I've played a very good amount with Samoleuos over the last month or two. He is obviously a significant winner in these games, although his stlye of play is what leads KKF to the incoorect conclusion that his game has tons of holes. He is very good at extracting money from the poorer players, while his style of play will not be that effective against the top regs. (By this i simply mean they won't fall victim to overcompensating as much against him) But the money he makes off the weaker players makes him a very significant winner in these games.

Out of curiousity, are you speaking of the 10 handed games?
What are pun's numbers in these games these last months?

If you have 4 million of cash game winnings left over after your charity contributions, then even in a money market account this will yield you a good $200,000/yr. I think you can safely quit your job, Bro!

Read most of what you wrote. With a new child coming (and even without one coming) my number one concern would be health insurance, not on going legality of poker.

I would keep the job if it is enjoyable. If you could drop to part time, even at the expense of some benefits (e.g. you having to pay the entire insurance cost vice the subsidized cost), that would be ideal. Alternately, going back for a PhD might be worth looking into. Were I you, I would be focussed on keeping my options open and my health insurance with a group. (The PhD route is particularly appealing to me personally, and I think you can swing the insurance through a university group, but I have not investigated this fully yet.)

If your wife is working, has health benefits, and will be going back to work after the baby arrives, then I would say go for it BUT wait until she has been back at work for at least a month. (Maybe you could take a leave of absense if she goes back to work; maternity (and paternity) can change your outlook a lot, and even if she is planning on returning to work, that may be something she decides she would rather not do).
