It's a long road, but if I do accomplish tho keep my head straight, I'd love to become a pro. Poker has always been one of my favorite pastimes and would love to feel the thrills and chills while playing for top prizes all over. It's a world wide game, it's amazing the culture that come with it. May all your cards be live, and may all of your ppys be monsters!

I think every player would like to become professional, but this requires a lot of effort, time and endurance.

Well, of course I'd like to earn for a living via poker. But that's hardly possible for me because it's sooooo risky.

Let's start with legislation - online poker has been legalized recently in my country (Belarus) but effectively only poker rooms operating locally are allowed; access to global poker rooms haven't been restricted but the future is unclear.

Another major point - becoming profitable player. And that requires so much learning and playing that with full-time job there is too little time for that. Considering that my job is well payed I wouldn't want to neglect in favor of poker.

Yes...I would love to play poker for a living...I think a lot of poker players feel that way...I have much respect for people who can make a living playing poker...I'm sure there is a lot of stress doing so...but I'm sure the love of the game outweighs the stress levels...

I do not want to become a professional poker player. Here you need to clearly understand what you want to achieve: to play well, earn a lot, travel a lot, etc. Poker is primarily hard work, which requires a lot of time and effort.

I assum with 'pro' you mean a poker player that makes (more than) enough money to live on AND be poker player, a (full time) job.

Part 1 (get a lot of money) I don't mind:D
Part 2 is not attractive, I would not like to play poker as job.

Yeah, nah. I would like to earn shat-tons of money playing Poker, but I wouldn't want to become a pro. It is too much work for too little reward.

UNLESS I was psychic and could guarantee that I'd end up winning big on demand. I would have to be sneaky about it and lose some huge coolers quite regularly so people would think I'm losing regularly like everybody else. But then clutch huge once in a while and massacre the least popular people at the table, earning hero status. Every time I would lose, it would be to the most popular players, making out like I'm the underdog, gaining hero underdog status. In time I would develop the ultimate underdog, non-mainstream, empathetic, badass Poker God cult following, on par with gods like Kevin Bacon, Marlon Brando, Patrick Swayze and Big Daddy. I would create secret businesses under wraps, and slowly but rapidly take over the world. No government could resist me. I would appear as innocent as Chris Pratt, but in fact be as dangerous as John Wick. Mentally untouchable, publicly adored, privately the new god of this world.

End scene.

Pro poker player.

Most good players think they could make it as a pro but when your income relies solely on the profitability of sessions and your livelihood is consistently on the line every time you sit down at a table...emotional and mental strength easily become more volatile. I can win as a rec player...but as a pro I'd be a losing one.

It would not be as fun as you, may think.... Living on the road, having to play, to earn a living? I can see why we need to keep our day jobs.
For me, playing well, learning to play better, an having fun is the best to expect.

Hello.
Yes of course. I would like to be a professional player.
Although I play poker for only 5 months, I try to improve my skills every day. I hope that over time I will be able to play well enough to start increasing my deposit.

No , just a profitable hobby sounds good and balanced for me :)


That's where I have been for a while. It is more fun that way. They say you should always have another hobby outside of gambling anyway.

I believe dreaming everyone dreams.

It creates an illusion with poker and so we have to have the head in place to make the best decisions, regardless of the limit you play.

Enjoying the trip for a total, will be enjoyable.
In this journey, we will meet new people, new cultures and opportunities.
I dream and believe it to be possible but for this to have dedication and persistence every day

Oh, that's sounds good. On the one hand, it's very romantic- to spend a lot of time, travelling, playing Poker and hanging out with professional players improving your skills. But on the other hand, I am not sure that I am able to have such way of living. It's too exhausting to my mind. So as for me, I'd like to spend couple of weeks as a real pro, but I prefer to spend most of time with my family and enjoy playing poker online

I usually play poker for fun, I really like the game. If I would like to continue learning, reading poker books, watching videos to learn the techniques and so many tricks to win with the bluffs, watch the videos of professional players. Without a doubt, Being a poker professional, you can live from the game.

of course, every newbie would like to become a poker pro. But this requires a lot of work, as well as a very good bankroll. which allows you to play on large limits. And also it is necessary to have any passive income, the so-called financial cushion, just in case
