India is on the verge of a poker boom with more and more players entering the poker world and national level events and legal gaming rooms setting a new trend in the country.
Poker is today the game of the youth who find it fun, interesting and an easy way to make money. Since, the game is all about logic and skills, the generation feels more confident in putting their cards on the table and take a chance on the glamorous lifestyle of poker players. So, what are the amazing things about poker players that are luring the youth of the country?
Travel
One of the things about poker players is that they travel. Whether it is for playing different poker tournaments or enjoying the glitz of the live casinos, it definitely comes with its own ‘kick’. The travel is of course not like a regular business travel where you attend meetings and then take the next flight back home. These are big ticket travel where you meet professional poker players across the world, be a part of the excitement and glamour of the casinos and enjoy the heat of high cash transactions.
New opportunities
With the growth of opportunities, new and more players are emerging to play poker. These are just not amateur players who give it a try on Diwali but the smart generation of today who is giving up its convectional and lucrative career to play poker professionally.
It’s glamorous but hard work as well
When you are playing poker professionally, you are playing high stakes for long hours of time. You need the mental strength and the energy levels to match the hectic pace. You are bound to meet businessmen, big shot celebrities and even international poker players. So, you’ll always be running from one place to the other and playing it out. So yes, you get to meet the rich and the famous, but the hard work follows.
Enjoying the poker fever
One of the biggest challenges in professional poker playing is maintaining the lifestyle. Just like you get highs, there are lows as well. You may be winning games after games and push your lifestyle to a mark that would be difficult to maintain. It is great to enjoy the poker fever and push up your lifestyle as well, but bankroll management needs to be done. It is not only important for your game, but also for your family. Without a regular salary coming in at the end of every month, you need to always push aside some money for the time, when you hit the low in the game.
Beyond the cash and the car
Poker in India is growing and now almost all major cities have professional poker players who are setting new benchmarks for emerging poker enthusiasts. There are also different online poker rooms where you can prove your mettle. Before, you decide to take poker professionally, dig deeper into the game. See, beyond the glitz and trendy lifestyles of these players. Other than the awesome cars and the loads of cash, all professional players have one common thing… their freedom. They are no longer bounded by a regular job, they choose when you work and with whom to work and they do what they like. But with decision comes responsibility. So, on one hand you have enough money to live the lifestyle you want on the other hand the responsibility to balance your life out. If you feel, you are up for the challenge then give it your best shot.
All the best and have fun playing poker .
