I would shoot myself if I made $20 a hour at poker, it's SUPER EASY to make over $50 a hour, and not too hard to cross the $100 a hour mark.

Yeah, I'm in this camp as well. See, your $20/hour isn't even really $20. You aren't paying taxes, so you aren't adding to your social security. You also aren't getting benefits, which would also be included in that figure if you had a regular job. And aside from all that, you can even add variables like you probably aren't working 40hrs/week and the risk that you get popped for tax evasion. To me, $20/hr before taxes at poker is right on par with about $10/hr fulltime at a real job. Which is crap.
