Treat Online Poker As A Business, Not A Game...
Is it possible to make money by playing Texas Hold Em poker online?
Yes!
I know several people that either supplement their monthly income, or make 100% of their money by playing Hold Em online.
Sounds kind of strange, right? Playing a "game" for a living...
It's not strange at all if you have the skills to consistently win over long periods of time. With the recent popularity of Hold Em tournaments on TV, thousands of players are joining the online cardrooms every single day - and those that have a higher level of skill are making the most of this "rookie money".
My wife and I make a tidy little sum each month by playing several mini Texas Hold Em tournaments each day. These little mini-tournaments are also an excellent way to learn the strategies that will earn you money for years to come, and you can play them for as little as $6 each!
Your $6 investment will get you a seat at a one-table tournament with 9 other players. If you finish in 1st place, you will earn $25. Second place gets you $15, and 3rd place will earn you $10.
For your six dollars, you get the same excitement and fun of playing at a final table of a much larger tournament. You quickly forget about the money and focus on winning instead. No Limit Texas Hold Em is an excellent game for tournament play, and will quickly teach you when to be aggressive and when to slow down and be more cautious.
The best online Hold Em games can be found at Party Poker. The games run smoothly, the graphics are great, and it is a regulated online casino required by law to be 100% fair. They also have over 40,000 players online at one time, so there is never a shortage of games running or other players to go up against.
At any time of the day or night, there are tens of thousands of players from all around the world ready for some Texas Hold Em action. There are new games and tournaments starting every few seconds, and the variety of tournaments available is amazing - once you get your skill level built up, there are tournaments you can enter where the entry fee is $650 and the first place payout is over $60,500!
You can even win a seat to the World Series of Poker for as little as $35 by winning several consecutive tournaments. This is the exact way that Chris Moneymaker got to the WSOP in 2003 and won $2.5 million!
Another very nice feature of the Party Poker site is the "play money" games and tournaments. If you've never played before and don't feel comfortable risking even $6, you can download the software for free, register, and get a couple of thousand chips worth of free play money to work with. You can then join the free poker tables and tournaments and practice until you feel comfortable with the mechanics of the game and your skill level.
Once you feel comfortable and confident, you can make a small deposit into your account and move up the the low-limit real money Hold Em games. Once you start doing well at that level, you continue to move your way up the money ladder.
It doesn't matter if you call it Texas Hold Em or Texas Hold Um, it's all great fun.
If you treat online poker as a business, you may just make a comfortable living at it - all while having fun and meeting new friends from all over the world. Think outside the box, and you may just build your poker skills into the ultimate international online business!
