But it is interesting how they describe on this website that players in poker went broke but some of them bounced back and are now back in business these days earning a lot of money. But the reason they are hiding is not that the players play so well and are professionals outplaying everyone, the reason is that most of these guys now have advertising contracts or are otherwise associated with platforms that guarantee them a certain income and probably participation fees in big tournaments. As you can see some of them would have gone broke if it wasn't for the Internet and social media to save their asses.

That means they can use the internet well so that it can help them recover from their defeat and turn their situation around. But they still have to be careful because greed will come back and if they don't learn self-control well, they might experience defeat like before. But with their experience playing poker, they will definitely be able to overcome all the problems that will arise and they can earn a certain income. Maybe they also learned something that we don't know so that they can return to the gambling industry and even have connections with other people who have supported them while they were hiding and continue to encourage them that they can return to gambling once they feel deep enough to learn everything.

But the message I was trying to convey here is that the professionals as they call themselves are not immune from going broke. More importantly, they could not stay rich with their "professional" activity and instead had to resort to a different business model, namely some affiliate, marketing, influencer type of business and not the activity itself. The bad part about it is that their job is to promote that activity AS IF it would make them rich in order to get as many people as possible onto the platforms as paying customers. I am sure you understand my point, don't you? And this is why it is so important to make up one's mind before deciding to become a "pro" and earn money with gambling.

Well, I have something very clear, and it is very similar to what I think about in trading, I say that a person considers it a professional both to a Jaguar and to a trader when he plays with close amounts or who manages amounts of $1M, the things They can be like that, and I consider them professionals, so when they are people like that who manage those amounts I consider them professionals, otherwise they can play all their lives and play every day if they want, but since they are not with those amounts or close to them, then for my it is normal, it is something that I consider that can be taken as a professional, and yes, it is not that we end up having that big money and we bet everything, no, but I think that for professional players as well as for novice players, things can be different, because in a game, we have to control our emotions, because personally, greed is very easy to fall into, the risk is always permanent in a casino.

A casino or other activity that we do will always be considered risky, in fact the mere fact that a person goes out on the street is already running a risk, the fact that a person is already playing in a casino is a higher risk, economically , so all these types of things are what we must see, if we play with greed, then the faster we will lose, we must have the desire to earn a lot of money, but according to our limits, our own abilities, because we cannot pretend that with 10, 20, 50, 100 USD we can take them to $10k, that is something that is almost Impossible, and if it can be done, it can be done, but it really is someone who has a lot to do to do it, in a casino things are not easy, every player knows it, you have to have a lot of confidence in what you do, there is no problem, On the other hand, we must see things as they are, with the appropriate way of being grounded in our reality and not looking back anymore, greed is never, risk is Always.
