How to Be a Competitive Online Professional Poker Player

Online poker can be much more than a simple hobby you enjoy when you're bored at home or even the office. Many people, though, have made online poker more than just a hobby through the years. Some have used online poker as a way to begin a career playing poker and some have even used online poker as a way to enter the World Series of Poker. Here is how you can be a competitive online professional poker player.

Suggestions

  1. Begin by purchasing a computer with plenty of RAM and the ability to connect to the internet. You will also need to buy reliable and fast internet service. The last thing that you want as a professional online poker player is for your internet to fail or your computer to slow down while you're in the middle of a big hand during a tournament.
  2. Research different poker websites to find which are the best for you. Any online professional poker player does not simply use one website to play poker. It's important that you sign up on several different websites in order to get into different tournaments. Poker websites such as Poker Stars, Party Poker and Full Tilt Poker are all solid.
  3.  Start by playing in free poker tournaments on poker websites. This will help you get acclimated to the websites and the type of play found on the websites. While poker is poker everywhere, online poker isn't necessarily the same from site to site. Find out which website you prefer the most so that you can play on that one more often once you begin your professional online poker career. You should also search for free tournaments that actually offer cash prizes on these websites. This could be a great way to catapult your professional online poker career.
  4. Play in multiple tournaments at the same time every day. It may be confusing at first but this is a must if you want to be a professional online poker player. An online poker tournament can take numerous hours to finish and only playing one at a time will not make you enough money to have any kind of career. It is for this reason that you will need a computer with plenty of memory.
  5. Play online poker for anywhere between 8 and 14 hours (at least) per day. To be a competitive online poker player, you will need to make poker your job. Unless you are a natural, it will take you some time to adapt to the world of online poker. Playing whenever you possibly can is the best way to accumulate this experience.
  6. Join tournaments that offer prizes such as seats at bigger online tournaments and seats at in-person poker events. In the end, it is still the dream every online poker player to make it to the World Series of Poker. Many websites host tournaments which offer an opportunity for a player to earn a seat at the World Series of Poker or other large poker events around the world. If you can win of these tournaments, you have officially made it in the world of online poker.

Tip

  • Gambling is an addictive activity. Be honest with yourself. If you are not making progress, you need to reassess your decision to play poker professionally.
