Are there many for whom poker is the main source of income?
I would like to know your opinion, is it worth trying now to become a professional game player?
Your thoughts on poker today?

I think that's a pretty broad question. I would like poker to be a side hustle for myself - i just havnt grown the bankroll enough yet to start making legit money. I think you have to progress into things - not just want to go pro immediately. If you have never experienced a downswing or never went/came close to going bust, then i am not sure you could handle those rides.

This is a video from one of my favorite vloggers and he kind of gives some advice on anyone thinking of playing pro, as well as shares some of his personal experiences. I hope it helps, good luck to you.

Poker is always an unpredictable thing), for most it's a job, for someone's frustration and just a hobby) and for me it's just a hobby)

For whom is poker the main source of income? Not me..
Who would like poker to be it's main source of income? Yeeeey.

Seriously though, I think people, especially young ones, shouldn't strive to make poker a main source of income. I mean, go play it and have fun, if you win big good, if not it is not so terrible. What is terrible is addiction. gambling especially. Unfortunately, there is a thing called Dunning-Kruger effect, a cognitive bias in which people of low ability have illusory superiority. No one thinks they are bad at poker.

Hi.
I think it is possible. But for this you need to work hard and hard every day. You have to learn, practice, and improve your skills every day. I am sure this is possible.

Hello! For me it's a hobby. But I try to improve my game and maybe poker will be for me more just a hobby. It's nice when your hobby gives you money.
