Ansky,

Not sure if you know this, but I'm pretty sure you can't make 3 figures per hour going to the gym or trying out for the soccer team. Just throwing that out there.

The problem is that the sum of your undergrad experiences is worth $5 million or so on average. It's hard to tell which part exactly, the grades that make you qualified for your first job, or knowing the guy on the soccer team who becomes a vice president at Goldman Sachs in 10 years.

But there's a definite long-term monetary value in it, some of that value is more reliable than poker, and it's foolish to risk everything if poker makes you so single-minded.
