Taking First Step Into Your First Career

My first real job in the United States was washing dishes for $5/hr during my summer vacation while I was in high school. It was physically very hard and but I managed to buy myself my first car afterwards which is what I am driving and paid about 2k =). I was never happy with my with job but having consistent cashflow for what I had done was certainly rewarding experience.

If you want to become professional on poker, you have to understand and perceive that not everyone reached to that point from the ground up. I started with a bankroll of $50 or $100, deposited into Pokerstars, lost a couple occasions then tried again with my last $100 and I have never looked back ever since. I saw people playing levels like $25/50 with like $100,000 on the stakes and was surprised how quickly they can throw money like that but you have to understand that you are getting there.

Detach yourself from other players or friends who are doing well or who is playing higher and make more money. Also, please be aware that they have worked their way up to that point and it didn't just suddenly happen and change their situation.

What you need to understand and perceive everyday is that you are making a very baby step into that whenever you grinding, it doesn't really matter what stakes you play and etc. Just relax yourself and focus on the game. Money should be just your way of keeping score. The reason for me to say that to you is because you already know how to play your best and you are already solid player and the reason for this blog is not to discuss how to play your aces to get the maximum value out of your hand.
