Looking to become pro soon!

1) Please tell us how you started playing poker and what level you have now reached?

I have been playing only 4 months and last 2 months only an hour each evening, getting better each week, finally easily winning chips, building a stash!...at first going back for more free chips now gained over 100k, looking to be a pro soon, perhaps in a year or more?

2) Do you think players should learn just one poker variant at first or is it good to learn a little of each game?
How I did it was learn each game a bit and then going back to the easier types, then practicing them a lot, till I felt more comfortable, and could build a small stash to render learning another game! My favourite was Stud then I tried, and learned a bit … Omaha was not easy to learn and a coach is a must, I do think!!!

3) Please give three pieces of advice to any new or novice players who are just learning poker.
Learn to fold as 20 % of hands are winners…
Learn which hands are the good ones to bet on…
Bet if good or just fold them, since they are no good.

4) Question 4: Name some times when it is good to bluff in poker.
Bluffing is a last thing to learn but a bluff will knock out others that are not sure of themselves and then you may win as some players will be gone, but as in play money there is so many novices that bet on anything, so be careful!

5) How do you balance your work and family life with poker, and what do you do besides playing the game we have all come to love?
A good thing I had on my side was while folding I got to watch how the other players were playing, seeing the weak ones easily and then being able to go after them…then later seeing the stronger players , to stay away from…and a bit of poker at a time able to keep up with my chores was a must…there is many videos to watch also to help you learn!

6) Name some of the songs or artists who you enjoy to listen to before, during and after your poker sessions!!!
I like all new stuff as learning poker is new and new matches well with new energy
Ricky Astley seems to be the hit here in 2+2, I do not think I will get tired of him. Dancing after winning helps me and a pre-game dance helps bring on the over-whelming urge to win! The new techno music keeps my mind clear too, find your niche and do it well!!! guess my new favourite, lol
