2. Uhhh, good question. If you asked me in college what my dream job would be I would have said playing poker. I've always said I'd play poker as long as it was fun for me. These days it doesn't interest me like it used to but the freedom and experiences it allows me to have will be difficult to ever leave. I'd love for a new passion to come along take me away from poker, but who knows if that will happen.

How much is poker a passion and how much is it just a job that you get bored at sometimes now? How do you expect to feel about this in 5 years? 15?

I ask because I'm pretty sure that a lot of the young kids who dream of poker, big bucks and a balla lifestyle won't think it's so cool when they're 40 and discover that they think poker sucks...

It's not so much a passion anymore. It was a passion when I was more interested in reading books and discussing hands than I was in playing. It was still a passion when I started to play the big live tournaments. I still enjoy discussing hands and I still enjoy playing the big live tournaments but not like I used to. The thing is, this game has been such a big part of my life that I will always have love for it.

It's certainly a job that I get bored of sometimes, but not anymore bored than I would be with some other job. I could see in 5 or 15 years becoming less and less interested in it. But I don't plan on just playing poker for all the years to come.
