Poker as Hope

fernandofcp · May 30, 2022

Who hasn't dreamed of becoming a millionaire with poker?
Or even having poker as a way to earn good money so you can make your dreams come true?

That's what I think is really cool about poker, the hope that one day luck will come and you can improve your financial life from one moment to the next.

Does anyone who plays poker have that hope?

I would say most of us have that hope..
The real question is - "How hard are you willing to work for it to utilize your luck to the maximum once given the chance?"
Becoming a poker millionaire seems like a dream and you only see the glory.. What you don't see is the amount of hard work these "poker millionaires" put in to get to that level, all the hours of reading, watching videos, using poker practice Apps, investing into pokertracker, sharkscope, premium courses etc.
Keep practicing and you might just get good enough to deserve that opportunity once given!

Yes, the dream is in every poker player i guess, more or less acknowledged.
But your position is not the correct one: "one day luck will come..."
Luck hasn't much to say in being a successful pokerplayer. It is more of learning, discipline, skills etc.

I think every player has this hope (at least I have). I love to play poker, but if didn't exist the possibility of winning money, I probably would still play, but much less than I play today.

I guess we all have this dream but it is important to know that a lot of work and mental toughness is needed. It takes a lot of time to learn and to improve your skills.

Unfortunately for me there is no hope of getting rich with poker, age doesn't help much, my neorons haven't spoken lately, I believe that to become a great poker player, I would have to invest in my career and study hard, so next time maybe.

NightStalker · May 31, 2022

What you said it's a goal in my life.

10gerka · May 31, 2022

I believe that poker is a learning process that one has over the years, we all want to earn a lot of money and even become millionaires, it can be achieved, but you have to work hard to achieve your goals.

Dear Captain Mooti, hello!
Your statement is very interesting when you say that poker “is a learning process that takes place over the years”. I agree with you.
Thanks for sharing your point of view.

Dear Skot_Gy, hello!
Nice to know, as you said, "the dream is in every poker player". About the "luck that one day will come", I say this because for example numerous times a strong hand, which can be a pair of AA, loses to a weak hand 22 after the flop and even on the river. In this case, I find it difficult for a player with AA to let a call when his opponent pushes all in with a weak hand. I also believe that luck is a small part of a successful player, but there must be a minimum of it present and I also agree with you that the characteristics that involve learning, discipline, skills, among others, are fundamental to being a champion in poker.
Thanks for sharing your point of view.

I Dream of Sitting at the Final Table

Often, it flashes through my mind to be sitting at the final table. Not to win, but just make it that far.

Once, I was watching World Wide Poker, and when everyone one was sitting at the Final Table, the speaker said " Congratulation, everyone at this table is a milionaire. LOL
That stuck in my head.
If you slay the Dreamers,
And, all the riches, the Dreamers gave,
It woud put us back on the benches
And be as tha galley slaves.
Mike

My dreams tend to be more realistic. Like becoming a world-renowned millionaire playboy/Nobel prize laureate!

Igor G · Jun 1, 2022

I think each of us has certain hopes and expectations. But I'm used to looking at things realistically, and I understand that I will never become a professional. However, for me, poker is a hobby that brings me pleasure and extra income.

I think that everyone who plays poker dreams of making money with poker and there is always a hope to win big money !!! But the very hope of a random win is not enough !!! You need to work on your game and only then will there be results or at least higher chances of random winnings will increase))

COMIRRR · Jun 1, 2022

We all have hope in ourselves, if we didn't have then what would we play for ?!

najisami · Jun 1, 2022

I guess we all have hope (to a certain extent) of achieving a big score playing poker especially for those of us who had already experienced the taste of a nice win (I mean a few thousands, not millions..).

77ecos · Jun 1, 2022

Of course I dream of it and I hope to achieve it, in the meantime I keep learning and improving my game, I still have a long way to go but I'm taking solid steps

EmptyHouse · Jun 1, 2022

I don't hope poker will make me a millionaire. I know my place in the ranks and I know that it is unrealistic. I can only earn some extra money by playing poker. I invest the money earned in this way on the stock market.

Djon25 · Jun 1, 2022

Sometimes even 100 dollars is nice to earn

I agree with what is being said here, the vast majority have this dream.

And the amazing thing is that it is possible.

dreamer13 · Jun 2, 2022

Hope is the last thing that tips the scales of your decision
in the direction of a bad call, or something else? Over the entire distance of playing poker, people have learned to calculate the probability of winning their hand over the possible one. A lot of useful software plus access to any information on any subject
allows you to make the right decisions. With every moment played (second, minute, hour)
You are approaching the predictable mathematical model of a good player. You should always believe in hope.

leoniq888 · Jun 2, 2022

Yes, of course there is! But I think for this dream to come true, you have to work a lot on your game, analyze your hands (look for mistakes), work on self-discipline and control. And also try to be careful to learn to read your opponents. And, of course, persistence. And good luck will come if you follow these rules.

Mauricio Perrotta · Jun 2, 2022

No, the truth is that I never thought of it that way, I was attracted to the game itself, in order to get rich with poker you must have a good financial backing, otherwise it is very difficult to achieve it.

June4Spades · Jun 2, 2022

Sure, I do, too. And the chances are better than winning in the lottery, at least.

Dear cook, hello!
Truth. Interesting your opinion about this feeling of hope that extends to all players. But unlike you, in my case, if there was no opportunity to make money, I would stop playing poker.
Big hug and success!
