OK, what if a poker player does 11 dollar tournaments. Do U respect them?

Wat about 20 dollar tournaments?

20 dollar cash game buy in? 50? 100? 1000 dollar buy in?

What does it take to earn Ur respect?

You will earn respect as soon as you start posting your hands on boomplayer

folding more rivers

Pretty much this.

Serious answer probably around the $10K level in MTTS

Bout 500/$1000 in cash.

Play money

never, all players are scum

I respect poker players who are Braziliand and never give up.

I never respect another poker player. All other players are terrible except for me

Has to be at least 2 cheeseburgers

Just keep reloading. They will respect you eventually. I promise.

In cash games I respect any winning player at 5nl or higher.
In tournaments I have great respect for players that win a $0,25 spin & go.

I start off respecting all and it’s only when they say or ask stupid things confidently that it goes down the toilet. you seem like a confident man.

Why would you respect someone who gambles?

I respect poker players as much as I respect myself.

that's harsh

I am a long-time lurker here and have had the dream of playing professionally. Thanks to the many threads on the topic of going pro, I wisely chose to get a career and play in my spare time. My wife is not a big fan of my poker playing, so I don't get the chance to play often. She has been out of town for a few days, so I've had the chance to indulge my fantasy and have playing every night for the past 4 days. I have been playing tight, disciplined poker at a couple local card rooms and am up over $2k in about 20 hours of play at 8-16 and 20-40 limit hold'em. I have had a great time digging into my pretty extensive poker book collection in reviewing my play after each session. I have been shocked at how soft these games have been. It appears to me that all one needs to do to print money is follow to the letter Sklansky and Malmuth's advice from over 20 years ago in Hold'em Poker For Advanced Players. Other books that have precisely on point have been Barry Tanenbaum's Advanced Limit Hold'em Strategy and Borer, Mak, and Tanenabaum's Limit Hold'em: winning sort-handed strategies. FYI, these are all titles I picked up by lurking here on the forums. I have seen what appear to be a few pros in the 20-40 game who are applying the techniques and advice in these books, and have enjoyed watching them work. It makes me think that if I ever want to no longer be married, I could either play as a second job or take the plunge and go full time.

Too many sentences in that paragraph OP

Thread didn't deliver

Poker Goals & Challenges is a better subforum to document your journey, imo.

Unless you go busto, then please come to BBV and we will console you propper.

wow you're just like Mike McDermott

Anyone who plays stakes below me I don't respect. Anyone who plays stakes above me I do respect.

wow you're just like Mike McDermott

I like to think of myself as more like Joey Knish. Except that I had choices and I have chosen to have a career and a marriage rather than grinding.

I thought about posting there, but since I won't be taking much of journey, this seemed like the better place.

In my one week experiment, I played about 30 hours and won about $1500 at mostly 8-16 and 20-40 limit. I played decent and tight with a few mistakes along the way. It was fun sitting at tables of fish part of the time and at tables full of real grinders part of the time. I gutted the fish and held my own against the pros.

The point of my original post was a bit of brag about how just applying easily available knowledge is still a print money proposition in poker. Of course, anyone with any sense knows that the application is emotionally difficult, especially over the long haul.

This is where we sweep the random garbage under the rug.
