The first tip is to have free time to dedicate to studying and learning poker. The second tip is to play gradually with little investment to build a bankroll and continue training with real money in online tournaments. Another important tip is to vary your strategies depending on the type of tournament and the opponents to be defeated.

Hello
First of all, you need to buy yourself a cool hoodie, preferably with the logo of some popular poker site. In addition, you must buy yourself a nice baseball cap and dark glasses. And most importantly, you should always have several cans of cold beer and definitely sandwiches at hand.

First of all, you need to have a great desire to play poker and enjoy it as a game. If you are a novice player, you need to start from scratch to learn card combinations, watch a training video for beginners, and preferably find a poker coach (of course, who plays plus at his own limit). Learn the percentages of winning card combinations to know your chances in different poker situations. And to practice, start with micro limits, don't start with expensive tables, 99.9 percent that this won't end well. To lead a healthy lifestyle, there is nothing to avoid during or before playing (alcohol is a drug...).

Your motivation should match your desire to become a professional. Ask yourself what you are willing to sacrifice to achieve your goal, and think about whether you are ready for such sacrifices.

It seems to me, as in any business, a professional is defined by 2 qualities - good knowledge and practice. So study a lot, watch streams, read books, study both the mathematical and mental side of the game of poker and reinforce everything with the game. And of course, analyzes of your own games “for dessert” Good luck in your endeavors!
Good luck in your endeavors!

Have discipline
For me the main thing is discipline, if you don't have discipline there is no Pro player and the Pro players themselves tell you that.
Control of emotions
In poker, emotions have too much variance. The famous downswing must be learned to see it as a learning experience rather than as a time of bad streak. Analyze why it happens. Is it a bad streak??? or is there part of my game that I should improve???
The famous "tilts" are even life issues. How many times do we put ourselves on "tilt" in life itself???
It is not only celebrating the good streaks, but incorporating everything into the game so that the profit line is positive in the long term.
Absolutely respect your bankroll
This question is in reference to the fact that although every poker player has to draw from his bankroll for his daily life economically, he must respect this bankroll in the sense of playing at the levels in which you can access according to your bankroll.
That is, do not play cash tables or Mtt's in which the entry does not destroy your bankroll (Example, if your bankroll is US$100, play US$1 tournaments and do not play US$10 tournaments)
Study
This is essential. Have some study time daily, in the way you like best. Watching videos, reading, checking your hands with a program, doing a course, etc.
Practice and play daily
This is also essential. The recommendation could be to play at low limits and put study techniques into practice.
It is also very important to respect rest times.

this is a very difficult and lengthy goal. To achieve it, you need to have a very strong will to do this, but a quick way to learn, of course, but it's better to hire a coach to quickly promote you in this regard and you will develop faster than other guys, the main thing is to have a strong patience, you can also learn from a coach for free when entering poker schools
