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.
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.
