Every single pro complains that its stressful

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not saying that online-poker pro is for everybody...but I do want to address this point.
I have stated on several occasions that online-poker-pro is easily the LEAST stressful job that I've ever had...and it's not even close.
No attitude-prick boss hounding you about one thing or another. No phone-calls that need to be returned post-hasts. No pressure for overtime unless I feel like putting in more hours.

Online-poker-pro is not the end-all-be-all. I find it to be a bit boring in some ways even though I still enjoy it.
But stressful it does not need to be even with the income fluctuations.

This is a pretty good description of what it's like for me too. Sometimes it's boring, sometimes I can't wait to get on the tables. I always love to read and study poker though. If there is any stress caused by running bad, it's from the idea that maybe I just suck at poker and won't be able to keep moving up. Actually the stress comes from the idea that if this is true, I will have to go back and find a job working for some attitude-prick boss.
