The obstacles
- one's mental ability
-  How driven a person is

The fact is, there ARE people who are currently earning a living from playing online poker... in both Tournaments & CashGames.   People who suggest otherwise don't seem to be aware of the current situation.

Of course it is nothing like it was 15years ago.   Things changed dramatically after 'Black Friday' when USA players were no longer able to play on tables with ROW (rest of World) players.   More information has become available for players, making it potentially much easier to get better at the game.

People who suggest it just takes having more money so you're able to play in higher buyins do not know what they are talking about.    If a person is good at the game, they will be able to build a bankroll and move up in buyins.   ALSO, they will be able to apply for assistance via a staking deal once they have a proven track record.

Most newer (new'ish') players VASTLY overestimate their playing ability (they aren't good enough at the game to even realize that they aren't that good at the game).  This is 'normal' for the game of poker.   A typical example for a player who has been playing for ~2 years....  1 year ago they probably considered themself to be good at the game but looking back now, they can see how bad they actually were.

When a person gets better at this game they will see just how much more there is to learn (it goes far, far beyond what you can imagine today).

If you want to get better at this game...  What are you doing in order to achieve this?
