In Poker, you can lose some but gain some. You can make money. Thus, if you are now into Poker, be sure to make the most out of everything. Grab every opportunity that comes and try to make money.

Play for few hours and earn lots of money. Get profit and even try to make playing a living. But of course, all of these can’t be easily accomplished. However, with the right attitude, they are doable.

You are maybe wondering how much can you make by just playing. Well, answer would depend on the situation, your condition as a player and the kind of games you play.

According to poker experts, in Limit Texas Holdem, earning a big bet an hour is very possible. Thus, if you play a $5/10 game and play 100 hours, you will have $1000 expected rate. While in Low Limit Texas Holdem, there can be no precise figures. Your skills and your opponents’ skills matter so give them consideration. But the good thing, in case you know how to play and win over your opponents, you can earn more than the hourly rate aforementioned.

On the flip side, making money won’t be that easy. At some point, luck will intervene in your venture. Thus, it is something to be considered; actually aside from your skills and your opponents’ skills.

You may don’t believe about winning because of luck or losing because of luck, but they both happen at the poker table. Luck can turn a winning hand into a losing hand so you better consider this in your every poker game. As you try to make money, never forget that luck may intervene and so never go all the way. Never place all your money at risk. Luck may turn everything good into bad.

Hi there!

I just want to clarify some stuff. Is it true that the proper expectation would be one big bet per hour? I believe the kind and level of game you are into should be considered here. And what exactly a big bet is? Is it a bet equal to the size of the pot or something like doubling up what you have?

I hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks for your time in advance!

Mikhael,

What you are referring to is Limit Holdem. In Limit Holdem, a good player should expect 1 to 2 big bets per hour. The big big is determined by the limit played. In a $2-$4 Limit game, the big bet is $4. You should expect to win $4 to $8 an hour in this game.
