For me one critical point is missing: In tournaments most decisions are made preflop or at the flop. It is rare that play at turn or river is decisive. In cash games it is quite the opposite. Turn and river play becomes very important, and being able to play all streets well is crucial.

each player can choose what to play, it can be tournament or cash, I really like both modalities, I always try to play two cash tables and 3 tournament tables, I love it.

geseco12 if you want to become a professional, choose one variety that suits you best and to which you are predisposed. Because if you combine several variations and play them at once, you won't be good enough in any of them to be a professional... I would also suggest you choose either cash or tournaments or another variation that you like and in which you feel best...

I like to play poker but i can't concentrate too much because the players play very chaotically and quickly. Poker is not like in the past because of these chaotic players and i can not do nice games...

a question, with poker I generate almost 300 to 400 dollars a month, but I still don't consider myself a professional player, the question would be at what level can I consider myself a professional player even if I don't only live from poker.

I would like to try something from January. I have 208 dollars in a poker room and i want to play 100 games or 200 but only in the same tournament every day. I don't know if i'm that ambitious, but i hope i'll be able to make an in-the-money calculation...

It depends on how much you can generate with poker per month, that will depend on whether you want to advance or not, it is a game that I love, plus the cash is my favorite.

so far dule.vu is always spamming and not commenting on the news, so far we don't know what mode he plays in poker, or maybe he is just a bot, hopefully he can change his comments into something good.

Do you think that accumulating points is 50 dollars for 3 months, do you think that is making money, making money in poker is more than 1000 dollars a month, but of course it seems that you don't play poker and you comment without knowing anything.

I do it because it does not take me more than 10 minutes of my time, and I am always aware of the news about the games worldwide, that does not take anything away, but I think that explaining to you is like explaining to a 2 year old child, I hope you play poker so you can face me in an online game.
