Compared to my old job at a movie theater, this is easy work.

Especially around the holidays. I had many 10 hour days and one day I worked over 13 hours! That whole time I was ripping and running, and had to be in four places at once. So looking at 4 tables is a piece of cake. Only thing that I don't like are the downswings, but not everything is perfect.

I'm not saying there aren't worse (or much worse) jobs than playing poker online. I'm just saying that online poker seems like a good way to make some extra money, but a not so good way to make a living. I live in Manhattan. Rents here aren't cheap. I just don't see being able to cover my nut "strictly" from online poker.

I agree. It is hard, especially if you don't have the talent to play high enough. I do think that playing live, one wouldn't burn out as quickly.
