"I have interest, not hobbies, because hobbies cost money" -- George Carlin

What hobby gives you money? POKER! To be honest, I really forgot how I first started into poker ... I think it has to do with something with the World Poker Tour. Anyways, I would lie if I said I started winning when I first started out, but looking at the at my bank roll history, I'm a winner player. Even ought it's not that much money.

It's not usual for me to sit down in a game and play for 3-4 hours in a sit and go tournament and win $60, 100, $200 dollars in a consistent basis. Perhaps it's because I'm playing home games against fish, muahahaha!

Poker is good to supplement your income. So how the frig do you start making money playing poker without going broke? Start playing micro limit games of $0.05/$0.10 on Party Poker or something and understand the game, position, pot odds, bluffing, reading the board, reading players, betting strategy, playing style etc.

Anyways, why I frigging love poker is because it's like this continuous development of skills. It requires attention and discipline, among with psychology and odds. It requires critical thinking in the heat of battle, with super reflex to fend off the enemy.

So if you're thinking of making money with card games, poker is where it's at. It's truly a battle of skills.

But on the other hand, don't expect quick cash. Built up your skills in micro-limit games, gradually move up as you become better and you should do okay.
