If you have 6 months of rent/expenses plus a poker bankroll, all of a sudden it's not a huge deal if you have a bad week and you can bounce back a lot easier. If you can win long-term, you are going to get paid. As much as I whine about running below ev, I know there will/have been days where I run hotter than the sun. Long-term if you have a poker bankroll plus expenses set aside the only time you don't get paid is if you don't play well. Neither is having to go into a day job and *having* to meet the deadline by Wednesday, get the report in to your boss, worry about meetings, etc. A day job isn't all fun and games, and usually it's quite boring (I know my mom has said she wishes she could just work steady through for 5 hours instead of what equates to like 5 hours of work and 3 hours of talking/lunch/socializing). Obviously poker as a hobby is more fun than poker as a job. But are you arguing that a 9-to-5 is more fun than poker as a job? If you've got the backup and the skillset, I'd argue you're wrong. The biggest benefit is that you can take a few days off while still going in and it won't affect your paycheck. Show up to work playing poker hungover, tired, just not in it, and your paycheck suffers. Other than that though I'm not sure I can find one thing better about a 9-to-5. Also note that nothing is guaranteed. My dad worked for the same company for 10+ years. Just last year they told him they still wanted him, but couldn't find him work to do, so he got laid off. Nothing is guaranteed. I'm not a tax professional but everything I've heard says this is wrong. Pretty sure there's no federal license. [/QUOTE]
