Some poker players wonder if they, ordinary people, might actually win playing online gambling poker tournaments. Well, there is nice news and there is bad news.

I think by now people are realising that the most effective way to make money in poker is to win online poker tournaments. Most of the money is usually within the top prize – 1st place – with only a little being spread around the other cash prizes aka money positions on the money tables.

But it appears that winning this really is just out of reach to normal poker players, don’t you think? This is exactly why I think the question on everyone’s mind is ‘Can normal people win online poker tournaments?’ The answers is yes, and no. I’ll explain so read on.

Can Normal People Really Win Online Poker Tournaments?

Well, yes. Yes they can. That is essentially the final answer. Face it, the individuals that generally win poker tournament’s are just normal people like you and me. Where this deviates is the fact that they’re normal people but are extremely good at poker.

Virtually all poker players – especially online – will be just normal average people. Some might have a day job or some might be making enough from poker or something else that they stay at home. No matter who it’s though you may bet that they may be hell-good at poker.

So Can Average Poker Players Win Online Poker Tournaments?

Umm, no. Not really. Sorry. The main reason is you will just get knocked out before you decide to get to any money. And in the event you do in fact make it to the money your probability of winning 1st place are slim.

You’ll need the skills and experience to be able to handle almost any poker situation;

regardless of what cards you have or how many chips you’ve got,
however lots of people are at the table or who they can be,
and no matter what their styles are or even the size of their stack.

If you cannot play tight, loose, aggressive, know when to back off, know when to hit hard, know which pots to be in and out of, then sorry but you are not going to make it.

So, just how Do I Win A Poker Tournament?

You’ll need to obtain the skills. Start out learning free information and practicing it. Move onto paid books or courses and obtain the serious professional knowledge. And practice practice practice.
