Firstly thanks for reading all that.

I didn't mean they were deliberately chasing away the multi-tabling sharks, but would it not be a bad play for a good player to forego RB if that amounts a couple of K a month guaranteed??

I'm sure Poker, as a profession is very stressful and if good old varience hits in for maybe 2 bad months in a row, at least they'll still have this guaranteed income, I know if I was playing professionally I'd want this safety net, if even just to cover expenses?? Although I'm not sure how certain income is from playing professionally. would a bad month be only winning 50% of your (very rough and guideline) target???
I know about not setting monetary targets, but surely you have a baseline amount you need to earn each month??
