Yes, I have thought about it. Becoming a professional poker player is an exciting dream, but I know it takes a lot of discipline, bankroll management, and continuous learning. For now, I'm focused on improving my skills and enjoying the game. If the opportunity comes, I'll be ready.mimietmour said:
Despite loving poker, the decision to become a professional player is a very difficult one! You need a solid financial cushion to weather the variance, or you can play for a team, where there is pressure to deliver results but also technical support along the way! However that support doesn't guarantee a return on your game if you don't execute the strategies correctly. It is a highly complex game that demands immense dedication to succeed. I hope to eventually make a living from poker as a result of the grind, but I still need to improve and learn day by day until I reach a level of knowledge I feel is sufficient to spend the majority of my working hours at the poker tables.. Win a big tournament would be a dream! Becoming a professional would be the result of the time you put into studying and playing! 🤓
When I first started playing poker, I definitely had that dream of becoming a pro. Maybe all new players imagine that at some point. But over the years my perspective changed. Nowadays I don't even think about it anymore. I realized the professional grind just isn't for me, and I'm much happier treating poker as a fun hobby. I still enjoy the game and always try to play my best, but making a career out of it isn't something I want anymore
For me, it's more of a hobby with benefits rather than a professional career goal. Being a poker pro requires an immense amount of emotional stability, strict discipline, and massive volume every single day. I prefer playing for fun and extra income without that heavy pressure of needing to win to pay the bills. Keeping it as a passionate hobby allows me to actually enjoy the game.
