I do play poker professionally and do not think there was a better time than now for many years, so you might consider launching a game and you can surely beat low stakes without advanced strategies.

I recently published an article in my blog www.mypokercoaching.com/learn-poker-strategy/ about this situation and how to use it to your advantage so you might want to take a look at it if you are planning to give poker a try.

While you probably will not make thousands if you do not have prior experience, making a couple of hundreds $$$ is quite easy.
