I've been playing online since 2009, I learned to play by reading about poker, watching some matches/tournaments, then playing with face and courage, I'm not a big player or professional, I've already made some gains, I play an average of 4 to 8 hours a day , from Monday to Monday, and I live learning from my mistakes, when I get nervous because of a wrong move, I stop, watch a movie or series, and return

I think it's possible to become a good profitable poker player on your own, but it will take a very long time! If you want to become a professional, you will need the help of a team or a coach, as they can give you very good advice and recommendations, point out your big mistakes that you will only learn about after a very long time! Good luck at the tables!

Of course it is possible. It all depends on you and your desire to be successful. For example, being a member of our community is already a big step towards success.
This last part must be very accurate then :hmmmm2:

When I started to play poker around 18 years ago, it wasn't common these type of thing like coaching or teams and there are many still successful players that started to learn by reading books and watching tournaments. It may take you more time and be more difficult, but it's possible.

Of course it is possible, one needs to evaluate which ways one learns best & try to gain as much information as possible that way. You also need to factor in your goals & the time you have to commit to learning. Your goal is to become a good recreational player who stays around even $ wise, not a lot of point in paying for private lessons from one of the top teachers, instead invest in their books, videos or study some of the free information these teachers offer for free on sites like CC.

It's possible back in 2008 9 I had a great run. I was able to make huge bankrolls and live large off pokerstars it was great however that dried up and went on a bad run stop playing for a few years. I then played a bit here and there and lost almost always. Now I play often but not everyday and I was able to go from minus 3k to up a few hundred lifetime in tournaments. So I'm on the up and up hoping to never again be unprofitable

Everything is possible, it just depends on dedication and time in the game.
It took me 2 years to become profitable, and today I've been playing for 8 years.
But I know people who started to profit after 8 months, it varies from person to person, the type of game and where to seek knowledge to improve their game, especially in free content, which is our focus here.

Of course, you can get lucky and drag out the tournament. But even for an experienced player, this is most likely only a short-term success. Early on in my poker journey, the main source of my learning and improving the quality of my game was playing a huge amount of hands. I literally spent 10-12 hours playing every day. Of course, not all of you have so much free time to devote to the game. However, even if you work full time or study full time, you should still have a couple of hours of free time at night. Consistency is another important quality of a successful poker player. It is very important to try to play every day as much as possible. This will keep the game fresh in your mind and make it easier to remember any key situations you may have been working on lately.

I'm actually try to do that. I'm Studying alone and self teaching all the day. But formally. It is not my first time doing something like that. I can say that if you built a good self teaching method to study you can be a very good Profesional in everything. I'm a proof of that in areas to much difficult than poker. So. Believe it.
