Just because you made some money through poker,you are now ready to start your career as only gambler?

My advice is keep that $1000 for your expenses until you get your new job,you might lose all that thousand dollars even in a day itself.

He's trying to look for a solution which he thinks gonna fit himself while taking up a rest. The situation he's currently in is a struggle and I understand that because he had won, he became confident with it.

But he's looking for a faster solution and he thinks that's the solution. And he had mentioned that it's his 'dream' to become a pro poker player, well everyone has a dream but who knows? there's nothing wrong to have dream like that but it's up to him on how he'll execution his plan. Just be careful with the triggering effect if the results aren't so good.

Hey guys I'm not so much of a poster but a lurker on this forum I recently took 30 dollars and took it to 500 on pokerstars and then my cpu suddenly breaks and I had to withdraw all my funds to buy a new one. I have major anxiety problems and a job atm isn't really doable since I have super bad social anxiety and have only worked in warehouses but right now I am injured and I'm unable to lift boxes. I am really dedicated to a poker career my goal is to save up to 1000USD then start with the concept of 1/200 tournament buy ins or 5.50 or below tournies. Currently I am killing a boss called vorkath in osrs which gives 3m an hour or 1.50USD an hour so I can save up for the 1000 usd but I feel like there must be a faster way to pursue my dream of becoming a pro poker player in my current situation any advice or help would be great thanks.

So the initial goal for you is to collect 1000$ to be able to setup your poker business. Currently you are getting 1.5 Dollars per hour so theoretically it will take about 700 hours to make $1000 which is very time consuming.

What work you are currently doing and also tell us what skills you have ? Maybe you can find a better paying job so that your goal is achieved in a much quicker time.

It would take 29 days before he accomplished the 1000 dollars. It is very consuminh yet if you are determined, you will patiently wait for that moment. He needs to get also a high paying job because it is not enough to have a poker business. He would also have savings so that he will have a savings even his business fall.

What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger

Poker must be one of the most famous games if not the most famous one in casinos, so you can easily train yourself in different kinds of poker through free games without real money.
Just check what games are available for your phone, I started there!

So you work at warehouse but can't work as of now since you are injured and can't lift boxes? And you wanted to be a pro poker player? In my opinion, think about what is necessary. I mean it's a big risk. You're going to use your money to play poker (just to be a pro), but can't work now. What if you lose? You can play poker whenever you want but don't focus much on that. I think it's still better to prioritize your job.

If he can't work, what else do you suggest he do? A lot of retired and disabled people play sit down games because they are easy on the body.

With that said, not everybody is cut out for a game like Poker, it an put a toll on the mind and the finances, particularly if you get an unlucky streak.

It's not something you bet your life savings on.

Even if your a lousy player you can attract sponsors if you have charisma and draw in viewers. Most big athletes make the majority of their money from endorsements and not actually playing their game. Never give up on your dreams and you may make it one day, don't listen to the haters.

This can happened if OP will really make it thru and build his reputations from this industry, he can achieved his goals and attract sponsors to support his journey, it's a free options for OP to continue proceeding and follow his interest there's no one can stop if he's really well decided the only concerned is OP also needs to check and balanced his situations if he can afford to accept if things won't go according to his desire.

I do really agree with you comments and I will encourage the op to developed his skills on poker as far as he is good in it he will be attract money from all side. I believe that you can learn any area of poker within a shortest period of time and before you know you will began to make huge money from it.

So what's on your mind today? Any plans?

You don't need advice regarding poker plans but advice about how to pursue them. You are confused about what to do.

My suggestion is to take it slowly. Don't rush. Execute your plans on a smooth phase. Patience is all you need.

If you have facebook account you can play in texas poker but it so long already since i play there because i want to gamble with real money

Is there a option of playing texas poker in facebook with bitcoin ?
I heard that texas poker gives you points to play and they are not linked with real money.

I think in the texas poker in facebook doesn't integrate their system with bitcoin (or I miss something because I don't login into my facebook account for a long time ago). As far as I know, facebook uses their own chips to play the texas poker, and I heard that the chips could be sold to another player because some of my friends in the past already did this.

I think in the poker game, you can get a pro poker player if you can improve your skills by defeating the other player and you can control your emotion. But I admitted that it is hard to learn poker and it needs time before we can master the game.

if you will read the post above you , the guy said that its not linked with real money therfor bitcoin is not also present on this game . the chips sold thingy might only be a feature of the game to unlock more in game items or effects just like on any other games . you said learning poker is hard , i agree with that and not just poker but other card games as well because they have different terms that we need to familiarize with , they also involve countings .

Online poker is not just easy for you to make a career. Even how professional you are but there are more and more poker players like you who are good players too. It is hard to determine your opponent and to defeat online you don't know how to read their mind, maybe I would suggest if you pursue being a poker player, just play on a cash basis in a real casino. Maybe a pro poker player will have a chance to earn profit but that does not have a guarantee. But at least you can read their reaction and face emotion by handling their cards and beware of an opponent who had wear sunglasses. Cheesy

You said your friend is a professional player and yet still working right? I think this is enough to inspire someone. I was about advising the OP not to quit his job until I saw this. I don’t think career should stop a player from playing or improving. Like other people have mentioned, there are so many soft wares for self-improvement.

In my opinion, I do not support considering poker or any related gambling games for a career no matter how good you might think you are. Been good does not stop the fact that there is still a level of uncertainty in all of this games. Better to concentrate on your career, then improve yourself in gambling.

If you really want to become a high league pro poker player, earn a name first. In your locality, that's what I mean. Play local, small time, first. If you become a notorious player there, you'll definitely get to play at the higher levels, and when you earn an additional star there, your level goes a notch higher. Good luck!

By the way, you might want to try playing poker at Nitrogen Sports. Try it there. You might love it. You can even play at different tables at the same time with Nitrogen Sports poker.

Today it is not easy to play poker professionally. The good times have long been over and there is no easy money left. Therefore you have to think twice about whether it is right for you

Well unless he will be playing in real casino then there’s a big chance of winning compared to online in which most plays are interfered by the computer and algorithms

But I think Op is good enough in this game and with a advice from professionals in this field will bring him success one day

But remember gambling needs luck comparing to real life job that only skills to gain profit

I have a friend who's a professional poker player now and is competing with local tournaments. Didn't even expected that he's going to be like that because he's a classy guy and has a professional job so whenever he's about to compete, he asks consent from his boss.

I didn't know the full story on how he became a pro and he didn't even mentioned the hardships he went. But if OP really wants to become a pro poker player, my suggestion is you have to be prepared with whatever the outcome of your decision.

guess who's back

you may not like what I will say but I'm 100% sure you are overestimating your skills
you have no experience at all with the higher stakes so if you have more money and played higher stakes the regs at that level most likely will destroy you

in poker you should never take the short way , you should beat the lowest level then move up to the next one
this way you can be sure that you are beating the 1$ games for example and then you can move up to 2$ and so on

even if you have like 5 years experience but only playing 20$ games and lower you will struggle a lot if you suddenly move to the 200$ games

so don't really count on your previous experience , turning 30$ to 500$ is great for sure but you can't tell that you will do that same if you suddenly move up the stakes

I am a part-time professional poker player.

Unfortunately, unless you have racked up a sizeable win amount on Pokerstars or some other poker tracking software, it is highly unlikely anybody will bankroll you.

The only thing you can do is look to be bankrolled by somebody by proving your skills, if you can't do this, then you'll need to grind your way up like everyone else.

I don't really want you to be negative in life but I guess being a professional at poker isn't an easy thing in my opinion, And there is no easy way in getting to the top, Even if you had the skill and determination in you there are plenty of a lot of poker player that is very professional in the field so that will be very difficult in my opinion, And even if you have a very great skill in poker I don't think that this is a normal career and I think it is actually easy getting a fine job that would let you get profit to secure a great business, but you can sure pursue being a poker player but I guess just in moderation and don't make it a career.
