I agree. But Strassa mentioned last time about "managing a hedge fund". I think he probably has some pretty big goals ahead of himself.

Going from poker to this with money not being primary motivator reminds me of a joke:

John Crapface decides it is time to change his name, and he talks to the name changing agency. They tell him they are unable to do it for whatever reason, and that he has to go to a higher office. John Crapface treks around from office to office, each telling him the same thing. This goes on for a long time. He finally gets an audience with the president himself, after a decade of wandering about trying to get his name changed. The president is able to change his name to whatever he wants, and John Crapface happily states: "I want to change it to Jim Crapface"

Yeah, I agree that long term potential is a pretty big motivator here. Telling yourself its going to be a fun/intricate/interesting/etc journey getting there may be a good attitude to have, but don't be surprised when it isn't anything like that, and instead its a disgusting life-consuming grind.
