Is it easy to make a living as a professional poker player?

It depends on what you mean by “making a living.” Since poker is a gambling game, some players can make a great deal of money by winning pots, but they are never certain to win, so they must remain consistent players with a long history of winning to keep enough money coming in to support themselves. You can also become a professional poker player in tournaments, where there is more opportunity to win, but the financial gains are significantly smaller. Poker also works well for business and money-making ventures, as an important business tool.

It seems like Blackjack has better odds overall. And roulette as well.

I think that’s right, yes. The mathematics of a game is an interesting topic, and can help you see why certain games are relatively easy to win consistently or predictably.

That begs the question, what game at the casino, tends to have the highest probability of winning, overall?
