How to Play Poker Videos
how do i become a professional poker player?
I am currently playing online and am having moderate success playing at low limit buy in tournaments ($8-$150). I have made it to several final tables, yet my best finish is 3rd (1K payout for 3rd). I want to take my game to the next level and start winning consistently. Can anyone out there provide me with reasonable advice???

- i cant give u an advice about being a proffesional in this game.. but the advice that i can give is to stay away from it coz no matter how good u r in it u will stay a loser beleive me no one wins in this game
- i believe i can play at about a professional level but maybe im just cocky any way if you want just e-mail me at wylted@yahoo.com i will be glad to sit with you and give you a unique personal plan to bring up your game. A lot of it has to do with reading and also just getting to anylize your little flaws.You can give me your hand history which a lot of sites will keep for you and i can go over it with you but first just get a hold of me and i'll be glad to take an open mind in and help him take his game up to an A level
- the term "proffesional poker player" is a hoax - there is no such thing as a proffesional poker play - it's all a mater of what cards are drawn - it's all luck - there is no skill to it.
- Read Study and Memorize very book Doyle Brunson has written.
- Anyone can become a professional poker player if that refers to a person who tries to do it for a living... that means quitting your day job. But to be successful, I believe it takes a lot of study, both from books and from experience at the tables. Most of the poker books out there aren't very enlightening, but there's a few. Moving your play to the next level is very difficult but achievable... if it were easy, everyone would be doing it. I think you can learn a lot by watching pros play on television; plus, some of the comments they make are enlightening. I recently heard the winner of a major tournament (he was from Japan) make the comment that he had a tough ten years!!! Now that should make a person cautious about quitting that day job.
- Online multi table tournaments is a rough way to try and make it as a pro poker player. If you prefer tournaments over cash games then I suggest specializing in sit and goes or heads up tournaments. I say this because your results will be much more steady and consistent in those games than multi tournaments. You will also make more $$$. A decent player can make a third of a buy-in per sit and go, do the math. You can make decent money playing sit and goes. Heads up tournaments online is one of the best ways to go for a pro because you never have to worry about the guy cheating with other players and if you play good enough you'll win almost everyday. Opposed to the constant ups and downs of multi tournament games. Just get out there and try to do more to better your game than most other players and you can make it. Never tilt or get mad at other players, always take time to make a good decisions, never let your emotions make a play for you, consider as many important things as you can before you act, and just take any steps you can toward being better and I would make an even money bet on ya.
- The definition of a pro poker player is someone who make there whole income from playing poker only. And the only sure way to do that is to play a lot. As Howard Say's ""their is no substitute for good poker"" their is no trick, no magic spell or book it all comes down to experience and game situation. If you have built your bankroll up then you should start to enter some bigger buy in events. Poker stars has the $215.00 buy in every week and the prize pool is 1 million guaranteed, first pays out over 100k on average. I myself live in Vegas so poker big buy in event go on all the time here, step your game up and play some higher limits like 10-20 no limit. Remember the bigger the risk the more profit to be had.
