What looks more fun? Being a professional sportsman or professional poker player?
Many people now call themselves professional athletes. I'll just say it's fashionable. But no one understands that a professional athlete is a person who plays sports in life, who glorifies his country, his family and friends.

I think both options are good. But I would also rather be an athlete than a poker player. After I finish my sports career, nothing will stop me from becoming a poker player. But after my poker career is over, I don't think I'll be able to become a professional athlete.havingfun said:

I would prefer sports because you're not stuck in front of a computer all day but with a caveat - some sports such as American football are ruinous to your health. Lots of former NFL players out there with severe brain damage from repeated concussions.

By far, being a pro athlete is the better choice. Particularly, maybe a bench player who makes a guaranteed minimum $200k annually playing on a team as a substitute, or otherwise Top 25 but not Top 5 so you could make all the money without the drama. You get to be paid to be healthy and in your best physical condition.

Grinding away hours and days staring at cards or images of cards to ... mostly lose, until the luck works again for a moment. Dealing with withdrawal and stress.
