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.
Right, but the problem is that we can't verify whether they are managing a lot of money. There is also the slogan "fake it till you make it", which has become very popular and prevalent especially since social networks like Instagram went through the roof. So if someone is a professional poker player because he plays all these big tournaments, but is sponsored and doesn't pay for it neither wins any big tournaments in a long time, I find it very difficult to tell whether that person is considered a professional. There are pros and cons, but seriously quite a lot of cons, which I think is a problematic as they carry a different message to the public.
I am just saying this because people shouldn't get deluded, but instead read into some basic statistics and find out for themselves whether they believe they can "professionalize" a game of luck for themselves.
