is there such a thing as an online tournament poker pro ?

[CybrPunk]

Ok so the life of a tournament pro isn't for you. That's a personal choice. Bax made his. Rizen made his as well. Who do you think you are to criticize the choices other people make and how they earn a living? What gives you the right to question them?

Some people are happy earning 40k a year + benefits and still have to work 50+ hour weeks. What do you say to those people? Should the blue collar workers of America all flock to Wall St. so they can earn 300k+ as options traders too? I didn't realize becoming a successful options trader was so easy. Apparently we should clue the whole world in on this one... everyone can give up their 9 to 5, move to Wall Street, trade options and become filthy stinking rich!


Are you earning six+ figures a year? Are you happy with your life?

I'm sure if you asked those questions to Bax and Rizen they'd answer yes... and yes.

Who cares about the rest really? If they're happy and able to provide for their families and their futures that's all that matters. All the rest of your whining and complaining is ridiculous. Do you even have a purpose in posting this thread other than to demonstrate the fact that you're literate and successfully read a (horribly written) article from P5s and reposted the meat of it on another forum as if it were your own idea?
