Default I don\'t want to be a professional (LC)

I did some 2+2 reading and thinking the past hour, and reminded myself of something I already knew:

I don't want to be a professional poker player.

I don't have the time to be, I don't strive to be, I don't need to be, and I'm glad I feel this way.

I play poker under two cirumstances:
1) I am playing for the challenge/excitement combination. In this situation I play the highest limits I truely feel comfortable at (based on opponents and my BR). Currently that is 5/10 LHE.
2) I am playing for the excitement/gamble/fun. In this situation I play at laughably low limits compared to my bankroll, such as a sit n' go for 1/5000th of my bankroll.

Anyways, when I play situation 1 poker, I try my best to play well, learn something about my opponents (including myself), and enjoy it. I play probably 500 hands of this type of poker per week. I just wanted to share this, and see if others can relate.
