For some times I already thought that the game was not for me and that I do not have the necessary to be professional, but I never left the poker, I just started to dedicate myself more to the study and to try to focus on obtaining better results, in time I got learn more and get better results, there is still a lot to get to the professional level, but I can already make decisions more rationally in more complex situations, and now I can see myself coming closer to my goals in the game, anyway the game is a distraction for me, and helps me to get a new way of thinking about other subjects, which also to poker, require a further reasoning being necessary to deal with pressure and with risks.
The discipline required for a optimal
bankroll control in poker, and how to think about each stage of a tournament, allied to tilt control, and an effective reading of your opponents are qualities that can be perfectly used in any other area of life. Still, you need to have an autocrontole and realize when poker ceases to be a healthy activity and begins to become something that is harmful to your health, not everyone can see this by themselves but watch what is going on around you, always listening and reasoning about what people are talking about can help you identify some flaw that the game is bringing you.
Another important point to consider is that not all people play for profit, some people only play with friends, whether it be games at home without money, or at clubs, spending a low amount that will not jeopardize their income. others want to take the game to the most professional level, it's important that you know what your goal is, if you just want to have fun, or if you want to make it your profession, because not all professionals have fun during their sessions, some even prefer to leave one successful career for another profession that provides them with a different lifestyle.
