If you "love" it AND you can afford to continue playing, then the advice above to work hard to become a better player is good. But, if you're not sure, then maybe you don't "love" it as much as you tell yourself. If you're losing more than you can easily afford, or not making as much as you need to make, maybe it's time to reassess where you can realistically go with poker.

If you want to make a living from it, you HAVE to be good, plain and simple. Loving it is a bonus, making it easier to continue, but loving the game won't necessarily help you make a living from it. Being good IS necessary and that means winning and systematically building your bankroll over time. Being good comes from more than just loving it and hard work.

I'm not good enough to make a living from poker, so I play for entertainment. I don't lose money, but I don't consistently build my bankroll either. I know that and am okay with it. I still hate losing, and go into a little funk every time I do, but I'm not losing anything that I can't afford to lose.
