Talented poker players acquire their skill from thousands upon thousands of hands of experience such as playing for practice online. If you continue to play poker with discipline and an open mind, your chances of playing to others is a big advantage.

Poker players with that skill and experience are probably minority smaller than 1% of all poker player base. I know some poker players who are playing for 10+ years an are not even close to the tournament level.
It is more like personal skill and you can't learn it even if you spend your whole life on it.

It is very difficult to be a professional poker player. Most people cannot live on playing poker. Maybe 1% of poker player can live on that. 1 professional poker player lives on 99 non professional ones.
Not many people can learn the skill to play poker profitably.
