I believe poker is a kind of gambling, I cannot get involved with gambling as a way to make money, I cannot take it as a profession. I can play for fun and entertainment but not as a profession. What about you, can you play poker as a profession? Can you generate stable income as a poker player?
 
I play good enough to win more than I lose. I do believe I'm skilled enough to play professionally, but I'm not at that stage in my life.

I'm not sure if I'd ever want to rely on playing poker to pay my bills. It would create a lot of stress for myself. I prefer to play a more relaxed game, and I enjoy my wins more when I don't have any added pressure.
 
It’s very possible to become a professional poker player. I can categorise poker as a skill-based profession. I still believe that with dedication and the right strategy, it's very possible to generate a stable income from it. Because I've seen players make a living playing poker for years.
 
Yes, always want to be a professional player but I need more than a skill to become a poker professional. I need the spirit of entrepreneurship as well and of course some level of luck. Poker is definitely not for everyone but for those who are willing to invest time and energy, poker can offer financial freedom.
 
I cannot be a professional poker player because I choose not to pursue that path. Poker is a form of gambling, and I am aware of my tendencies. At times, I can become obsessed with some things, and if I were to develop an addiction to poker, it could lead to negative consequences. Instead, I prefer to work online to earn money. Hehe

Such a decision demonstrates a great self-awareness and maturity. It is vital to identify addiction possibilities which become important while playing poker or any other addictive game. Taking steps to protect yourself is very crucial.
 
Nah I don't think I could ever become a professional poker player. I'm afraid I might get too far into gambling and end up losing more money than earning.
