No one respects the Brazilian poker player

[paddyswarrior]

When I say that nobody respects Brazilian poker players, it's because of what happened to me in the last few days. I have noticed that my scheduled game times end up being interrupted by people in my relationship..

There is no respect for my game schedule, I realize that if it were a job and work hours no one would ask for my presence, but as it is my game time they do not respect and ask for help with important things for them but they do not consider how important it is for a poker professional to follow a schedule, be focused, it's like every day a piece of my dreams is erased, that's why sometimes I feel like isolating myself, I know that friendships and family are important, but winning and being a champion is getting the bracelet is also very important to me.

My financial conditions require me to play professionally, but the conditions themselves hinder this evolution, such as breaking the "eggshell" and leaving the "embryonic" format, professional anonymity and being respected, should I play high buy ins and make a big award ?

So your a professional poker player?

I don't think regular poker pros get much respect from anyone. For a long time, poker players were considered "degenerates" in North America.
Now, I think players have taken back that insult and wear it like a badge.
I think there is a lot of ignorance about poker. People who don't play, either view it as a just-for-fun pastime, or they see it as a thing like alcoholism or drug addition. They see it as an illness or something to be worried about.
In the UK, I think there was a lot of interest maybe 15 years ago...but these days, I think you're just as likely to be labelled GAMBLER as anything else...so not a tonne of respect here either.
I would be interested to hear a mortgage application meeting at the bank for a poker player who is just getting by... I'llbet banks are not that accepting either.

In your case....As many have said here, this needs to be discussed. Calmly. Clearly. Rationally.
If you're planning to be a pro, you need to have some clarity around that plan. In terms of your bankroll management. Progress. Targets. Etc.
Document it all, track it all. That's how businesses work. They need to know when they're on track for solid profits or whether they are needing to seek external investment.
If you can demonstrate the other side, perhaps people can see how serious you are.

I liked your vision, brought more points of view, thanks for the collaboration.

Good question, yes I am already a professional, but I still don't have the necessary result, I changed a lot in my life to be able to become a professional, although I still can't live exclusively from the financial results of the game, but soon it will be my full-time job .

I guess Your office is at your home, and You need to make clear that at this specific time You can't stop, this happen to me working as IT home office.
Is easy to mix things up when the office is at home, people think You're relaxing just watching videos and making funny calls. You should make known that You're not playing around, well, You actually are playing lol
when they understand I think they will help You, at least this happen to me.
And Yes you need to win some good $ to bring the bacon at least. If you don't bring enough dough, houston we have a problem.

I think that people today don't put themselves in the place of others, so they don't realize what is important or a priority for someone else!

all our life dreams are full of obstacles and that is necessary to build a solid base, after you reach that base you will reach your dreams. I will be rooting for you. good luck.

I agree with you. The path is never easy

Have you won any major online or live events or what's your biggest win so far in a tournament?

The title is very unlucky to be honest.

It can be a common problem, so you have to take responsibility for your own time and decisions, and make a great effort on balancing the valid times and people and tasks in your life!

Perhaps they (like myself) are thinking along these lines...

I have no plans to become a high roller or a pro poker player, and if a friend or someone from my family distracts me during the game, I cannot have two answers, in your case, the situation is different, because you are making plans for the future, so you can explain to friends and family that it is not worth while playing are you distracted, I think they will understand and will not interfere?

Poker is a game where people like you play. And it doesn't matter which country you are from, you should respect it.

I changed a lot in my life to be able to become a professional

I hope the change goes to the right direction, first of all love Yourself and your family. And always respect the bankroll limits that You set clearly.
