There are a few things you need to play at a pro level…one, lots of cash(that doesnt dip into your budget) on the side, skill, some luck, and above all, believing in yourself, discipline and patience. It takes YEARS to gain discipline and patience. And i hate to say this next thing… 5% of poker players actually make a living at poker. To live comfortably, you will have to play at $3,000 NL(15/30 stakes.)
