A lot of people here just started on the world of poker. and a big part of you folks are treating poker seriously because is your ambition to become a professional poker player.

I started my journey working out everyday and thinking that I would become a professional with some months.

Now I don't play more everyday, and don't intend to play has a profession just for profit and fun, but I have a lot of knowledge because of the past time that I spend.

I would like to know your opinion guys, do you treat poker seriously? how much? playing everyday? I think now you got my question thank you for your time.

Well, from my experience I lost my motivation to play when I played a lot a day, like at least 4-5hours plus I was learning while not playing. Now I play like 2-3 hours a day plus some analyzing, watching videos and reading about theory, I feel like playing too much can overwhelm you but, well, I guess it depends on your personality as well.

I think first of all, you need to ask yourself what poker means to you. it's fun, it's profit, it's being professional so yes you will put what's important in poker for you to evolve.

I don't treat poker too seriously. Figure gambling is just my relaxation and downtime. It provides enough income to pay the utility bill, so I don't give it up.

Set goals and you will never be bored...

The swings will make you feel like you will never get up but trust me you will..

The best motivation to always concentrate on something is to set goals...Small goals i always do this...

Keep it simple stupid - Bruce lee

And i follow this kind of quotes too 😁

So dont take it too seriously but don't take it too eazy to...

We need philosphy in every aspect of our life not just in poker...

GL man 👌👍

Good question, I think you have to want to always improve and become the best player you can be. Otherwise the game and other players will overtake you and you'll be a losing money player.

I think as long as you play enough not to get addicted, you should be ok. Poker should be something fun. I heard a professional player say, "if poker stops being fun, you need to take a break for a while"

Looking at what your goal in the game is - entertainment, time shortening or profit

Speak, my nobleman, how are you? I think I need to take some time to play, I've been taking up a lot of my time with this game, I think I'm addicted and that's not cool. I have this thought in my head that I will make money from this sport and that thinking is not being healthy. It's good to play poker for fun, applying the learning correctly if you hit it right, if you make a mistake, too. Tomorrow I want to wake up differently, I go for a shoe stall and I'm going to make a run. And when I play, I'll play for fun, no frustration.
