Message: [QUOTE="Canaveral, post: 5142543, member: 392143"] [b]It's a Hobby[/b] I have a taxing full-time job working at least 60 hours per week. To make a living at poker, it obviously requires full-time commitment. My job pays me unconditionally. Poker does not. I might work at poker full-time and win, and I might lose. To use the poker parlance, that's not +EV. So, if I make enough at poker to take a daycation, or buy the wife some clothes, great. If I lose, fine, golf would have cost me more money as a hobby. I would never make poker a vocation unless I had no other marketable skill that paid well or if I were wealthy. Honestly, if you look at most professional poker players, and I know there are exceptions, they probably either don't have a well-paying marketable skill outside of poker, or they have already made their money.
