How to earn $ 1,000 per month by playing online poker

Let's acknowledge the fact that many people play online poker, primarily for the money. And there is nothing wrong with that.
People often wonder how to earn $ 50 a day, or $ 1,000 a month, playing, for example, online poker. But nowadays it is not easy. You need to be a very disciplined player, work hard, have the right strategy, bankroll, choose tables, control your tilt, etc.
In the end, this is not what you want to hear. You need information on how to do this!
You can tell you the game plan and tell you how to do it, but you need to be warned that this is not so simple ...

1. Play cash games at low limits (micro limits)

Here we mean games that you can enter already from $ 2. This is the best limit for those who start playing online poker and want to get a constant profit.
Previously, you could earn $ 1,000 per month in cash games even at the lowest limits. However, today it is extremely difficult to do, because in the last 5-10 years, games have become tougher, which means that the win rate has also decreased.
But everything is possible if you really want it. You can earn $ 1,000 per month on NL2, the lowest limit, while locking yourself in a room for a whole month, protecting yourself from society, and playing an incredible amount of hands, somewhere around half a million. This is only feasible for a "crazy" grinder who plays at the same time 20-30 tables (and with a good bet). But for most regulars this is an unrealistic task.

2. Play at least NL10, possibly NL25

Today you need to play at higher stakes so that your poker income is $ 1,000. We can say that NL10 will be the first limit where this is possible for those who play systematically. This will mean winning 100 buy-ins in one month. But even for a top regular who plays a huge number of hands at such limits, this is impossible. Since it is possible to get a small rakeback at this limit, this fact simplifies the task. But still, for most people, this is most likely unrealistic.
We can say that for the average player NL25 is probably the first limit at which he can really earn $ 1,000 per month by playing online.
In this game, where the buy-in is $ 25, you only need to win 40 buy-ins to get a thousand. Those. you need to win a little more than one buy-in per day, which any hard regular can do.
Also, rakeback can go up to several hundred dollars a month. Thus, to achieve the desired becomes much easier.

3. Play with tight and aggressive strategy

Let's talk about strategy. How should you play? The best strategy at such limits is a TAG strategy, i.e. Tight and aggressive play style. This is the style that is recommended for making good money in micro-limit cash games.
This implies that you carefully choose your hands, play the majority of them in position and that your game is aggressive post-flop.
If at such limits you plan to win big, then you also need to use the HUD and know how to find other players' weaknesses and exploit them for your own purposes.
And, finally, probably the most important thing - you have to be a smart enough player to apply all these tips even when the situation changes for the worse and you lose for days, or even weeks.
Lingering downswings are common in current games, even for strong regulars. The ability to remain calm in such situations is, in principle, a significant factor for your success.
