Online poker as a 'career' isn't as easy as it used to be imo.  It's better to play live cash games.  The game's a little slower but there's more recreational players that could make up for the lack of volume.

The first thing you need to become a pro poker player is you need to have skills in poker, and you know how to play poker more than other people, you can control your emotion in the poker game, you know how much money to bets in the poker, and else.

And if you don't have good skills in poker, you can try to learn from the software which you don't have to use the money to learn poker. That will help you to improve your skills, so you are ready to play poker with the other player. But there will be many other you will need to learn besides learning the poker game.

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.
Your dream of becoming a professional poker's player is achievable just that you need dedication and commitment since you know your conditions. Poker playing is highly risky but that does not mean people are not making it through poker playing. Investing in bankrolling is another way to make money just that you need to invest hugely in other to make it.

To overcome your fears keep your mind where you want to go and not at your anxiety or fears you might have.Once you are calm you can start and try to get into a poker career,it is very difficult but not impossible and if you are decided to achieve it you will.You just need a bit of more self esteem.

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

Then you can also try to download poker in playstore like there's a lot that you can use to experience different things about poker like you can become pro by that in my opinion because you can experience many moves and strategy there
There's a lot of ways to master poker online, but I'm telling you the scenario on the real casinos is totally different compare to those applications. Well, if you really want to have a good career on playing poker then you must experience it in the real world. Go to casinos and spare a small money for you to experience that, it will be hard for sure.

are you talking about large field MTTs, single table SNGs? some combination? this will greatly affect the number of buy-ins you need. my rule has always been minimum 200 buy-ins for SNGs (including small field multi-table). large field MTTs have extremely high variance so you'll need more.

due to variance, being a pro requires the ability to ride out long stretches (weeks or even months) of break-even play or slight losses. so if i were really depending on poker for a living, i would want minimum 500 buy-ins. you also want a cushion in the bank for a few months living expenses so you aren't stressing over day-to-day expenses.

it sounds like you've got potential, but it's also important not to play beyond your means. maybe consider going semi-pro for a while, to help ride out the variance while you build your bankroll.

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.

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

The best advise is too start low and keep to a strict bankroll management.

Do you want to play sng/tournaments or just cash games ? If you want to play cash games Google for Raszi's bankroll management.

Tournaments is what I had success with before I have currently made 150 usd from osrs but I feel like I need more to start doing tournaments every day since I have heard 100-200 buy-ins is recommended
