker revenues in 2017. New York’s new live poker rooms, on the other hand, contributed only $6.7 million to the nation’s live poker revenue total. Re: Poker & Are MTTs Profitable? They can be very profitable, but given the extremely high variance in MTTs its very easy to lose money playing them. You must be committed to practicing good.
Many people miss the golden age of poker. After the amateur player Chris Moneymaker won the 2003 WSOP Main Event and became a millionaire, poker attracted many recreational players. Online games have become a real gold mine. Over time, this boom has actually passed, and after excluding American players from the global pool in 2011, many people began to stop believing that poker is still an attractive career path. They started complaining about fewer weak players, bigger rake and regular players getting stronger and stronger. Is it really impossible to make a decent living from poker in 2018?
The games full of gold are still there
Hundreds of Smart Backing and Smart Spin players prove that it is still possible. With our top strategies, they win loads of money each month. They regularly capture insane scores in multi-table tournaments just like DAMIAN(L)#7 did recently. They are able to crush thousands of opponents in many tournaments at just one night. They beat Spin & Go's, earning 5-digit and 4-digit sums every month. Just look how much Smart Spin players won in July 2018. They crush NLHE and PLO cash games with enormous, 2-digit win rates, both in heads-up and ring games. In 2018, they do what even in the past seemed to be impossible. They are regularly being promoted to higher stakes after beating lower stakes for as much as 30bb/100 or even 50bb/100. Lately, Nilmar started playing NLHE cash games and he was promoted to higher stakes after achieving a record-breaking win rate of 81.49bb/100! That means he won over 81 buy-ins in just 10,000 hands! Unbelievable! ZaryPLN regularly ends months with decent 5-figure scores, in January 2018 he won about $60k. In May 2018, he won close to $15k on one day! What's more, our small, 13-players PLO division won over 1 million CNY (about $152,000) in one month! Incredible!

From zero to hero still possible
Sure, poker is evolving and many players get better every year. On the other side, many of them give up on their dreams because they are not good enough to win anymore. That’s why in 2018 it is more important than ever to consistently and regularly work on your game and be familiar with the up-to-date strategies. You can still make a decent 6-figure income in poker these days – or even win over $100,000 in one month as our Head Coach Limitless did just a few months ago – but you can’t do it after reading one book like back in 2004. In Smart Backing, you learn from the best, and you receive a comprehensive mentoring that leads you straight to the success. From the first steps to the summit, we exactly show which route to take.
Poker is no more easy money, but it doesn’t require that much effort to make a decent living as many people think. In fact, in many other fields, you need many years of hard work to finish studies and gain a job experience before you will start earning a satisfying salary. With our leadership, you can cross the “from zero to hero”
Getting better easier than ever
Whatever poker variant you will choose – MTTs, cash games or Spin & Go’s – there are still loads of money to be made in each of them. And it will last like this for many years. “Gambling” has been attracting people for hundreds, if not for thousands of years. This is not likely to suddenly stop and the only thing you need to take care of is to constantly improve your own game to stay at the end of the food chain.
