Anyone here making consistent profit from poker or just grinding for fun?
i’m mostly into slots and live dealer stuff but lately i’ve been poking around poker tables online just to see if it’s actually doable to come out ahead in the long run. i hear stories about people grinding for years, tracking stats, but it feels like a lot of those are breakeven or even losing after you factor in rake and the time commitment. some talk about playing just for fun but i know a few out there say they’re regularly pulling profits.
for me the idea of steady income from poker sounds kind of unreal, especially compared to how hit or miss slots are. just curious if it’s actually happening for folks or if the big winners are way rarer than people make it seem.

when i bounce between sports betting and poker, the wildest difference is mindset after a downswing. in sports, a losing streak feels like bad luck, but with poker, every rough patch pokes at your decision making. i rarely see grinders truly separate the two. if someone can treat each downswing as a study session instead of a confidence hit, that edge adds up way more than pure volume ever will.
curious if anyone here actually sets aside a review day each week like some sports bettors do for past slips? feels like most just keep firing, hoping variance evens out.
