Poker has a long history of featuring incredible players and experts in the game. Knowledge about great players can be easily accessed through books, videos, or poker classes. Find inspiration from successful people to show that you too can achieve it.

Start with "Little Green Book" by Phil Gordon or "Super System II" by Doyle Brunson. You'll find some aspects of the game that haven't been thought of before.

However, beware of scammy poker sites that try to get your money by providing unhelpful content, especially if you're already a good player. Do your research before buying something to make sure you're getting something legitimate.

If you know some great poker players who can teach you, then learn from them. Having a poker coach (even when you're already good enough) can dramatically improve your gameplay. You'll gain benefits by learning something new and they'll get benefits from teaching someone they care about. This is a mutually beneficial condition.

As you learn in local casinos and gaming rooms, find and join bigger tournaments. Although that's the case, take it slow and think realistically about your financial and skill conditions. In real life, slow and stable players win tournaments.

At this stage, you should have hundreds of connections that can help you get information about the poker world. Do online research, register for newsletters, and keep in touch with people who often participate in tournaments and exciting games for you.

After you have enough money to live on and are sure you can continue to be rich, it's time to leave your 9-to-5 job. However, remember: now you need to play poker. Playing poker becomes your only option. Your bets will be higher than before. Although that's the case, this might develop your game.

Try to take other opportunities when you become a professional player, such as teaching, writing books, or starting a website. With that, poker becomes your life, but you don't have to play 40 hours in one week and always win. Even though you're a professional poker player, life can still be stressful.

Warning

Don't gamble with money you don't own. Always stop playing whenever you need to stop.
