Re: X-Post: poker pro - hardest job there is?
[ QUOTE ]
When I was comparing it to a surgeon's job, I was accepting that a surgeon has an emotional aspect to his job.
What I consider more difficult, is making new complex/difficult decisions each time I play... unlike a surgeons who are doing the same procedure they've probably done 100x before (vasectomy, remove appendix, install breast implants, etc).
If I could come to play poker today and get dealt the exact same hands I was dealt yesterday, and my opponents the same - and just follow the same process I'd done before... wow, it would be easy.

If you truely think this, I suggest you take a visit to A&E of your local hospital - just remind yourself what a dumb-ass statement you made on this thread.
Production-line surgery like you have outlined is one thing, but just take a moment to reflect if (god forbid) someone close to you gets something like cancer.
Check/raise doesn't seem so tough now huh
