Message: [QUOTE="marvbake, post: 5406737, member: 353043"] I think so, but don't pin your life hopes on poker lol. Acquire a skill or two that's not poker. You see all these high profile poker players on tv or on the high stakes tables that build their rolls from nothing, so clearly it's possibly as you see it in front of you. To be good, it's all about emotional intelligence and creativity. I say emotional intelligence because you can't be afraid to make a bad bluff or call or to lose your buy-in, etc. Getting rid of those inhibitions are essential because 1. they dont hold you back, but 2. because you won't confuse your emotions with other emotions when trying to make a decision where you might have to rely on feel. Don't become too dependent on feel though, you still need to be logical constructing a range and taking the math into account as well. You also need to be able to weather a lot of storms, because variance sucks but it's always going to be a part of poker. And creativity because you can try to different moves in different spots depending on board texture, etc. You get to get rid of your emotional inhibitions along the way as you do so since you will have alot of opportunities to practice creativity while pushing past those emotions that once held you back. If you can make more moves, opponents will have a harder time constructing a range against you. Some might say I failed to include bankroll management, but I feel you can always rebuild you bankroll from scratch if you go bust. However, when you get it to at least the few hundreds or thousands, then bankroll management will definitely need to be implemented. I, SOMETIMES, advocate a high risk high reward bankroll strategy early on because it's faster to build it that way and I can always start over from scratch if I bust. After having lost my bankroll a couple of times, I've gotten rid of that inhibition of being scared to lose my roll since I was able to rebuild so many times after. FYI, I'm not a winning poker right now, but I've studied alot, thought alot, and am progressively becoming more emotionally intelligent everyday. [/QUOTE]
