I've been playing live poker since September,2004. I learn how to play poker at a friend's house. At first I had to learn how to play my hand. I wouldn't raise pre-flop. I would llimp in with power hands. I learn the hard way to raise with big hands.

i learned by getting on the internat and just learn the basic of the hands and so forth it was sort of hard to figure out for me but once i started playing it came to be that i can play this game maybe i will be a grat player one day have a fabulous day everyone

Live poker is a much different beast from online. Actually being able to see your opponents can make it a little easier to pick up tells. Also, you are more aware oof ehat's going on in the entire tournament as gain info about your opponents.

I personally would much rather play online or with a small group of friends in a live game, i 'm not into the whole casino or card room live games

I also learned it from a poker game and now I have started to play poker as a betting game and want to be professional in this game

I guess, only 2% of the player traffic can be considered as pros, and maybe less. That doesn't means that the 98% left are donks.
And being a pro poker player is not a choice but just the result of your journey into the poker world, IMO. It's a full time job, with all troubles that belongs to such job.
I'm not to become a pro, considering i have no sufficient skills to do it and i cannot manage my life to invest more time for learning/reading about poker than i already do.
Considering yourself a decent poker player with some experience of the felt, doesn't mean you'll be able to make a living with poker, so be careful and wise about your own possibilities.
Don't get blind.
