play poker for a living

How do you make a living playing poker?

One question i have is..how do professional poker players come up consistantly? say they arrange to only play with a certain amount per day, like 1,000. If they play for several hours, eventually wont they get a bad beat and loose that thousand?
My question is:
How do you avoid bad beats that deplete your days bankroll after playing for such long hours?

Its because we always play for the long run number 1, and number 2 we never risk more then 2-5% of our bankroll at any one time. Poker is a game that takes a ton of twist and turns, when i sit down at a table i set a limit for the day of what i can win or what i can loss in any given session. If i sit down with 500.00 dollars at a 2-5 no limit game and i double up then i go home. Or if i loss my buy-in i also go home. I don't think of it in terams of im down 300.00 dollars so i have to get it back, all i try to do each hand is make the most sound and solid play according to the infromation i have at the time. I know if i do that, then in the long run i'll make up any money im down plus more. I never chase money, and i never play over my head. I have a big enough bankroll that i can play 10/20 games, but if i have a few bad days i'll soon find myself back to 1/2 no limit games. I never feel like i have to play higher limits at all, i play in the same 2-5 or 1/2 no limit game and i do fine grinding it out for profit. Don't ever feel that you have to play in bigger games if your not up to it.

Anyone Can Play Poker

Many gamblers choose to play poker, and for good reason. You don’t have to put out a lot to get a lot back. Poker is one of the oldest forms of gambling around, yet somehow it’s managed to increase its popularity over the years. There a few basic things you should know before you play poker, like the fact that it’s played with a standard 52-card deck, that 2 is low and ace is high, and that all four suits have the same value. The most important things you need to know to play poker are which hands are the best.

A royal flush, which is made up of a ten, jack, queen, king, ace that are all same suit, is the highest hand and will beat any other hand. Another good one is a straight flush, which is where all five of your cards are the same suit and are in row, for example 3,4,5,6,7 of hearts. Four of a kind is good too, but is still pretty hard to get. You could try for a full house when you play poker, which is where your five cards consist of three of a kind and a pair, and is a little easier to come by. The last five hands that might win you some cash, are a straight, where all your cards are in a row but not the same suit; three of a kind, two pair, one pair, and if everybody has equally bad hands, then it all comes down to who ever has the highest card.

More and more people are learning how to play poker, and some may even go on to become professionals that make their living from it.
