What is your current poker skill level?

[MazzErati]

Hello, I also once thought that I would become a professional poker player, but it takes as much time as any other job, and besides that, there are family matters, you have to allocate time for your child, friends, etc. Therefore, while I am just a good player, I definitely play in the plus, maybe according to TRP I do not play at 90%, but I have a minimal understanding of this.
Good evening everyone.

Profitable for sure.

I'm an angry gamer, I think it sums it up better than the other options! hahahaha

My current level of poker game is a regular player.

Imagine have 16k mtt games at just one poker room, and still playing freerolls... i can call myself a regular mtt player too.. a regular bad player lol

I guess I'm just a regular poker player at the moment, and I don't think anything will change in the near future.

 

[TheKAAHK]

I once was a profitable player, I guess I kinda still am, but more of a rec/regular guy now. Working towards being a profitable semi-professional.

 

[sincos]

It all depends on the limit... I win NL2 and NL5...

intermediate player

I chose recreational player as I only play MTTs occasionally. Poker is a hobby of mine though I do hope to make some money from it again at some point in the future.

Regular player i think because i play regular........but sometime i win and sometime i loose......this is going with my chance .......so i'm not proffesionnal and i'm not beginner.....

I am a beginner, but to be a professional, you only need a lot of money, I don't agree with those who say that you have to study for hours and hours I think it's ridiculous, because poker is a game of chance.

I have been playing poker since 2020 and currently I consider myself
an average player. Poker is not my main source of income, but it does bring me money from time to time. For me, poker is more of a hobby than a part-time job

 

[CheezeWiz]

Well technically I guess I could choose between Recreational, Regular and Profitable, but I think Recreational is the best choice because I play for fun, entertainment and relaxation.

Best of Luck At The Tables All!

I'll stick with being a beginner player; it suits me. However, there's something about poker that I find hard to grasp. I'm used to there being an Elo rating or a ranking system in any discipline I play or compete in, to gauge my level.

For example, if you play chess, you can state a number, and others will have a good idea of your level or how good you are. Now, in poker, I never quite know when I can confidently identify myself as good. Regardless of the results, I'll always wonder if it was just a series of exceptions or genuine skill.

The small steps are very hard for me to measure because to determine if you've improved or not, it takes a lot of time and quantity of games. And that without taking into account the variable that the people you play with may be changing.

Recreational player

 

[ztibor72]

I'm a profitable poker player, I was even semi-pro at one time, but now I only play when I feel like it.

 

[A kiravio]

I play for a short time although I would like more, sometimes I get the fever of the game and sometimes, I'm embarrassed to say it but I fall asleep😕. After all, I'm a recreational player with aspirations.

 

[anasslaaleg]

I am a regular poker player, I want to become a professional, I have not yet built a solid bankroll that allows me to have more freedom, to play with the biggest stacks.

 

[Mauricio Perrotta]

Recreational poker player

Anyone that claims to know more than 1% about any topic is full of it because such simply isn't possible.

In the list I think the category " profitable player" needs to be dropped. I mean one can be mathematically more profitable playing penny ante poker vs high stakes poker.

So that leaves us with a few options easily narrowed. If someone makes their entire income from poker they are professional and everyone else including beginners are recreational players. In my opinion no one is a semi pro unless all of the money they spend on buy ins are paid by money won Not money from their daily jobs or inheritance. People with big money that easily can afford $10k plus buy ins are rarely as good as people who busts their a$$ for the lowest buy in games. Think motivation.....

I would far rather be thought of as a low rent amateur than a high roller. It makes slow rolling and bluffing so much easier....

 

[R.Melnyk77]

I've been playing poker for about 5 years and I'm definitely not a beginner, but I guess I'm an amateur player. For me, poker is more of a pastime than a source of income, at least this trend has been going on lately

 

[Sparta77]

I chose the regular player. I would have liked to indicate that it is profitable or professional

 

[Toruk Makto]

Recreational due to lack of discipline! 😅
