Re: I Quit My Day Job
[ QUOTE ]
To make good money playing poker you must play/study long hours just as much if not more then a regular job. If you don't think playing multiple tables at once for 6 to 8 hours a day isn't exhausting, well my friend you are sadly mistaken.

Oh come on, I work 30 hours a week, and I'll be damned if I use a minute of my free time reading poker books. Sure, I enjoy the 2+2 community and talking hands here, but I don't "study poker" when not playing. I don't think I'm an exception to the rule. The rule is new players study, old players play. Sure, there is stress in this job, but it isn't like working in a fast-paced kitchen asked to do the job of 1.5 people. True, it is exhausting multi-tabling for 6-8 hours, but it is nothing like shoveling dirt, hauling wood, or busting ass behind the line in a kitchen. I "recover" in minutes from a poker session whereas it would take an hour or two to recover from one of the other jobs I've had.
