Re: Dating a poker pro- From the perspective of a non-playing girlfrie
[ QUOTE ]
My current Gf is very serious and she is fine with it. My main source of income is sports betting not poker but same difference. I can see how someone would have some concerns about future security at first but once you have been doing it long enough they realize it is stable.

What is your definition of long enough? Las Vegas is littered with people who lasted 10 years and then washed away. And then you are in your 30's starting from scratch.
I personally think trying to be a professional poker player (or sports bettor) is an abysmal life choice for someone young since the fall back opportunity disappates. Better to build up some skills and then take a 'gamble' in a 'profession' as tenuous as bettor since if it doesn't work out, it will be easier (but not easy) to get back on the gainful employment train.
