Why it's yet another doom and gloom article about the perils of a professional poker career! Can someone please explain to me why these tired points need to be rehashed for the 145,000th consecutive time? Okay. Being a professional poker player sucks. In terms of job satisfaction it ranks right below mopping up sperm at the local adult bookstore for $4 per hour. I get it.

That said, many of us, insanely, are attempting to play professionally anyway. It's hard for me to see whose interest it serves to repeat the same depressing information over and over again when maintaining optimism is such a crucial and often difficult part of beginning a professional poker career.
