So people that start up their own businesses and fail are doomed to never be employed again? While I can understand your position of liking the stability that working for someonelse can bring to you, I think that your attitude that anyone that does different than you is making mistakes pathetic. Frankly, I'm more stressed working for someone else than I am in dealing with the ups and downs of being my own boss (I don't play poker professionally, but I can see the correlations mentally between playing poker professionally and starting your own small business).

I've owned businesses and worked with a lot of small business owners. Businesses that don't need to adapt to changing marketplace within a 5 or 10 year span (ie poker fad fades etc) are a very small percentage.

A- He is not starting his own business, he is leaching off hard working people. I am not saying this is morally wrong, just that this is what poker pros do. Calling a spade a spade here.

B- No one ever said he could not be employed again

C- No one said he had to work for another person and could not be his own boss.

This being a internet poker pro might work out for him, you never know. I hope it does. But IMO internet poker has a lot more to do with a ponzi scheme that is eventually gonna collapse than it does with running a business.
