I highly doubt this. Also note that if you're working in a supermarket all day you can take sick days or just be sort of out of it and as long as it's not a habit you won't lose your job and will still get the same pay. If you play a session of poker when you're out of it you cost yourself money. If you take a sick day you make no money. For every hour of playing poker it's probably equivalent to the effort/concentration of 3-4 hours at any other job at least assuming you're multitabling. Also you have to factor in study/hand review and stuff like that. Bottom line playing for a living isn't all it's cracked up to be. Not that it's all bad, the freedom/not having a boss/being able to play when you want is definitely a good thing, but a lot of people seem to have unrealistic expectations of what it's like. I'm playing for a living this year but unless I'm up a lot higher than I am now and making closer to a million a year there's no way I'd want to play it full time long-term. Much better to just keep playing it for extra money on top of a normal job.
