Default Re: What advice would you give to someone recently playing for a living?

Hello! being a pro is ups and downs. You can earn a lot of money very fast but you can also lose them. In my opinion a lot of people playing for high stakes, having more money now than ever before, will soon loose it. Its definitely not wrong to take a shot on being pro but never forget that you might loose a lot if you play above your bakroll, of which im sure almost everybody does. So my advise to you when everything is going well is: DONT THINK YOU ARE THE BEST POKER PLAYER EVER. NEVER RISK YOUR BANKROLL. As long as you dont forget this you will probably not do yourself any harm.

If you become an online pro dont forget that its other things to life than poker. Try to socialise and meet people because you are cut of from society if you dont go to a job or in your case university. It might sound obvious but it is definitely affecting your mental health to cut yourself of from the real world. Good luck
