Profession, poker player.

[RoviP]

Sunday 11/13/2022.

How will new technologies impact the professional field of work by 2030?

Tiktokers, youtubers, traders and the metaverse and the new challenges of the decade are realities of work that are increasingly accepted by society.

I have faced less and less resistance to becoming a high-performance professional athlete in online poker.

I believe that by 2030 the Cardchat community will expand with the entry of new members and the profession will be much more profitable with more fans the prize pools will explode into millions and millions of dollars.

And do you also believe that you deserve to be the next millionaire in world poker?

Faith, hope, honesty and victory.

Hugs to the Cardchat community.

My opinion stems mainly from ignorance, but I fail to see the impact of modern technology on the way Poker is played ... even if we'd all wear fancy headsets and have animated avatars in a VR casino, it all stays the same, right?

 

[RoviP]

Minha opinião deriva principalmente da ignorância, mas não consigo ver o impacto da tecnologia moderna na maneira como o Poker é jogado... certo?

I mean the increase in participants and increase in prizes.

With new technology, more and more quality information reaches a greater number of people.

In the 2000s we didn't have the information from Cardschat that motivates us to play.

Not long ago, smartphones didn't even exist and they are accessible to play, although it doesn't seem like online poker has a great tendency to grow in numbers of players worldwide.

Poker was always about finding edges, with all the knowledge available you don't need to think, you just need to memorize to get insta into awareness. Not sure it's good.

Poker is a zero sum game. It's not the sheer number of players, that makes poker profitable, but the amount of recreationals. Even the recs are not as dull as they were pre Black Friday. I'm not sure how the game will become more profitable with more regs at the tables.

Profession, poker player?.. Hm, this is a very interesting profession! But...this is a very, very and etc...nervous profession!.. Therefore Good Luck!

The description of the profession "poker player" also includes a number of characteristics of the player himself. After all, there is no official status confirming that the player is an employee of "poker" in the position of a participant in the gaming process, performing the function of a poker player. That is why poker can be treated as a job only at the level of feelings, perceptions. Any profession implies a socially significant type of activity, but if a poker player is a profession, then what is the significance of poker in society? This is the whole secret of the “poker player” profession, but indeed, this activity can be positioned from two different sides, depending on the level of the player.

Recreational players are typically nice to have at the table, but I find certain "regs" to sometimes be even better (for me).

I recently had a lengthy argument with my friend (whom is a professional online player) regarding solvers. He argued that poker will be dead in 5yrs because all players will be playing "unexploitable" by the solver strategies. My argument was that this is impossible because by playing according to a dogmatic style, the style is immediately outdated. The moment the book is written, it is outdated! Even solvers have built in assumptions which will evolve over time, meaning it is possible to solve the solvers!

Basically, this is a long winded response saying, "even regs have blind spots which are highly expoitable!"

The best players to have at the table are the ones that think they are solvers and have nothing else to work on.

I do accounts on the costs of traditional jobs, displacement cost, tools and daily routine.

When I look at most people's results I always realize that playing poker is worth it.

I resigned today at the traditional job, I'm going to become a professional in poker I believe in my potential.

Wow! What limits/formats are you planning on playing?

Do you have a monthly goal for income?

I've dabbled in playing professionally, but I found I play better without the pressure of "needing to win."

The step to get poker up “ again “ is US / and other countrys allow players to play against other players on pokersites, that will bring the game back on track.

 

[dorivaldojr]

I don't think technology will affect poker!

I wish you much success! Not to pry to much into personal info but I had a couple of questions.

1. Are there plans to do anything to potentially supplement your income from poker to ensure you keep your head above water?

2. This kinda relates to the first question, will you be streaming or uploading vids of your playing or anything else you may consider doing to further/deepen your poker career?

Best of luck my friend!

Edit to add a 3rd question: what type of games are you going to play mainly/focus on, cash games, MTTs or other?

I have reduced my personal accounts to lessen the pressure, my bankroll is small, I intend to build everything from the cardschat tournaments.

Because I agree with you about the emotional difficulty when you need the prize to pay personal bills.

Do you understand the reason to lower the value of my cost of living?

 

[RoviP]

Would be great!

So you mean that the American audit process will bring more confidence in online gaming platforms?

No, but perhaps it is to live a simpler life?

Thank you so much for wishing me success, I say the same to everyone here, in fact we are adversaries but never enemies.

Answering both questions.

1) About maintaining an income and this is very important to maintain financial security regardless of poker results, I intend to do minimal work away from the tables without interfering with the monthly game schedule.

2) About open to the public streminng I only have Facebook followers, my audience passes 4000 followers but they don't know poker.
I hadn't thought anything about it yet, thanks for thinking with me, I appreciate if you have any suggestions on this topic.

3) Mtts will be priority.

Good luck to cardschat and everyone

Thanks for the reply, I completely agree with your first answer, it’s so important to have a handle on finances, it’s a terrible thing not to have stability or at minimum be able to sustain the career choice.

I’m actually looking into question/answer 2, I just know there’s revenue to be had and many chess pros stream due to the lack of income for chess players. I just don’t know how much it can supplement and the work involved, yet. Lol

 

[PointedTip]

Let me just say this.... one day, they will ban cell phones at the table.

 

[Gollox]

I virtual reality is already part of the world of poker and I think that sooner or later it will become a fact only that the world of poker will be a different poker

 

[spunka]

nope, but a lot more players, which means more tables running more money in the pots, which will attrack more players …… that friday in 2011 did “ almost destroy online poker”, ( Black Friday poker )

Oh, you must be old school .
What about business owners? They are also not employees of any kind.

Any profession implies a socially significant type of activity, but if a poker player is a profession, then what is the significance of poker in society?

I see social significance as providing competition needed for a poker table. You can't make a fight club with only one participant. Besides, poker is about keizen of oneself, not about directly improving society. It does this by indirect self improvement of members of society. Because better people create better society.

I see where you are going with this and I understand your point. If there would be only professionals left in poker, money would be wandering around the tables.
The thing is poker teaches few things about "being a man" which were taught by military in the old days. It's a modern take on shaping a character, at least that's how I see it. Fresh players bring money, they get something in return, some of them stay and become pros, some do it for fun, not for profit, some of them go, so it's not like it's a ponzi scheme.
Playing on the site with around 20 players altogether is a big no no. Playing on a site with 300k players, that's completely different story.

I like your point of view - the moment I know villain plays GTO I can counterplay, because I know how he will play.
According to math though, every perfect play will submerge to the same eventually.
This is more about playing people then playing optimally, though.
