Three Years in Las Vegas

[tek]

I don't think anyone like their 9-5 jobs. However, I still think it's prudent to at least have a 20 hour a week job to pay the essentials. Poker is hard enough without going into the poker rooms saying in the back of your mind "gotta win tonight-gotta pay the rent...).

Having some kind of guaranteed cash coming in is psychologically beneficial. Scared money loses because you tense up and don't make moves you would make if you were in a position of stength (strength from the aspect of your life in general).

But for those who burn their bridges and really play with no support structure, props to you.
