Poker Career

[MonsterV]

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.

You said you do not want to be negative but yet you are already sounding negative with the comment you gave, There’s no dream that is too big to achieve and the fact that there are already existing players does not stop new professionals from emerging. The sky is wide enough for everyone to fly and anyone can become whatever they desire to be. They might only need to have a teachable heart and be ready to learn.

My only advice for the OP is not to quit he’s job. If he is determined to be a PRO then he can mix it with he’s job, just that he would have to make a huge time sacrifice for this. But I believe in the end, it will be worth it.

Well, bro. Sometimes a person cannot equate what he cannot achieve with the abilities of others. Maybe he can't reach it and thinks the OP is only dreaming, but here disagrees with him because the ability and luck for everyone is different.

It could be that the OP really did become a Pro poker player. Because this is a personal experience for me, where the effort will not betray the results.

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.

I enjoy poker because I win all the time l can save everyday for the future of my kids just to have their needs for school. Its really a big help to me fir the needs of my kids This is better than expecting of nothing.

So you can be called as man of luck.

even the players with lot of experience on playing poker didn't win every game there betting.

It is interesting you said your computer CPU broke down... or is that computer CPU?  Would you mind telling us why it broke down? You sure the poker website isn't using your cpu power for something else, like mining cryptocurrencies?

I like the idea of career in poker. If that is really possible I would try to learn to be a poker player too.

I don't think it's good depends on poker game, it doesn't matter you can win all the time but you spend money from poker for your kids future. Gambling does not always give you an advantage, you should not make it the main thing to make money.

Exactly. Try to have a stable job that's way nicer if you really want to save some money for your kid/s. Gambling is at a 50/50 chance and sometimes it is even lower than that, other benefiting factors are being greedy and let emotions take over when gambling. There are real career professionals on poker though I find it as a hobby for them and I guess it isn't easy to get there it involves talent and most of all money.

Turning your 30$ into 500$ is quite a accomplishment - no one is denying that
You should take this as a sign from your CPU suddenly breaking down which forced you to withdraw your funds
If you are really thinking about making a career from playing online poker maybe you should listen to some of the horrorstories that get tossed around so much
Beginners luck is a real thing and you might have got it but in the long run online poker or even physical poker is only a career very few can have

You have to assess both sides whether you can take things according to your interest if you can workout with your knowledge and you can keep yourself enhancing with your skills, it's all about how will you survive and how keen you are adding progress and adding chances to your career.

Weigh in and do check and balance with how things will improve your chances to live with this choice that you will going to venture.

My advice is that you will never become a Poker player because this is not an employment.
Gambling is only for fun and if you try to do it professionally you will end up loosing everything.

You are very right and its quite unfortunate that so many gamblers would not accept this truth, having gambling game as a career is like creating a hole in a pocket full of money because it will definitely go dry with time.

The aspect gamblers fail to understand is that it is possible to go into gambling with an entertainment mentality and yet make so much money but at the same time, one can enter with the heart of playing professionally and still keep on losing money.

Poker games is my most favorites gambling games and considering my expertise in this game, I ought to have considered it a profession but I refuse to do this because I understand gambling so well. Players who take it for a profession never make money from it and those who play for fun, can end up even making more, moreover, gambling is too full of uncertainty for anyone to consider it a s a profession.

Here's a poker success story in case you guys are interested.  Chris Moneymaker.  The inspiration that started the poker boom of the early 2000's.  He was an amateur who qualified for the WSOP main event by playing a satellite online and took on the pros of that time and won.

Enjoy.  I hope it inspires you guys...

The fastest will be to get a loan, from your relatives and friends who believe in your skills do not go for a loan shark, or if you have some jewelry or a real estate or something that you can pawn will be ok, but only do this if you really think that you can make a career in poker, think ten times and if you are so sure then go for it.

^  Lololol!  Pawn some jewelry (and real estate, is that possible?)??  Sounds like a tweaker running out of cash.  

Anyway watch these vids.  I hope it gets you guys interested in taking up the game.

wow that's crazy, bro. the risk is too high if you use loan funds to gamble. It might not matter if the OP has consistent profits, he just needs to borrow and raise the betting budget. But I do not recommend things like that, maybe it would be good if lucky and vice versa would be very bad if not lucky. It's better to use a parlay system by doubling the bet from the previous profit.
