Default Re: poker pro - hardest job there is?

Well the practise of law is pretty easy too. Never went to medical school but it seems a lot harder.

That people don't win at poker doesn't mean any one of them couldn't. Most people are capable of playing winning poker they just don't. Anyone who wants to eat healthy can, but lots of people quickly end up back at McDs. It is not that they can't do it. They have the necessary desire, skills and knowledge but they just don't. Same is true of poker players. Which is a good thing because if everyone did improve the game would become much harder.

Assuming it was acceptable under the T&C to have a bot it would be pretty easy to program a bot AI that would, when you factor loyalty programs, make between $100-150k. This is with a very remedial AI. I think most of society is pretty stupid but not so stupid as to be less capable then an AI.
