thanks for all the replies, this really is pretty tricky. one part of me thinks it would be a dream lifestyle (play 30 hours a week poker, earn loads, invest, earn more, go out whenever, play golf whenever, go on holiday whenever) but the other part of me imagines having a breakeven month or two, going to play at the tables and seeing no edge, thinking how much i'd [censored] myself over.

For what it's worth I definitely only see it as a quality of life quest except that I admit I'd like the security but more that housing costs are astronomical where I live. Other than that I live a fairly frugal lifestyle and generally have no wish to spend boat loads of cash. If I could do anything for the rest of my life earning 80k (not much thought has gone into this figure) a year but love the lifestyle it gave me then I'd look no further. I'm just not sure that poker fits the lifestyle bill for me.
