Which is harder law or poker?

[/ QUOTE ]

This is going to sound weird, but poker can actually be harder. The legal process for most attorneys is very formulaic, to the point where, say, drafting a contract or representing a client at a small administrative hearing is 99% copying other people's work and 1% actual effort. Furthermore, while playing winning poker is easy enough that you can probably teach an eight year old to do it, playing *high stakes* winning poker is something else. There are lots of people that can turn out to be good lawyers, but very few have the exact skill set (and this includes things like bankroll management and the ability not to care about quickly dropping six figures) that go into a Phil Ivey or Patrick Antonius.

I have no idea why I responded to this seriously BTW [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
