"Poker is a hard way to make an easy living" This statement is so true because unlike other professions you can do everything 100% correct and still end up failing.
I can't speak for cash players because I don't play cash. Going pro is hard for tournament players. Your MTT profit graph is almost always on a downward slide except for that one magical run where you make a final table and make some real money and your graph has that nice steep vertical lift . These are few and far between.
If you really want to try and go pro my advise is to prepare have a certain timeframe and funds set aside. The worst thing you can do is wake up one morning and decide you going pro and have less than four figures in your account. Remember you need to eat, pay bills and live.
One thing I want address is the definition of Pro as it relates to poker players. A Poker Pro is someone who plays poker for a living. It does not necessarily mean that they are any good or some expert just because we define them as a Poker Pro.
There are many Recreational and Part Time Players that are great at poker and have had really good success. Some of these Part Timers are 1000% better at poker than some of these Pros What I am trying to get at is not all Poker Pros are good and not all Recreational.players are bad.
