Can you become a rich person with poker?

[Mike_25]

As an aspiring young poker pro, I aim to build wealth through my card skills alone. Can a person become genuinely rich by playing poker frequently enough? In theory, yes, but in reality the odds will always favor the house.

Poker is a game of both skill and chance, and luck may run out at any moment. The higher stakes you play, the more volatile your wins and losses. While a few elite players have become millionaires, for every success story there are a dozen sob stories of players who lost far more than they won.

The path to poker riches is long, treacherous, and perilous. Massive bankrolls, mental stamina, and calculated risks are required. However, at the end of the day, the house edge ensures the money will find its way back to the casino. Poker can make a comfortable living, but becoming seriously wealthy often comes down to getting lucky, not just being good. The odds may be in your favor at the table, but they will always ultimately favor the house.

One should not engage in poker with the intent of becoming rich. Poker should be taken for edutainment purposes in order to catch fun and excitement. Anything short of this objective is disastrous because it is likely to cause poker addiction. And with this, there is likelihood of increasing losses.
