Message: [QUOTE="LxixDude, post: 4041453, member: 291347"] [B][SIZE=5]Playing pro-poker is hard work.[/SIZE][/B] You have to commit to it if you want to be profitable. I just tried going pro over the last year. Perhaps some of my lessons learned can help you in deciding what to do. I was making small but consistent wins when I decided to try going pro. But after 6 months of playing pro and tracking my game I realized I was not making a profit over all. I was making a small loss, just a few dollars or so, but still a loss. That ends up adding up and depleting your bankroll. [LIST] [*]You are a professional so be professional; be responsible in your life outside the game and in the game. [*]Be disciplined - schedule the time you will play; you're a professional now so it is work, schedule the time you will be working. [*]Make yourself accountable to some other people; both other professional players and non-players. Especially when it comes to the Bankroll Management. [*]Stick to a budget - you may have made good winnings before but now you will be drawing funds out of your bankroll, and that can end up depleting you funds fast. [*]Don't forget to set time aside for study and developing your game. You mentioned watching online videos. That won't cut it anymore if you want to be professional. Get a coach, maybe some online courses -RedChip.com is a good place to start. [*]Develop the quality of your life outside of the game. [/LIST]There are so many other things I could say, but these come to mind first. Lastly, as my first coach asked me, Can you do anything else to make money. If the answer is yes then why do you want play poker professionally? [/QUOTE]
