Re: How have you taken advantage of being a poker pro?
Didn't read this thread first time around. Inspirational stuff.
I'm older than most (37) and already had a career going as a custom home builder when I started getting serious about poker. Poker has always been a very nice addition to my income, enough to live on if I had to, but not enough to pull me away from my company.
This year my poker income has become several times my regular income which has me considering a similar lifestyle of some of the posters in this thread. I'm not married, no kids and really not very materialistic, so I don't have a ton of stuff tying me down.
Even though I'm a bankroll (and lifestyle) nit, I find it a scary thought living only on poker. On the other hand, I've spent my entire adult life workign my ass off, why not see the world for a couple of years? What's the worst that could happen?
Hopefully I'll find the balls in the next year to make the jump.
