Message: [QUOTE="LRPharm54, post: 1568033, member: 18036"] [b]Being a Pro Poker Player[/b] It appears to me most know pretty much what it takes to be a pro. I figure it takes guts, a bankroll worthy to start out, determination, focus, study, and a willingness to handle your emotions well under duress. I am seeing anyone who really wants to aspire to a pro to give up an easy life of working for a paycheck in the usual sense and then pay your bills and then investing your money wisely. This holds true in poker as well, but bank management is a main consideration if you expect to make any strides towards attaining "Professional (PRO)" status. The dedication and change of lifestyle is not something everyone can elevate to in the practical sense. It requires a total dedication to the game and a constant desire to improve your game. Not focusing primarily on the money, it should be a goal to maintain some semblance of consistency in winning more than you lose, knowing what levels to play, and knowing just how much to invest in each game. Then it is on to what games are you best at and focus on those and learn others but do it with frugal sensitivity to how much you can afford. Playing cash games and open tournaments in brick and mortar casinos could be a great way to see if you have what it takes. Furthermore, your name will be known if you do well, and a reputation can go far to working in tandem with your success rate to include an increasingly improving ROI. I don't think everyone can be a Poker Pro, but there are those who have the potential given their amount of experience, and how serious they are to develop the characteristics necessary to elevate yourself to a position of "great" player status and climbing the slow rungs of professional poker playing. I am not expert and certainly no professional, but I am very aware of what I see in pros that give them the qualities necessary to obtain and maintain that status. I sincerely laud them for their accomplishments and wish anyone well who wants to attain the goal of becoming a poker master. It takes time, effort, money, and an unswerving reverence to the game of poker to excel to being called a "Pro". That's about all I can think of for now. Take care and be well, and good luck to everyone on the felts.:) [/QUOTE]
