How much money can someone make playing poker online?
This question gets asked a lot on the forums. In reality, it's just like real life, where higher skill equates to higher pay. The top online professionals are making upwards of $100,000 a year playing online poker, while there are many other regulars who make over $40,000 a year playing poker. Most of these players remark that they are playing 40 or more hours per week, so it is indeed a full-time job. Free Poker Download. The online $5/10 game is the borderline game between the casual player and the professional player, especially since players may play multiple tables at once.For the casual gamer, the standard measurement of a good win rate is to win 2 big bets (2BB) per hour over the long run. That means if you play the $3/6 game, your goal should be to make $12/hr playing poker. There will be highs and lows, but after you've put in the time, you want it to even out around there.

On average, are online players better or worse than casino players?
On average, I'd say that most online players are worse off than the types you would find in a casino. This comes with a caveat however. Free Poker Download. Online, there are many more low limit games where the bad players can hang around and press their luck. In a casino, you probably don't see as many bad players because the penalties for playing badly are more amplified by the limits in real life.

What limits should I start playing poker at?
I always recommend you start out low. While the low games are wild and unpredictable, if you can't beat this type of game over the long run, then you shouldn't be playing poker. Free Poker Download. Online, depending on the site you play at, the play won't normalize until you reach the "mid" online limits (and by mid, I mean 2/4 or 3/6), but depending on your bankroll, you want to minimize the cost of your initial poker lessons if you can. If you're used to the B&M games of $3/6, $4/8 or $5/10, then I'd probably say go ahead and start at the $2/4 online, but just remember that the online games go about 1.5x to 2x faster than in real life.

What is the rake online compared to the B&M?
The rake rates for online poker are generally much lower than in the B&Ms. Each online poker room should have a rake fee structure listed on their site somewhere, but for the most part, the rake ranges from about 3% to 10%. At some of the lower limit ring or tournament games however, the rake can go from 10% to even 20%, so be careful not to play in a game where the casino will burn you on rake. One of the nice parts about playing on line is the need not to toke (tip), so that does save a bit of money. In the B&M, the overall rake + tip comes out to around 15%.
