There is no point in being afraid of a professional team player. He is the same person with his own shortcomings and problems. Pros make fewer mistakes at a distance, I think so. It's another matter if these players play for the same team online, then the team has an advantage. ))

If you're "scared" of sponsored pros you should be scared of everyone you're playing with. There are more good players that aren't sponsored than that are and if you're playing at the buy-in level those pros are you're probably up against some of them (unless it's a "club" event they're playing to gain Twitch viewers or something).

Not at all, why should you unless you're like Matt Damon playing TeddyKGB w/ your life??
Also, watching pros play you see them make the same mistakes putting somebody on certain hands only to come out lookin like a donkey/human when it's somethin totally different..

Well, I know how to play poker and I am prepared to play with all players. Doesn´t matter they are professional, experienced, recreational or amateur. I just need to know how each one play. Honestly, I find it more difficult to play with amateurs and recreational players. They do not respect positions, number of chips and still risk everything with bad hands.
Yes. We are all human. We need just stay calm and think we have the same chances.
Everyone makes mistakes, even professionals, and winning against a pro player tastes better

I've played at the same table with "labelled" pros and pros that aren't affiliated but have won millions. If you don't have notes on such a player beforehand you may notice a style of play that is a little different. When you pick up on this, study this player at every position and for every orbit of the puck then look them up afterwards. These guys and gals are masters and it's always a pleasure to encounter them at a table. Like the ELO rating in chess, if you can beat them by playing well then you've earned and learned something.

I'm not afraid, I would be very happy if someone from the pro knocked out of the game, they are the same people and cards do not distinguish between a pro or a beginner, look at the twitch of their game, they often merge, however, like everyone else
