[SIZE=2][FONT=Verdana]The author begins with a rather hackneyed aphorism as a sub-title and offers not much else than his opinion and reguritation of the links insesrted into the article.  He makes emphasis on being a successful poker player but does not lay out any criteria of what a successful player is.  According to this author, some one making a living at poker is not a successful player.  I can only conclude that he is some what star struck.  That unless your name is a household word you are not a professional.  
We are asked to "take it (the wisdom/information) from somone who has succeeded in playing professionally for two years"  who's credentials other than some vague claims he (emphasis on 'he' ) makes  but who fails to put his name to the article so that one may verify the article's  validity and  authority.
My opinion on the matter is  that playing poker for a living is a lot like acting for a living; you must be very,very passionate about your work.   
I conclude with this anecdote.  I came to know an actor  who frequented an undergroud poker game I played at.  He had a major support role in a TV series called "Nikita" and a few years later a lead roll in a spin off from the series.  He was from LA but the show was produced and filmed in Toronto. He once said that there were probably only 1% of all actors who had full time jobs in the industry.
