Hey guys I'm not so much of a poster but a lurker on this forum I recently took 30 dollars and took it to 500 on pokerstars and then my cpu suddenly breaks and I had to withdraw all my funds to buy a new one. I have major anxiety problems and a job atm isn't really doable since I have super bad social anxiety and have only worked in warehouses but right now I am injured and I'm unable to lift boxes. I am really dedicated to a poker career my goal is to save up to 1000USD then start with the concept of 1/200 tournament buy ins or 5.50 or below tournies. Currently I am killing a boss called vorkath in osrs which gives 3m an hour or 1.50USD an hour so I can save up for the 1000 usd but I feel like there must be a faster way to pursue my dream of becoming a pro poker player in my current situation any advice or help would be great thanks.

The best advise is too start low and keep to a strict bankroll management.
Do you want to play sng/tournaments or just cash games ? If you want to play cash games Google for Raszi's bankroll management.

Tournaments is what I had success with before I have currently made 150 usd from osrs but I feel like I need more to start doing tournaments every day since I have heard 100-200 buy-ins is recommended

Today it is not easy to play poker professionally. The good times have long been over and there is no easy money left. Therefore you have to think twice about whether it is right for you

So the initial goal for you is to collect 1000$ to be able to setup your poker business. Currently you are getting 1.5 Dollars per hour so theoretically it will take about 700 hours to make $1000 which is very time consuming. What work you are currently doing and also tell us what skills you have ? Maybe you can find a better paying job so that your goal is achieved in a much quicker time.

are you talking about large field MTTs, single table SNGs? some combination? this will greatly affect the number of buy-ins you need. my rule has always been minimum 200 buy-ins for SNGs (including small field multi-table). large field MTTs have extremely high variance so you'll need more. due to variance, being a pro requires the ability to ride out long stretches (weeks or even months) of break-even play or slight losses. so if i were really depending on poker for a living, i would want minimum 500 buy-ins. you also want a cushion in the bank for a few months living expenses so you aren't stressing over day-to-day expenses. it sounds like you've got potential, but it's also important not to play beyond your means. maybe consider going semi-pro for a while, to help ride out the variance while you build your bankroll.

If you have facebook account you can play in texas poker but it so long already since i play there because i want to gamble with real money
Then you can also try to download poker in playstore like there's a lot that you can use to experience different things about poker like you can become pro by that in my opinion because you can experience many moves and strategy there
There's a lot of ways to master poker online, but I'm telling you the scenario on the real casinos is totally different compare to those applications. Well, if you really want to have a good career on playing poker then you must experience it in the real world. Go to casinos and spare a small money for you to experience that, it will be hard for sure.

To overcome your fears keep your mind where you want to go and not at your anxiety or fears you might have.Once you are calm you can start and try to get into a poker career,it is very difficult but not impossible and if you are decided to achieve it you will.You just need a bit of more self esteem.

Your dream of becoming a professional poker's player is achievable just that you need dedication and commitment since you know your conditions. Poker playing is highly risky but that does not mean people are not making it through poker playing. Investing in bankrolling is another way to make money just that you need to invest hugely in other to make it.

The first thing you need to become a pro poker player is you need to have skills in poker, and you know how to play poker more than other people, you can control your emotion in the poker game, you know how much money to bets in the poker, and else.
And if you don't have good skills in poker, you can try to learn from the software which you don't have to use the money to learn poker. That will help you to improve your skills, so you are ready to play poker with the other player. But there will be many other you will need to learn besides learning the poker game.

Online poker as a 'career' isn't as easy as it used to be imo. It's better to play live cash games. The game's a little slower but there's more recreational players that could make up for the lack of volume.

I don't really want you to be negative in life but I guess being a professional at poker isn't an easy thing in my opinion, And there is no easy way in getting to the top, Even if you had the skill and determination in you there are plenty of a lot of poker player that is very professional in the field so that will be very difficult in my opinion, And even if you have a very great skill in poker I don't think that this is a normal career and I think it is actually easy getting a fine job that would let you get profit to secure a great business, but you can sure pursue being a poker player but I guess just in moderation and don't make it a career.

I am a part-time professional poker player. Unfortunately, unless you have racked up a sizeable win amount on Pokerstars or some other poker tracking software, it is highly unlikely anybody will bankroll you. The only thing you can do is look to be bankrolled by somebody by proving your skills, if you can't do this, then you'll need to grind your way up like everyone else.

Online poker is not just easy for you to make a career. Even how professional you are but there are more and more poker players like you who are good players too. It is hard to determine your opponent and to defeat online you don't know how to read their mind, maybe I would suggest if you pursue being a poker player, just play on a cash basis in a real casino. Maybe a pro poker player will have a chance to earn profit but that does not have a guarantee. But at least you can read their reaction and face emotion by handling their cards and beware of an opponent who had wear sunglasses. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

you may not like what I will say but I'm 100% sure you are overestimating your skills you have no experience at all with the higher stakes so if you have more money and played higher stakes the regs at that level most likely will destroy you
in poker you should never take the short way , you should beat the lowest level then move up to the next one this way you can be sure that you are beating the 1$ games for example and then you can move up to 2$ and so on
even if you have like 5 years experience but only playing 20$ games and lower you will struggle a lot if you suddenly move to the 200$ games
so don't really count on your previous experience , turning 30$ to 500$ is great for sure but you can't tell that you will do that same if you suddenly move up the stakes

I have a friend who's a professional poker player now and is competing with local tournaments. Didn't even expected that he's going to be like that because he's a classy guy and has a professional job so whenever he's about to compete, he asks consent from his boss.
I didn't know the full story on how he became a pro and he didn't even mentioned the hardships he went. But if OP really wants to become a pro poker player, my suggestion is you have to be prepared with whatever the outcome of your decision.

Well unless he will be playing in real casino then there’s a big chance of winning compared to online in which most plays are interfered by the computer and algorithms But I think Op is good enough in this game and with a advice from professionals in this field will bring him success one day But remember gambling needs luck comparing to real life job that only skills to gain profit

If you really want to become a high league pro poker player, earn a name first. In your locality, that's what I mean. Play local, small time, first. If you become a notorious player there, you'll definitely get to play at the higher levels, and when you earn an additional star there, your level goes a notch higher. Good luck!
By the way, you might want to try playing poker at Nitrogen Sports. Try it there. You might love it. You can even play at different tables at the same time with Nitrogen Sports poker.

If you have facebook account you can play in texas poker but it so long already since i play there because i want to gamble with real money
Is there a option of playing texas poker in facebook with bitcoin ? I heard that texas poker gives you points to play and they are not linked with real money.
