In the last few years, people playing free poker has increased massively. With most people tending to veer towards playing Texas Hold’em, we are asking why poker is becoming one of the most played online games available.

Every second of the day there are thousands of players playing online poker all around the world. Some poker rooms can accommodate over one hundred thousand players at a time. In global terms can be estimated at several million weekly players who pass through one or another poker room. If we talk about money every day this world moves many millions of dollars, which certainly in most cases not taxed because governments do not regulate the industry, but this is not the question.

So, what makes players take up the game of poker? The main attraction is money, lets face it, we would all like a little more. However, poker is still a big gambling game with no certainty of winning, so why do people still play?

Well, simply that at any given time any player can win a lot because at times certain poker hands can beat anyone. This means even the worst player in the world can have their moment of glory and gain (though they WILL lose more long term).

That’s because poker is not a game of pure chance. If it was then no way could it support the growing number of players who live to play poker. For if the win or lose depended on luck alone then the long-term fate would be balanced against profit.

On average only 10% of most poker players actually earn decent money on a regular basis. This proves that poker is all about technique and skill, not luck. So, what happens to the other 90% of the players who don’t win?

The difference with those who do not play well is that over time will lose money. They have their fun in the short term where they can and do win and it’s this that keeps them coming back (because it is also a fun game).

The 10% of players who do win poker on a regular basis are players who have spent years studying the game, reading articles, playing hundreds, even thousands, of games and learning the skill of poker. These players are serious when they hit the tables and they play to win, not for fun.

Whatever type of poker is being played, whether its pay poker, or free poker, good players can and do lose in the short term and have at times horrible losing streaks. Bad players can sometimes win a load. But over time there is no doubt that good players triumph and make profits while the bad players will lose more than they win but keep coming back because they’re either aiming to get better or simply hoping for that one “big hit”.

If you’re new to poker but see yourself in the elite 10% of money making players then you can do no better than to start at a free poker site where you can lose with no or very low risk to real money, learn the game and start to move up the ladder slowly as you improve and become profitable and successful.
