depends how good you think you are. if you think you can figure a game out quickly and understand what people are doing wrong/right. when i first started i found micro 45 player turbos to be easy but beachy is right, there is no easy money. you have to work for it. but put in a bit of work and you can find easy money.

Easy money? Just walk up and down the block and sell your body to random bums. Oh, you're a guy? Then I'm sorry, there really is no easy money.

You'll have to turn on the charm ... long enough to get you by ... *sing*

Whilst I agree there's no easy money out there, there's definitely "easier" money. I'd recommend trying out the Tournament Selector on SharkScope as that quickly shows you which tournaments on which sites are typically full of losing players.

Omaha Hi\Lo is my favorite money maker if you can grasp the basics of the game people will throw money at you.

Poker is the hardest way to make an easy living. There's no easy money, and don't believe anyone who's advising you otherwise. In poker, you always have to be on top of your game to score a win. Of course you'll experience short bursts of good luck and win even blindfolded, but a lucky run like that will not sustain itself for much too long.

ways to make easy money:

-study poker
-study poker more
-practice what you have studied
- move on to other topics

since this is a question only asked by the absolute beginner, I'l expect you don't know much about the following. this expects you to have a grasp on the basic hand ranges to play, and in what position. if this means nothing to you, please read the section about positional play:

Money wouldn't be too much of a problem if you learned proper bankroll management. Poker is a difficult game, not many people make money at it. If you're looking for easy money after having lost a bunch of money, poker might not be the solution.
Learn bankroll management and study the game.

To be successful at poker you need to lose money and learn from your mistakes and work and work at it. Good luck!

$6.50 and $3.50/18man and 45man SNGs on Pokerstars are really soft. If your good at multi tabling you could make some decent money at them.
