Message: [QUOTE="cotta777, post: 2523771, member: 93414"] I think the 3 components that define a pro from a good amateur are the following Emotional control in all areas of your game Concentration - an ability to maintain sharp focus (this is a gift most wont ever have it) Which is why poker should be treated as a hobbie not an obsession. Finally work ethic, you have to put in to get out, desire, manifestation, and an art of development and persistency in the right areas. As hulinada has mentioned poker tournament will adventually drain all your energy it's soul destroying because the amount of hours and the amount of near misses you experience in pursuit as massive gains, also the swings of tournament poker are not healthy for anyone who has emotional attatchment to poker [/QUOTE]
