Re: poker pro - hardest job there is?
[ QUOTE ]
people are giving OP grief because he's mistaken. While I understand the stress of playing online poker for a living, unless you are on a short roll, there's no way it should be super stressful. Becoming good at the game means treating the money involved as points, not dollars. And yes, while other jobs have downtimes, they also often have deadlines, bosses, and other people to deal with.
One can burn out from poker to be sure - but stressful? No - not quite like a ton of other jobs.
But again if OP is shortrolled, there are few more stressful jobs.

I never mentioned stressful, I agree that it's not really a stressful job. But multitabling online poker for hours on end is hard because it's so mentally taxing.
