| To become a professional poker player you
should know your game backwards, inside and out. There must
be no stone unturned in your knowledge and you must have a
hunger to keep learning. It is like any job, to be the best
at what you do you need to do what everyone else does and more. |
|
| Read books on poker, watch the pros on television,
ask questions of the better players at your tables, never stop
learning. The answer regarding knowledge requirements is that
you never know enough. |
| It is only a weak player or someone who
is not getting their full potential out of their game
who thinks they know it all. You can always improve your game
whether through the technical or mental side. A professional
poker player will be always looking to get more of an edge
over their opponents. |
|
| Things to keep up to date on are |
| Use software to track your opponents online.
Software such as Pokertracker will do this for you. See our
poker software section |
| Make sure a new software has not come out
that your opponents are using |
| Read books on poker theory and also on spiritual
things to help your mental approach |
| Monitor your own play regularly |
