I think sometimes because poker is a 'game' rather than a career/job, many players tend to think that anyone can learn it and master it. While to an extent this is true, the best poker players are no different to the best doctors or the best salesmen or the best manager.

While of course they put loads of work in away from the tables, they also just have a great aptitude for it, natural talent, for the maths or reading players, or picking up tells and retaining all this info, maybe they are naturally calm and don't let any bad beats affect the rest of their session.

Now of course we can all improve in these areas, if you're naturally gifted in any of these areas, or multiple, then being great at poker will be much easier. Just like I can't be a pro footballer, it doesn't matter if I went to soccer schools from5 years old and had the best coaching, I'm simply not talented enough.

Now, I'm not saying this is you, but I am saying that some perspective is often needed when trying to be at the top of anthng you do in life!! Sometimes its just not possible.

You made some great points, as did many others, but also maybe you need to re frame your expectations of poker.

Its not actually that hard to make small amounts of money, part time in your free time. Moving on from that posistion is much harder though.
