I have two colleagues who are professional poker players and they themselves tell me that time is the greatest jewel in life. You have to know who you hang out with and spend your time with. If you want to be a good professional, look for friendship with people who also want to grow a lot! Of course, always study Poker statistics, because every day is more competitive!(y)(y)

I think the life of a pro card player seems glamourous and sophisticated but in reality pros who play on a live circuit have to travel and grind never knowing if any money is coming their way. Hard to have a normal social life as all the work is mainly at night. Probably all their friends are poker pros as well. As far as your English goes, I commend you on your achievement and wish you success in the future.

I think that in terms of social life, a professional poker player is no different from a traditional manager. Yes, poker is a daily job. It's just that a poker player is, first and foremost, a hunter. A hunter with great charisma and without any complexes. :cool:

I think it's not easy to conciliate poker with social life, specially if you are a tournament player because you never know how many yours you will play - there are days that you will lose fast and others you will spend 5-6 hours playing. If you are a cash game player it's easier because you can determine how many hours you will be playing.

I don't think poker skill is so influential with "reading people" in social life, poker does involve a lot of complexity, but socially people are much more complex than at a poker table....
Otherwise, psychologists would be by far the best poker players.

I believe that every person should have a quiet private life. Poker is one thing and private life is another.

I have tried the life of proffesional poker player and I think it was important to have hobbies. I trained kick boxing and thinking of my bad beats while training helped me with extra energy.

Poker is one of the hardest professions, with a lot of problems (like every profession has its problems. It's not the obstacles that matter, but how you solve them)... and if you transfer the problems from poker to social life, then there will be a problem...

I'm not sure whether understand this...

The mental game must be good in order to have a positive effect in life.

Well, if you are not satisfied with my answers, you can rephrase your questions, if you wish...

I think playing poker professionally requires strategies and a lot of discipline, this will actually interfere with the player's schedule, being a poker professional means being able to live exclusively from poker results without having to dedicate yourself professionally to another activity.
