Well it's legal to play poker, the executive can't simply enforce a law that doesn't exist. The UIGEA on the other hand is already on the books and the regs were to further enforce that bill.

Sorry I wasn't disagreeing with your OP, simply stating that although you're right, on the other hand if someone has thought this through it can be a good decision as well. Sounds like we agree on this :).

Another thing to note is that although if you have a steady paycheck you can probably get a loan, most banks wouldn't see poker as a steady income thus you'd have a tough time getting a loan.

But if you have money in the bank and in the bankroll, have a back-up plan if you fail, and don't have many dependents (not that dependents would stop you but I think you'd need more of a cushion if you have a spouse and/or children relying on you to pay the bills), and obviously are good enough at poker, I'd give it a shot. I am anyway, so maybe I'll change my mind in a few weeks. Just wanted to say that I know several online pros who love their job, love the freedom, and aren't worrying every month on whether they'll be able to pay rent. If you can do it and if you have the self-discipline (because there's no boss, you've gotta encourage yourself), I think it can be a great job. But I agree definitely consider the things mentioned in the OP before just deciding one day that work sucks and you want to play poker.
