Whats the deal with all these going pro articles acting as if poker is going to enslave you. If you play 10+ hours a day, have no social life, and are an overweight smoking alcoholic, that is because of choices YOU made not poker. Join a gym, do some volunteer work, spend more time with friends/family. To me the most appealing thing about going pro is the fact that it would give me more free time to do the things that I want to do. Working 9-5 sucks no matter how you cut it.
