First fact to be profitable.

[DiegoRamos]

Are you honest with yourself?

First, you need to know yourself well, or rather, be deep with your self-knowledge, really, not fantasize or mask feelings.

You need to know what your strengths and weaknesses are, be rational.

Being able to answer that, will be your first step to know if it is possible to be profitable and make a living from this game.

those are very important questions to ask but I don't think that's enough to be profitable

Of course, knowing this doesn't magically make you profitable, but it shows you the path you need to follow to perfect yourself and follow your journey.

You have to study a lot, improve your game, have a strong mindset and dedicate yourself to be profitable.

Deep down, I like it, but being aware of these you can't come to terms with yourself (to come to terms with yourself can mean resigning or capitulating) which would be the spark that gives us momentum to go to perfection?

For me, poker is primarily a hobby. Poker makes me a profit, but it's not enough money to pay the bills. I work at a job to pay the bills. For me, poker is entertainment after work, in the evenings and at the same time it is a small additional income.

The character of the player really influenced the gameplay .

Strong agree with you, buddy.

 

[drinker]

I quite adequately assess my skill and my experience. I will not become a professional, but it is not difficult to get pleasure from the game

The word perfection is very literal on any level, as we are human beings, and we have emotions, regardless of the intellectual or emotional level, it will not be possible to achieve.

So the ideal is always to get close or in your A game, but perfect, especially in work or better, in poker, not possible.

Perfect, and that's okay, if you believe you're where you want to be, that's fine. There's no reason to be judged for it!

keep calm and don't rush

 

[Fernando_RO]

You just need to learn from your mistakes and successes, and see your goals. If you want to dedicate yourself and live from poker, you must be willing to make the necessary sacrifices, time, studies, investment, etc. Just live life.

 

[amonlima]

And do you know yourself? Can you identify your strengths and weaknesses?

 

[drdnd]

Study, study, study!

 

[0546474]

Unfortunately, I cannot boast that I earn a living playing poker, but nevertheless, my profit from poker, although not big, is quite stable !!! And yes, I know my weaknesses, but unfortunately I can’t fix them in any way !!! Perhaps this is due to my character or simply unwillingness to correct them))))

 

[valen.bs.95]

Gotta be patient

 

[Herkstwin]

Yes, knowing one's self is critical to being a winning poker player. Know you intuitions, inclinations, behaviours, and your faults. Then work on fine-tuning them into winning poker.

 

[MF.Brn]

Knowing yourself is the first step, and acknowledging that you don't know everything is the second. After that you just have to study, play and have patience and it will work

 

[GarotoMaroto]

I dont really believe in this,if you focus and dedicate yourself you can really do anything you want so,for me,its all about the will to do something XD
God bless

If you can live from the game as long as you respect your bank or manage to form a good bank in my case it has been very difficult because of the situation we have in our country since I have not been able to have a decent bank

 

[Gallarado777]

your character should change in poker even if you are a strong person in life here you will need to be patient and adapt your character to yourself and to the game, the main thing is calm in the game and a lot of thinking and getting to know your opponents by studying them throughout the game and you will reach the final table for sure

First step to becoming profitable: learn how to fold. Early and often.

 

[sincos]

Yes, you need to be aware of every action when playing poker...
