Re: Value of the \"profession,\" bereft?
Sorry, got a bit off topic, there.
Value as a profession, IMO, same as other Professional Sports, entertainment value. WPT events are televised so it has become a spectator event and it has idols that "we aspire to become like" or are on the pedestal for our admiration, analysis and/or criticism.
As before, usually difficult to justify the merits of the game in general to non-poker players, giving it merits as a profession, now that's a tough one.
