You said "known tournament players" not "poker pros". And your original post didn't mention anything about "poker pros". I assume if they're "poker pros" then their occupation is poker. I was just using your same criteria of "known tournament players" in that occupation implying it was a "common occupation" for poker players.

An architect understands numbers, dealing with failure (investing $ and time into design competitions and losing), selling ideas of grandeur to a table of people, understanding proportions (pot size to your stack size to villains stack size), occasionally having to work 24 hours straight on a design charette (mental stamina), and most importantly, being creative.

There do not seem to be a lot of successful architects as poker players but I know Noli Francisco is one.

I am locking this thread since it provides nothing and is going nowhere.
