so there is chance to do it but only in poker,and that is not easy to learn to play like a pro

I used to do this for about 4-5 years and i quit about 3 years ago. There are better things to do, dont fall into that trap. If you have to do something like that try and trade bitcoin markets, at least the skill is transferable if the bitcoin market fails. You become a poker player and your life will go to shit. Seems cool now but its just a shit long term plan.
Why not work on things that you can do for next 20 years etc and be happy/healthy?
work on what
for next 20 years things will be even more fucked up then now
no thanks ill be better playing poker and earn some money that is decent to live with (im good but yet to master it)

Dude i dont know your age right now but poker is a young mans game forever more or less (mathmatical peak is like 23 years i think for a brain) - Unless you are a poker celeb like daniel negreanu you wont enjoy playing poker 6-8 hours a day when you start getting 27-30 years old etc. So if all you've done up to 27 -30 years old is master your poker skills you'll be up shit street by that time. Games get harder year on year as poker isnt growing globally anymore to the levels it once was. The grind gets harder mentally and physically.
There is limited scalability in poker also - have you thought about that single scalability factor, it might be the most important thing to consider? I remember i made more in my first few years as a pro than i did in last. Poker does not scale well at all, you likely get to $20,$50 or even $100 per hour and then its all downhill year on year.
Even if you are 18,19 or something now there are many better things than full time poker playing, it super unhealthy for your body and you turn into a moron who thinks about everything single thing in life in terms of poker.
Play part time and work on a something else also, you can still make good money at poker but not be stuck with it.
When i first tried quiting poker it actually took me about 2 years to actually fucking quit, its really hard to adjust to anything after grinding. I ended up selling some shit on ebay at first to make a livivng and since have worked on selling other shit online in various ways. It actually scales very easy what i do now vs poker, i can actually see ways i could scale to $300k - $500k a year infact (nowhere near that now but the point is it really is possible) - no chance with poker unlesss you are a genius.
I still play occasionally. Thinking about getting back into some part time action but just for fun.
What should you do instead i dont know, diversification is key. What are you good at? I suggest you make a business somehow, same freedoms as poker and way better in so many ways.
i understand yours opinion but well, this could be discussed but my standings are that if your really good you can make a nice living from playing a game where you enjoy,and good living with witch you can open your own bussnies and be your own boss.
i think that poker is game witch gives you oportunity to be what you want in life (lets say you want to have a firm) you can easily make money to open it with playing poker (only if your good enough)
