There are probably one thousand questions you need to ask yourself before you decide to become a poker pro. Everybody wants to enjoy freedom, poker and travel the world. However, you should seriously ask yourself: is this live? Am I financially ready for such a big step? Do I have a backup plan on hand in case it all goes wrong?

The first step is to build a good bankroll. You can do this by taking advantage of possible bonuses. Poker rooms often offer free money to people who deposit money for the first time on the site. You should really use this to your advantage. Remember that nothing stops you from taking advantage of bonus offers at different sites.

If are still keen on starting a poker career, than you it is recommendable to keep your day job and play poker in the evenings/nights. Also, try to read as much about poker as you can. Your goal is to build up a sufficient bankroll so that you eventually can quit your job.

If your financial affairs in order, you need to ask yourself what kind of person you are. Can you cope well with the uncertainty? Do you have enough guts to gamble the right moment? If you are in doubt, then professional poker may not be your destiny.
