One thing that confuses me so much is how many people are actually winning at poker ‘professionally’?
I had a little think and I believe there is only 1 way to win from playing poker.
Have a system
I absolutely love systems, it’s part of my personality.
One of the very few poker players I respect a lot is Azimut. He built up a sytem of playing poker with volume so much that he can fairly accurately predict how much he will make in a year. He does not claim to be a great player but he is probably making a lot more money than players who are better than him.
I hate to see good players being staked. It just really doesn’t make sense to me. They are either just not that good, have a fear of losing or don’t have a system.
How can any good player not play with their own money? Where does the money go that is won? The money seems to leak away and the player can’t reinvest. They turn to a backer and end up in an endless circle because the majority of winnings go to the backer. You’re in debt and the backer owns your life. In my eyes this is not winning.
Players that get backed, try to be great at the game and rise through the stakes but never really win. Those with a system, do the same thing over and over and get consistent, predictable results.
Stop trying to be so fucking great at poker and get a system.
