I have been playing poker for quite a long time. I used to play with game chips never play with cash. Poker has been treating me very well. At some point, I thought about playing using cash game, and I wanted to try it using real money. To feel how’s the game like using real money.
So it took me some time to start playing with real money. I started playing online poker with the small amount to gain some experience. I did win few bucks from it. It was quite successful me for in this poker game.
I’d Learn A Lot From It
From then on, every time I play I will be using real money to play though, which seems to suit me a lot. I realised using real money is much better than with game chips. It gives me a sense of fear, confidence, emotion, and so on. Although, I did lose some money, but got better along the way, more insight into the game, etc.
So That Motivated Me To Continue…
I was able to make nice profits in a short time as I started with $10 buy-in in a room, and in the same room, I went up to almost $100 or more, with long playing hours. That convinced me I could make good money with poker, and the possibilities had to be even much better than this since I was still playing at really low stakes…
But the problem was I seemed to lose a lot of that money in the end… Did I play too loose or overconfident when I got a big stack? Was I lucky and did I think I was already that great because I made great profit, and kept on making mistakes, after those upswings?
I Think It’s A Combination Of All Those Things…
I won a lot in a period like a day, but lost it again sooner or later, and of course that frustrated me… But the surprising thing was that this pattern seemed to repeat itself later on, in a very similar way.
I was convinced that I could be a professional poker player, and the possibilities had to be much greater than this. But even then I couldn’t continue and keep those good results day after day… I didn’t want to give up.
At times I did get mad and frustrated on bad beats and bad luck because I thought I was so unlucky at times. But I still wanted to continue, thinking I also learned out of the hands that went wrong…
I Would Love To Be A Professional Poker Player, I Really Like The Game…
In poker, I had learned a lot such as strategic thinking, the learning and evolving. The fact is you can play it from wherever you live, at any time. That you are not dependent on other people or a boss, etc… I feel like I really need it, to give me the freedom I’m looking for in life.
I don’t want to give up that dream yet, thinking I really have the talent for this game, and already proven that I can do it, despite the losses…
But I can’t deny that it’s not really good for me if bad beats do get me mad, and my play might suffer under that too. Or the financial losses if I couldn’t get my earnings and positive balance stable… In my opinion, it’s easier to find that balance though when you play games, rather than tournaments. I also feel that there is more luck involved in tournaments…
I’ll try to keep poker as a hobby until I got better.
