While I agree that there is no sense is praising "YOU CAN DO IT!", there is also something in between the extremes. He shouldn't be saying "YOU CAN DO IT!", but nor should he be saying "YOU CAN'T DO IT!". Who the heck is he to say? Just bugs me out that he has that approach to risky choices in life.

And it's just silly to claim that the top pros make $20 an hour and that there is no money to be made in poker.

But for the ones not willing to give up a lot of time and for those who don't want to devote a lot of time to poker, analysis of poker and studies will sure have a tough time reaching anywhere. But as I stated before this goes for everything in life.

There are a few kinds of people. The ones who follow the safe path and get a lower salary. And the ones who risk a lot to get a bigger salary. Both of these are needed for a society to work. And I'm simply one of those chaps who won't give up on something potentially great due to there being a risk of not acheiving it.
