This advice comes from my own experience, from speaking to one of the best online players and the world and from coaching 2 poker players. THIS ADVICE IS FOR PRO PLAYERS ONLY, guys who are already making their living from poker, 99.9% of guys have no business playing poker. If you’re a pro, check out the video and the notes below to see how to make more money.
HOW TO MAKE MORE MONEY AS A PRO POKER PLAYER NOTES
-
Plug up your life leaks
-
Eat, train, and sleep like an athlete
-
Understand your cycles and manage expectations
-
Only play against garbage players if possible
-
Take ego out of the equation
-
Don’t play above your bankroll, you can’t afford the variance.
-
Triple down on winning games
-
Get rid of losing games
-
Let this be your mantra and write it everywhere: I won’t let my feelings cost me money
-
Be process oriented instead of results oriented
-
Long term thinking over short term thinking
-
Save your money, don’t spend, but also don’t worry about investing it
-
Do 1 hour of study a day
-
Do a 1 hour gameplay audit everyday – all your money is in the mistakes
-
Increase your output. If your hourly rate is 100 plus, the most profitable thing you can do is work more hours.
-
Get your money now. From every poker player I’ve talked with the money is less and the competition is stronger. Now is the time to grind.
-
Allow for no distractions and disruptions of your routine
-
Get your time zone right — focus your 8 hours a day on the most profitable time to play (even if that means playing at night)
-
Get your taxes right
-
Put effort into finding international skill arbitrage opportunities.
-
Focus only on poker, your best ROI is playing more poker or studying poker, not trying to build a side business. Worry about building a business when you can’t get any more poker money.
