if you are borned a fish, you will not become a shark. I play poker seven years, and I believe that I have reached a professional level. to me to become a professional, I need to play in the big tournaments and to win. But where to get the money?

if you play sometimes, it's vacation. if you play every day, it's hard, it's work

I like to play poker for fun but I dream of one day playing poker for a living. Being a microstakes player it's almost impossible to become a professional at the level but you have to start somewhere and that's where I am.

When I began playing poker I wanted to make fast money and I thought it was easy to learn poker quickly ...how wrong I was..I lost some money because I wasn't playing carefully , I was playing like a fish .:D

Now I have BRM and mostly I play for fun until I learn better .:)

My dream is to learn as much as I can ,to become a better poker player with more skills in order to be able someday to have a standard income from poker (it doesn't matter how much:smile: )

He started playing poker only because I really like the card games.
But I notice that I was addictive and I'm getting better and better with time.
I think every player dreams of becoming professionals :)

I don't play for fun. I play to win and build my BR as high as I can get it. Some people may no believe this, but there are pros at every level. I talked to one guy who done real good at 5nl and 10nl, and I asked him why didn't move up a level, and he told me that he won more money at those levels than 25nl or 50nl, or higher, because there were so many beginners there. So I considered him a pro at his level. For me, I don't target new players, or anyone else. I just play my game, and if a beginner is in the pot and calls with nothing, I don't mind taking there money. GL to you

I can not imagine poker with his work - it would be ideal promptness :)
I think people who like their work - this is the most happy people :)

Personally and in this moment of my life I poker as a fun, but this does not imply that they did not consider the game and do not try to improve. Today I am happy playing poker, later I will see if I can mix the happiness with the work and perhaps dedicate a little more to this that it is a passion

It is true that many people earn some money playing poker because they do not look very high levels , which exeplo been very good player playing Small tournaments buyns to 20 USS did a good bank roll , put my eye was bigger than my ability to examine whether or not I was able to raise my level and play higher levels out, what was supposed to be good became a nightmare because I reduced my bank roll by 80%. that's when I found out that we should grow too slowly for this crecimento be true.

It has a lot of faith and will, so Analiz their movements , of course, you can become a pro player and make money from it !!!!]

okay you come to be a professional, but do not agree when you say the fish was born will always be fish , I think many fish today may be the shark that will beat you . we are all subject to grow and evolve

Yep if we do good at 10nl, we may start believing we can do the same at higher levels, and build a big BR in a short time. Thank god I never thought that way. I done like I was told here. If I'm going to use good BRM, I had to start at 2nl because I only had $50 to play with. Then when I got to $100, I was told to try 5nl and see how I done. If I done good, stay there, if not, go back down. I've used that all the way, and now I'm at 10nl, and I'm winning pretty good, and those thoughts about going up has been on my mind awhile, so I did try it a little, It didn't take me long to see I'm still not ready for it, because it's like another world, just like it was with every level I've played. It's slow, but it sure beats losing my BR and having to go back to playing freerolls. Don't get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with playing freerolls to start a BR. Many players do and I say more power, and good luck to them. GL to you

My dream is to improve my skills enough to be able to compete at 200NL+ online and hold my own in bigger live games ($25/$50). I also want to be able to buy-in to the wsop main event with profits from poker.

I am currently at 10NL slowly growing my skills and BR one day at a time. I believe I will one day achieve this goal.

Hello ladies and gentlemen. rather I am right if you'll take yourself to the category of fans and so I would really like to become a professional poker

I think is right in saying that every poker player dreams to win the WSOP and I am no exception. at the Russian proverb: patience and a little effort. therefore wish you all the patience and applying to this effort then maybe your dreams will come true. I wish all Fartagh and suit

I Ruthenian and English not znayu.poetomu decided to use Google perevodchikom.tak here I can say with confidence translates Google is not always right

I do not know how many manage to make a living playing poker with family ...
I think it is incredible, maybe I know very little about poker, but it seems that the more bo all depends on luck.
Who says that? :)
