Let’s start with some important factors to consider before you start earning money – extra cash or your full monthly salary – through today’s poker online platforms:
- Having a bankroll management system is crucial. When you apply for a job, you know exactly how much money (and time, which is money, too) you will have to invest to get it and to execute it: the expenses for the fuel to reach the office, the tax for the prequalification course to reach a better position, the money for lunch and etc. On the other side, you know exactly how much money you will learn. Things with professional poker online playing is the same, but turned upside down. You know exactly how much you will spend (your poker budget) and you have some idea (by calculating the risk and taking under consideration the stakes and the pot) how much you can win.
- Know your hourly rate. This is part of the bankroll management system, but in activities that are not regulated by an actual boss or manager, they vary. The hourly rate is something you can predict by always having under consideration the time you will spend in poker online activities. It is easy to do so when you plan to make poker your main source of income. When you want to play poker for some extra cash to add in your budget, though, you have limited free time for poker and usually it is not regulated day by day.
- Multi-tabling is a good way to use the entire gambling time in poker. It becomes even more effective if you are about to play poker online instead of going to an ordinary job. In both cases, multi-tabling has been always a good alternative the increase your total amount of income. If you are not very experienced with at least 2 tables at the same time, though, better wait for a bit to become more skillful.
These three important strategies and factors should be taken under consideration by anyone who’s kind of attracted by the thought to become a real professional poker player. Consider them, too.
