That's why you should have some buffer bank. You will have cycles of wins and big losses. If you're good at poker you can play that as I find a lot of people aren't patient and if you only go in to hands intelligently you will outlast most players. I'd suggest not playing hard until at least 100k in bank. To make bank in this game I found you need to have a good buffer for the bad cycles. You start the game with around 10k chips. Most I won on that was somewhere around 20 to 30k. At the same time as doing them collect your 250 hidden chips/present and 250 ATM chips when they come up.
Log in once a day (don't forget you have to ACTIVELY select the daily reward in the Tasks window on the right) and do the dailies/weeklies/monthlies.
My suggestion is to treat this as a very casual game to start with.
