You've set your mind on becoming a poker elite.

You're doing it, and you'll do whatever it takes to make it happen.

You don't have a bankroll, you'll start with freerolls from the CC community, so you have the big challenge of one day sitting at the same table as Negreanu, Phil Ivey, and other big names in this sport.

What are the biggest challenges for this to become a reality?

Well, let's go, we know that the basic thing to do is to start studying, studying, and studying, so set aside some time each day to put this into practice.

Besides this point here, you have a basic understanding of how the game works and its dynamics.

So you start doing everything you learned in the best possible way, and we have our first challenge ahead, variance, you follow what you learned to the letter, and are blocked by post-flop situations, then you realize that maybe the process is long, you start to build your bankroll but it happens slowly, you keep studying and evolving, the bankroll is not a problem initially when you can do it for free.

So the question arises, do you believe that this is a process that takes time, or you can achieve great results in a short period of time.

What are the biggest challenges when you are starting from scratch, the variation? Oh Bank?

What do you think it takes to reach these legends and be part of this universe.
Is it an easy task?

Leave your opinion.

Disconnection...4 times I have had pocket aces and the server disconnected before I could go all in...3 out of the 4 times, I made a small raise to trap opponents, only to lose the hand because I got tossed out.

I don't have a goal to become a poker elite. I don't have my head in the clouds and I look at things realistically. I think I have a better chance of going into space with Elon Musk than becoming the so-called ‘poker elite’.
My goal is just to make money to pay the bills. $1,000 or $2,000 a month is more than enough for me.
All I need is to be patient and move forward step by step.

I think for a regular player, with no special talents, it will take a lot of time. For me, anyone can study and have a medium to advance knowledge if you truly dedicate to poker study, the problem that nowadays the competition is tougher. The biggest challenge for me is to have a good poker mentality, always follow your bankroll management and don't let bad beats or bad results affect your play. If you already have a good mentality, you'll definitely will have more chances to have success.
