Re: Profit or Fun?
Nothing wrong with playing poker as a fun hobby that shows some profit, as opposed to playing poker as a stressful second job (I'm assuming that poker is not your primary source of income).

They are basically the same hand. You aren't getting paid off with your flush because you need Qxs to call your pre-flop bet and hit the flush. How often is that going to happen?
