I have to agree that was a great post. I think alot of poker addicts dream of making it big and becoming a pro.. The reality of it is quite clear.. You have to be slightly insane to follow that dream. I dont care how good you are there is so much at stake including family, friends and your savings that it may not be worth the gamble. Even a single person with no family etc.. has to realize that when playing at a tournament or ring game.. money cannot have a value and he/she has to think of it as a job.

In a realistic world Id love to win a satalite, or big tournament that pays well.. But to become a pro.. No thanks.. there is too much to stake.. Plus I suck at poker ..lol
