Default How much $$$ for you to quit poker?

Suppose a concerned relative/employer/magic genie offers you a lump sum on the spot to quit poker forever. Whats your number and what were the major determinants of it?

(apologies if this has been done before/recently)

I never understood these threads.. what's the point of it? If it is $20, $100, $10,000 or $1,000,000 - what are we saying?

It has been done before, and it has been done recently.

And it would probably be around 25k I guess.

Enough to quit work, travel for a year, then pay my way through a professional graduate school of my choice with a little left over at the end. 150-200K.

750K. That would be enough for me to buy the house I want and I would gladly trade that house for poker.
