Message: [QUOTE="Pokerstudy, post: 5757681, member: 433356"] That and I personally couldn’t concentrate if I relied on cards to make a living, Chris Moneymaker won the WSOP and went right back to his job. I would only quit if I was at some kind of unique celebrity status where I could sell books or TV appearances to hock a product lol or make great enough money prior with investments where money wasn’t an issue. There are very smart business minded people that can do that, but as for cards only? I wouldn’t quit my job for healthcare reasons alone for under 200k a year (and then of course you pay for quality healthcare) It is just a non-reality to me. Honestly most “gamblers” I have ever met in life live in tiny boxes..constantly struggling. I am not saying it can’t be done, but it is a mirage to think it’s some easy money..there is nothing glamorous about living off of poker IMO. The balance should be love the game and love having full stability, again this is my opinion and each person sees things very differently. Also, I have been acquaintances/friends with some huge celebrities working in entertainment in my past and Jesus the problems they have has made me never want to reach a level of fame like that. I suppose in poker you could find yourself only playing high stake cash games and stay on the low, but I doubt you could ever really make fantastic money on the low, but perhaps it is being done. I love the game, and want to make just enough money to enjoy life and avoid all the other stress and BS that can come with “big” money/fame. On a scale of 1/10 of poker success I want to be at a 5..more like 4.6 lol [/QUOTE]
