You are playing in a nice homegame and winning all the time - taking other peoples money. Feeling like a real winner! Then you switch to the local casino or an online pokerroom and start breaking even - or even losing?
What happened to the winning player you used to be?
Are the opponents tougher or are you not playing your A-game anymore? Might be but actually the thing that can turn you from a winning player to a losing player is the amount of money that pokerrooms and casinos take from running the games - the Rake.
To beat the game you first need to beat the rake - and then the players. You might think that it is not that big of a deal, but it actually is. Online pokerrooms normally can take up to $3 rake/pot, live casinos for example 10% of the pot (with some cap like 10$).
Think about having poker as a hobby, would you like to pay $50-100/day to just play poker? Some professionals even pay as much as $20.000 in rake/month! Pretty expensive hobby!
Beat the rake!
Step 1: Rakeback
Be sure to have a good rakeback-deal or pokerbonus-deal - you can get 27-50% back from the rake paid to casinos. That can easily be hundreds or even thousands each month.
Top rakeback/bonus deals by Highstakesnews.com:
1. Full Tilt Poker - 27% rakeback
2. Red Kings Poker - Excellent Bonus-program
3. Propaganda Poker - Excellent VIP-program
Step 2: Races
On top of rakeback you can join some races to get even more money back. For example Highstakesnews.com is offering the $1000 Race for only our players. There are still not too many people competing for the money - so you can easily win extra hundreds of dollars!
