What about health insurance? I wouldn’t ditch my crap job for even the ‘possibility’ of making 100k a year..even 200k...something happens and your effed..plus grinding sucks imo..poker to me should have soul and competition like Ed Norton says in rounders about grinding. But I do understand that grinding works for some people for sure, it’s all about balance imo what makes you happiest. Not at all knocking it, just not my bag at all.

Do you pay a high premium for health insurance?

I got an ear infection and the bill was 1280..I paid 20 bucks. Can’t imagine what a kidney stone would cost out of pocket, probably 60k.

Have a buddy that has lupis, showed me the statement for 1mil....he works at 7-11 for 12hr...and didn’t have/get insurance.

You have to be insane to want to be a pro poker player in America without getting contracted high paying insurance. If you leave the USA you can get away with it I guess, where healthcare is free/cheap and escape high insurance costs.
