![]() I'm a poker player who has played live high stakes omaha for a long time. If your back is already against the wall financially poker is going to be extremely stressful and more difficult to succeed at. ![]() There are a couple things that would make your life a lot easier if you decided to do it, the first one being having a spouse who's job can provide health insurance (self employed health insurance is grossly expensive) and the second one being already having a very healthy net worth. Ultimately it's up to you though to decide if the potential positives outweigh the likely negatives. But with a declining poker economy idk if the positives outweigh the negatives for most people at this point other than those whose alternative is working a super ****ty job that doesn't pay well and has no advancement possibility. It also comes with some positives like the immense freedom in your day to day schedule (assuming you are grinding with a comfortable net worth and not depending on having good results constantly in order to get by). ![]() But the thing with poker is that it comes with additional downsides that most other jobs don't. And then doing anything repetitively is also going to get boring after awhile and you naturally will become less passionate about it. Anything when you are depending on it for your livelihood is going to be inherently more stressful and take a lot of the fun out of it. ![]() Do you think that hold true for doing anything you love professionally, or just poker? ![]()
