Professional poker players are more dedicated and well-focused on the game or should we say that they have an advantage when it comes to experience. Anyone could play poker but not anyone could be professional in it. It needs a further understanding of how to deal with the risks of this game and having a sense of responsibility at the same time. People prefer poker over other gambling games because its risk is more manageable than others.

When they want to learn to be a professional poker player, they must spend more time learning various poker lessons and how to control themselves. Becoming a professional poker player means that they can also earn money from the game while continuing to learn. It is not easy because they should prepare many things before becoming a professional poker player, especially the time that must be spent to become a professional. But all gambling games have risks and the size of these risks varies depending on several things.

I think that they do get over the psicological aspects very early or else they simply have to abandon. Most professionals take the game level to a point that is pure mathematics. In the same interview, she explained that during the game she just thinks of the money on the table as "firing power" or "fuel left" to be burned and decissions are purely intelectual.

Yes, that is the most correct and I think that this is the only way to see poker as one of the games that can be compared to chess, because it has a lot to do with its calculation, seeing poker in this way I think it is much deeper where emotions are left aside and it gives you that tranquility and peace of mind when playing, something very similar to when playing chess, the player does not think if he will win or lose, he only calculates each move and studies at least what he can do it in 3, 4, 5 or if I could see more moves, it's much better, I think that level of understanding refers, but to get there I think you need a lot of knowledge and experience.

A skilled poker player tends to win in the long run. There are only a few exceptions:

1) That he moves up levels and ends up playing at a level where he has no edge. Therefore, assuming he manages his bankroll well, he has to go down a level.
2) He is going through a bad psychological moment in his life, which leads to alcohol or drug consumption and that affects his gambling.
3) In the case of big tournaments played live, the variance can last for months or years without significant results. Thus there have been a few players who quit the modality or poker altogether.

But a winning NL100 SH player, settled at the level for years and who wins at 6bb/100h, and hasn't dabbled in alcohol or drugs is always going to win in the long run.

You are thinking of a professional poker player, but not all poker players are professional, so the one that wins on the long run is a guy like Phil Helmut or Daniel Negreanu or Phil Ivey. Of course, those people will always end up earning some money when they get in, hell they are offered entry fee by others, just to share the winning pot if they win, meaning they may not even have to pay for anything anymore, they either win something or win nothing but not even lose anything.

So, if I start gambling poker, I would be terrible at it, and would lose in the long run, but those famous poker players would win, there is a big big difference.

What you say is very interesting and it makes a lot of sense when we play poker in a tournament that is online, that is like an all against all, we do not know who we are playing against, if they are professional or not, but there is something that must be taken into account that we can be novices and we can face a poker professional who lives from poker, then this is something that is both fair and undeserved, just because we are all in ideal conditions, and it is not deserved when it is up to a player to face a professional because obviously the professional would win, although in cards and poker much depends on luck.
