Also: Your profile lists your occupation as "student" - how old are you and did you graduate?


[/ QUOTE ]

I'm 22 and I still consider myself a student. I'm going to be starting school again in september, and taking two classes each semester. Since I can only spend 25 hours or so a week playing cards, school is a good way to use some of my extra time.

Do you see poker as an honourable profession?


[/ QUOTE ]

In the sense that a whole lot of people work for the sole purpose of getting money, I think poker is perfectly 'honourable'; it certainly isn't pretending to be anything it isn't. That said I'm not going to pretend that poker has some deep value to society.

Do you think you could earn more money doing something else?


[/ QUOTE ]

I think I can make more money playing poker than anyone would ever pay me to work, but I think that poker money, even at the highest levels, is pretty small change compared to what you can make as an entrepreneur.
Do you get nervous before sessions?

Do you enjoy playing or is it like hard work?

[/ QUOTE ]

It's work, but I enjoy it sometimes. Mostly though I enjoy the lifestyle it facilitates: making my own schedule, taking vacations when I want, not having to deal with people I don't like... I still have trouble making myself put in the hours, though.
