when money at the job just doesnt matter...

Well if you read what most pros around here say, they absolutely can't put in 40 hours a week every week. I'd say the normal is 20-30 hours. So your "part-time" right now would be pretty close to what your "I quit my job now I'm a pro" full-time poker wins would be. Don't forget you'll lose all your benes.

Very true but don't forget that even if the pros only 'work' for 20 hrs a week they still have the extra 40-50 hrs to themselves to do whatever they want and not slaving away. I think for a lot of pros, the freedom is more important than the money. If they wanted money they'd play all day.
