Default Re: Please Study Maslow Before you Decide to \"Go Pro\"

Your post and link is very interesting.

There is a book published in 1982...
By David Hayano... an anthropologist...
After 10 years of observing the California pro poker culture.

"Poker Faces: The Life and Work of Professional Poker Players".

It addresses all the same issues...
In a scientific way.

Other than a bigger money pie...
And perhaps slightly higher social status of poker...
(Maybe someday almost like pro chess or even sports)...
I'll bet nothing much has changed...
Because one certain constant...
Is always human nature.
