Re: poker pro - hardest job there is?

This actually is true. When I say anybody I should really limit it to people of average or better intelligence who have good emotional control. I think that covers most of mainstream society and that you can quickly judge if someone has those qualities simply by looking at their achievements to date.

I think traditional "intelligence" is overrated when it comes to poker potential. My GF plays full-time and will make $100K this year, and she didn't crack 1000 on her SATs.
Emotional control and being able to manage your roll correctly are far and away the most important qualities IMO.
