    Even if you have done all sorts of strategies to become a professional player, at the very least you should play for a trial so you have experience of how to play online poker professionally. It’s not enough to just learn the theory without you testing your skills on the Poker app of your choice.

    Take a week off from your job and spend the next five working days doing nothing but playing poker (at least you’ll get paid even if you have a bad week). You might surprise yourself how hard it is to motivate yourself to play poker non -stop for a week.

    Or how after four hours of competing at the match table you suddenly lose all focus. It is best that you know that you are not serious about the professional life of poker before you start playing for a living.

    Hopefully the above tips can help you a little in improving your Poker skills.

    I want to add that this is not so easy to do. And don't think that this is an easy life, where you play 2 hours a day and then have fun and go about your business. This is a difficult task that requires constant focus and work on your skills. You need to be very disciplined and not lose motivation, losing many games in a row.
    It may also motivate someone, because a small or mid stakes professional poker player's annual salary would be between $ 25,000 per year and $ 500,000 per year if they play 5 days a week for 4-8 hours.
