I understand what you are saying. That's part of why I'm waiting ten
years. I hope to find out during those ten years to see how bad it sucks.
I've been working a job to support myself for nearly 14 years. Every job
I've ever had, even up to this very day, have sucked. Even all the jobs
I've had in a field that I loved supporting causes (I mostly have worked
for NGO's) that I loved — they suck, too.
Frankly, poker is a meaningless thing; a pointless activity that has
no social value. I live with it as my hobby because, in my professional
life, I try to only work jobs that have some redeeming social value (I
stopped working in the corporate world long ago). My hope is that if I
can make poker my job, I can spend the rest of my time doing things I love
that have strong social value, instead of turning my social value activity
into a job that, well, sucks.
