Realizing that you have to do

Realizing that you have to do close to your best effort to get a shot, asking yourself questions like are you willing to put in the work it takes to get good? If willing to put in the hours you will need to get a grip on mental game, managing it takes alot of work and i personally have to motivate myself every day. Being involved in the community and talking to regfriends is great, music, occasionally i will even meditate with my lil sister and do ANYTHING i can to get focused in general.And i think one of the most important factors allowing me to put in "pro hours" (20h+/weeks) for me was realizing i was not going to go broke playing the game. Time before breaking even i used to spend on reading and study more, i think it was a good decision to learn alot of theory while maintaining somewhat decent volume in start.Finding a way to put in the hours, boils down to discipline, willingness to sacrifice and guts. There is no excuse not to play alot of poker if poker is what you want to make your profession.gl lol
