The best poker players in world go broke since its just a game of skill (sarcasm) and a lot of them need backers to enter into tourns every year.    Think about that.  The best players in the entire world have those problems.

How many of those great players from the boom that we saw on the TV are still going 10-15 years later? How many do you think will be going at 20? 30 years later?

How many developed gambling addictions or drug addictions?

Forget about those extremes, how about missing time away from family because they had to grind or go on the road for a tourn?

Or they finally realized they just got sick and tired of sitting in a chair for countless hours staring at a stupid screen or traveling to a casino??

Most people are signing up to sit in a chair whether live or online to play a game that has no guaranteed return, no benefits and most people after years of playing complain they can't even beat or dread playing freerollers and microlimits!! lol.

People only see the big pots on TV and youtube but don't see the negatives of the game.

They hear the ads for the latest and greatest poker system to make them winning players and years and years later they're still talking about some situational nonsense or looking for some magic formula to make them winning players. lol.

All I'm saying is keep your eyes wide open and don't get too excited on winning a lot or going on some magical fairy tale like Moneymaker or pick your favorite player's story to emulate.
