I read a quote once that said ‘Poker is a hard way to make an easy living’. I feel there is a lot of truth in this, and never has this been more the case than in the past few years. Professional poker players have always relied on small edges and margins to turn a profit at the game. There is not some secret that only professional players know that causes them to make a profit year on year. Maintaining a more stringent dedication to the small factors that give you an edge over the man next to you, is crucial.

I have often been asked by those that do not play poker how the game is not a simple case of luck. My reply is always that when a very skilled player has the second best hand at the table, they lose less money than the man next to them would have. Experience and a good sense of judgement ensure you lose the minimum when the going gets rough, but also, when you have the best hand at the table, if you are skilled, you will make the maximum profit. These are the variables of poker that professional players can alter. Keeping a firm hold of your emotions no matter what befalls you will help earn a living at the game much more than you might think too.

One piece of bad luck followed up by two hands of frustrated reckless play, just once a week even, can make a considerable dent in your profit over a year. Professional poker players dedicate years of their life to understanding the situations a deck of cards will bring, and this wisdom, judgement, and nurtured skill will always bring a slight edge eventually. There will be days when luck is good and days when it is bad, but the certainty in poker is that luck will even out over time, and differences in talent will not.
