Message: [QUOTE="DukeDrew, post: 523241, member: 11092"] >> Of course, I miss out on some stuff like coworkers, paid leave, pension, free coffee (not that the coffee machines at work are so great, but still!) and, of course, a stable income Fred, you're understating the value of going to work in your underwear every day. I'd trade that for a free cup of coffee any day of the week. Especially when you consider the chances of finding a job that offers a pension these days... I'd be more concerned about revenue growth, as opposed to maintaining $5k a month. $5k a month is great when you're 25; try raising a family on that. I considered the farse of poker as a supplementary income by playing at night, especially on the weekends and realized that in the long run, my time was much better spent with my family or doing work stuff and continuing to get ahead there. Also, think of WHEN you're going to be playing. I'm guessing most of the people that post here can go onto FT or PS and rock it on Friday night. What about Tuesday in the middle of the day? You're not going to hit 30k hands a month by playing on the weekend evenings only, and it's a different world on a weekday, especially as the money increases. Finally, think of me. I had this donk on the ropes last night for $60. He raised pre-flop on the button, I called. T44 on the board, I've got top pair and a flush draw. I bet hard and he raises - I'm convinced he's trying to bluff. He wouldn't have raised me with 4/anything, and I really didn't think he had an over pair. We're all in and he flips over QQ. Outplayed. And then the flush hit on the river. One can only wonder how many pieces his keyboard is in and whether or not he'll be able to pull his mouse out of the wall. And that's at .25/.50 no limit.
