Message: [QUOTE="One9Design, post: 1025609, member: 47842"] Having friends that do freelance work, many of the same concerns they have exist in the life of a full time poker player. Being smart financially and have a reserve is not unique to being a poker player. No one's job is completely secure. Especially in the current economic conditions. What poker does afford you that a 9 to 5 does not, is more control over your destiny. No one can stop you from playing if you want to. The opportunity to make money is always there. You don't need a client or a customer. With that said your skills will have a direct impact on your success. (This is not always true at the "normal" job") Admittedly people need to think seriously before making major life changes. But I doubt full time poker really presents a unique set of circumstances. Just my take. [/QUOTE]
