I'm very happy now. Yes, it's a grind and yes, poker has many stressful aspects to it (when you lose, mostly!)<BR/><BR/>I feel people that disrespect poker players must be jealous - really!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36880087.post-18694820454202100372008-10-21T09:30:00.000-04:002008-10-21T09:30:00.000-04:00Ha Ha Ha,Conversations containing words like fulfi...Ha Ha Ha,<BR/>Conversations containing words like fulfilling, meaningful, real life etc make me laugh internally and commiserate with the speaker of such drivel. Read Kurt Vonnegut's "Galapagos" for a look at the problems of big brains. Or see the flick "Office Space", a fine examination of a variety of fulfilling jobs.randy tucsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01292922898838940121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36880087.post-20998830382456700912008-10-20T13:48:00.000-04:002008-10-20T13:48:00.000-04:00Kind of like those physicians who chuck it all to ...Kind of like those physicians who chuck it all to become a professional poker player... ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36880087.post-88437055012330408922008-10-20T12:26:00.000-04:002008-10-20T12:26:00.000-04:00...and being a lawyer is that fufilling?...and being a lawyer is that fufilling?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36880087.post-78685938473815554302008-10-20T09:36:00.000-04:002008-10-20T09:36:00.000-04:00C'mon guys...get a fulfilling hobby or something.....C'mon guys...get a fulfilling hobby or something...start a business...start another blog, plant a garden, do volunteer work, make some kids...blah, blah, blah.LPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16068528140475902670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36880087.post-54132323827201602912008-10-19T18:40:00.000-04:002008-10-19T18:40:00.000-04:00Yep, and some don't even make that much money.

Whereas one could have a real job and just make a reasonable amount of money and not waste so much time trying to trap other people, but instead focus on a socially positive endeavor. So that is the ultimate question that anyone who has ever been very good at poker must eventually face.Mike Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18267362051369695129noreply@blogger.com
