I am 28 years old, I started playing online poker for money about five and a half years ago. Immediately it was a hobby. Well, you know: small bets, no winnings. In the future, with the growth of skill, I climbed the limits. There was more money at the tables. The game began to bring additional income. Then he began to notice that at the main job (and I worked as a manager) I get less than from poker. I understood that I didn’t need this job. It’s more pleasant to live by the game than to get up every day at 7 in the morning, to go to the office, wander around on business trips ... Many players make this choice.What is online poker? In short, there are several large sites. Download client software, make a deposit. Poker tables open, people sit there and play against each other. Profit sites - they take a percentage from each bank. Roughly speaking, I play with a man, we put the bank at $ 200, and this site took a penny-rake of $ 4.There are affiliates that attract new players to poker rooms. They also have their own benefits. All this is a multi-billion dollar business. Money is crazy, advertising is everywhere. The other day I watched biathlon at Eurosport, in prime time they showed a video of Ronaldo playing online poker with Nadal.
