From prison gambling to online poker... A bit of my story

[villa1306]

I started playing poker because of the difficult situation in my country. Previously, I was deprived of freedom because of the mistakes I made and being in that place, many of the things I had in there were thanks to gambling, because in reality I had no support from anyone on the street, only my mother, but the truth was that I didn't like to bother her, it was hard, but after knowing that luck accompanied me a little, I started betting there with fear many times because the consequences were serious if you didn't pay and you often went blind and ended up betting much more than you could afford, thank God, it was never my case, I always played. To win, although sometimes if I found myself in difficult situations I wouldn't stop until I put things in my favor, of course, there were no other games that I don't know if anyone knows I'm talking about Venezuela, the most common games were ajiley (card game something similar to poker), the park (similar to LUDO but much more exciting), billiards were also played, which was one of the games I could practice and play all my stay in that place I lived practically thanks to the bets that I repeat if I had lost my mind and lost much more than What I could afford would have been my situation very uncomfortable, not to mention terrifying, but well, thanks to that I got to know poker, I saw that I was doing well betting there and I thought I could do the same thing already in freedom, but honestly with poker I crashed if I won some money to pay for things from time to time, but I see living on it super difficult there if I won up to $100 in one night and I lost it in less than two hours wanting to do more the game is complicated, many say that it's easy but honestly, from my point of view, to live from that game As a professional it involves a lot of work and dedication, it's like a university career, I would say I don't know what you think, but I see it that way if it will be worth dedicating so much study and hours to the game.

It's very difficult to be able to live exclusively from poker without any other income.

If you want to live from poker you need to study and have coaching, otherwise you’ll lose more than you win, I recommend poker forums and poker schools wich they are a lot out of there nowadays.

Yes, of course I understand that. I'm just asking if it's really worth spending so much time on it.

Very few make a lot of profit. I you want to try I recommend get the beginner learning phase out the way with freerolls and only start with small stakes if you do not have a lot of money but if you do not have a lot gambling could be more likely to get you hooked for something better and be a risk.

If you study a lot there is a possibility to make more money but its not just studying, it's adapting your play the right way.

Muy pocos obtienen grandes ganancias. Si quieres probar, te recomiendo superar la fase de aprendizaje inicial con freerolls y comenzar solo con apuestas pequeñas si no tienes mucho dinero. Sin embargo, si no tienes mucho, el juego podría engancharte a algo mejor y ser un riesgo.

Si estudias mucho existe la posibilidad de ganar más dinero, pero no se trata sólo de estudiar, se trata de adaptar tu juego de la manera correcta.

I understand, yes, of course, and sometimes I see that at low limits, what you try to learn is rarely applied. At micro limits, there are mostly pure maniacs who play anything and the system helps them in the process.
