It all depends what you see yourself doing, and what you enjoy. It doesn't sound too likely to be poker-related unless you are planning to write your own PokerTracker or have a bunch of things you want to do to your PT database that it can't do.

Will you enjoy it? Can't help you much there. Aaron says he loved it. It would bore me to tears: I preferred to get deeper into the theory than torture data sets, and never was overly keen on all the dozens of variations on (M)AN(C)OVA that are out there. All in all it sounds too much like what you'd be doing day after day if you got a job as a research analyst somewhere. Been there done that, and only did it as a way to support my research habit.
