a lot to talk about

[Yeti]

You say you prefer poker to your job. Fine. I don't know how many hours you play nowadays, but you _will_ get sick of it.

You can start running bad, lose the motivation to play, the games dry up, the legality issue, etc etc. You say you can never go back to your sweet job if you leave. Why on earth would you want to jeopardise that? Just keep it as a sweet hobby for now man and maybe retire early.
