[GMan42]

I agree wholeheartedly about looking at the long-term. In my case, it's not a career I'd mind doing for the next 30 years or so if someone could guarantee internet poker would still be around. However, the fact that Congress could turn around tomorrow and decide to go after online gambling makes this a very risky proposition. Last thing I'd want to do is have to start spending 8 hrs/day at a B&M cardroom, or try desperately to explain a several-year "gap" in my employment while groveling for another 9-5 job. I'm pretty happy making poker a 2nd income that I'd be disappointed, but not crushed, to lose.
