Default my 2 cents

I admire anyone that has the balls to do this for a living......
I personally could never do it for a living. Even if I became a great poker player I couldnt give up all the benifits I have at work and I cant see myself haveing to win at poker in order to eat. That is just too much stress to put on me. I totally respect you for this and wish you the best and if anyone else is doing this for a living or is going to I wish you luck.

Well, I'm flattered, but what I'll probably end up doing is taking the 'coward's way out': find a job close to home at about 30hr/wk, then make up the difference where I can. The problem is that I'm still in a bit of a funk after the crash, hit my head pretty good. The doctor called it 'post-concussion syndrome', though I was never officially diagnosed with a concussion (on the other hand, the emergency room mysteriously forgot to CAT scan my head until I went back 3 days later ). So I'm really not in prime 'pound the pavement' condition at the moment, at the bare minimum I was hoping to be able to make enough to live on for a couple months or so while trying to get back in shape and all.

The only way I make poker my "living" is when I no longer need money, and just win it as a hobby
