Well... I look at it this way... For one, I beleive there are more broke artists out there then are broke poker players!!! At best it is very close, I have proven myself in the poker world and I am a winning player overall... I have made more money playing poker then I could ever make painting but with painting you don't risk so much of your money so it comes down to love.... I love poker, I love it so much that I can not even express in words how much I love what I do.... I'm not too sure if this online stuff is for me or not but live play.... Wow, it's my Disneyland!!! Plus painting is more of a hobby and the smell gives me a killer headach!!!
