If you have ever watched a professional poker tournament in real life, on television, or on a streaming platform, you were probably in awe of the professional players. People winning huge sums of cash, jetting around the world wining and dining, staying in fancy hotels, and driving beautiful sports cars. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case.
In fact, the majority of people playing poker lose money in the long term. Even professional competitors regularly lose money. This doesn't stop the game from being enjoyable. Poker is about skill, confidence, and being able to judge and analyze others. Yes, you need a bit of luck now and again to win poker games but you will probably notice those with experience and plenty of knowledge of the game will consistently win over time.
