I hope you will ask the younger posters that know what they are doing.

Funny that the average age of what you consider the "younger" posters here is ~15 years older than the average poster here....

Course, you DO have seniority on Methuselah, so who am I to quibble.

Daliman- 15 years older than the average poster here himself.

Poker is hard but so is corporate America. So is running a business. If poker were easy then it wouldn't be so interesting and we couldn't get the edge that we do. It also wouldn't be as motivating to learn the game better. But yes, poker is hard. At least there's no boss, at least you don't have to play some political game to step on anybody, and at least you don't have to have connections or be part of any family or specific ethnic group to become highly successful.

In some ways that is true and its a great thing about poker, that the only discrimantory factor from any "public" game is money, anybody with the money can play. As far as "satalite" poker income goes though (writing artciles, books, poker products, coaching, etc.) poker is just like any other business in that respect.
