Are you dreaming of becoming a professional poker player. I know my husband dreams of it and I have to admit that I have let my mind wonder in that direction a few times too. But do we really have what it takes. Well thats when the reallity check comes into play.

Becoming a Serious Poker Player


Ever dreamed of becoming a professional poker player? It seems glamorous. Watching the World Series of Poker or High Stakes Poker on television makes it look easy - setting elaborate traps, playing fast and fearless, and being aggressive - and raking in six-figure pots or eight-figure tournament prizes.

One thing that most professional poker players have in common is the serious level of commitment they have made to their poker and life strategies. Notice that most, not all pros do this. Some are degenerates that are on the hot streak of the century, and they will end up broke at some point.

If you are grinding along in cash games or tournaments, and having some success at it, you may find yourself thinking of playing professionally. The purpose of this article is not to discuss the merits of doing so - that's been done a million times - but to discuss the attitudes necessary to start on that path.

Reality Check


I have been known to win quite a good amount of games but then my game will fall off and I won't win a thing for a very long time. So I am probably more times that not just getting lucky.
