Forget about being a pro Online.
Live Poker will be the only option with all the bots, collusion, and RTA that is going on.
Can you still win some money Online? Sure, but very, very few people see online poker as a career opportunity unless you live in a very poor and cheap third-world country.
And as the saying goes, Poker is a hard way to earn an easy living. If you have any sort of mental talent, you can probably earn much more money in other occupations.

Start with freerolls. Of course, you won't be able to become a professional thanks to them, but for the first time it will be a good option and, most importantly, without risking your wallet

To be a pro you need to work on and study alot of the game of poker. Once done you will need to do it again and again. If you want to become one do remember poker is a hard way to make a easy living.

Becoming a poker pro requires mastering the game’s strategy, emotional discipline, and bankroll management, along with consistent study, practice, and experience against skilled opponents. Try playing freeroll to gain the confidence.

Besides being extremely skillfull during years of playing and constantly studying the game, you need a substantial bankroll. To go pro online you must at least have $100.000. And even with this amount it would be a tall order to be an online pro. So many want to go pro and so many go broke. Seen it time after time. Poker is raw capitalism and dirty warfare. Are you game?

Here's a simple but true thought about the daily life of a professional poker player: being a poker player is a terrifying job. If you've ever wanted to become a poker pro because you didn't like your job, hated sitting at your desk (or machine) for hours, and thought that clicking away at a computer mouse would require far less effort, you're in for a sore disappointment. While poker isn't physically tiring, being a professional poker player is far more stressful than someone who has a "regular job."You need to create an area in your home that is dedicated exclusively to poker. This could be a desk with a computer in the corner of your living room (like mine), or even better, a separate “office” where you can completely dedicate yourself to the game. If you are currently playing poker with a laptop on your lap and one eye on the TV, you simply won’t be able to play your best – there are too many things to distract you. Having a dedicated “poker space” will allow you to start taking the game seriously and focus on your actions.

While you are studying, you will need to invest a lot of money in your studies. You can't do anything without money. You'll have to spend money on tournaments. So think about where you'll get a lot of money. If you think you're going to make money while studying poker, you're doomed to failure.

Best thing you can do is find a job (hopefully something with job security) and get some education so you can learn about the world and improve yourself.
Once you get tbat and can support yourself then try playing online or live part time where you show up or log in at regular times and see what your results are after about 2 years of frequent consistent play.
Then if you can earn more playing than your job then decide whether to do it full time.
You really need a fallback plan in case things don't go your way because regardless of the poker game or format, you're going to spend a lot of time playing or studying and you don't want to be thinking this was a big mistake or wasted time when the unlucky streak comes and you need to pay bills.
