Dukula,

Thanks for the reply. You're pretty close here. To clarify a little, I don't consider people here to be complete strangers, as we correspond all the time and about topics that we have in common. I posted this story here as this is an internet gambling forum, and honestly I was expecting a few people would tell me about how great their life is since they quit work for poker. NOT ONE OF THOSE YET! If anyone was going to advise to keep playing, it woulda been here as of course none of the friends or family understand the difference between poker and casino gambling. Every single reply says "take the job." This leads me to believe that in the info I give initially, there must be something in there to cause concern among you poker players to advise against playing for a living. Even though I'm red hot right now and these past 3 months have been much happier times than the 2 years in the job before that... Oh well I would be a fool to pass this job up and like some have said, if it doesn't work out poker will still be there! Thanks again.
