Re: How have you taken advantage of being a poker pro?
I was never a poker pro, but I made decent money playing poker over the last 4 years. I never took exotic vacations that didn't include poker, but even my poker trips were awesome. I got to visit Copenhagen during an EPT tournament and I just spent a day after I busted out walking around town. It might have been the most memorable day of my life. I had a blast on my Vegas trips as well.
I never made baller money and I'm currently winding down my poker career to once a week B&M + occasional micro stakes online play. But I made good money and the most important thing about that is that I wasn't poor. I didn't have to work very hard in grad school, I never had to eat ramen, or move back in with my parents when I was unsuccessful in a year long job search. A lot of people don't appreciate how stressful the first few years can be after you get out of college.
