I think I can call myself a pro, and its the easyest job I can ever imagine.

Sure you have to think quite alot and concentrate, but dude, cmon.

lol. After .5 seconds of thought I'd say being a Major League Baseball umpire is way way way harder than being a poker pro.

Not to mention everything else listed herein.

Yeah, PRO POKER player is now being shown on Dirty Jobs.

Conditions are so extreme that not many are able to handle it.

I imagine being a pro is very hard... but being the hardest? Impossible. Firefighting is extremely exhausting not to mention dangerous.. fishing in the bering sea is suicidal, and from personal experience I can tell you working the flight deck of an aircraft carrier 18 hours a day in the Gulf 5-7 days a week is quite the pain in the ass too.

i think they re cancelling "deadliest catch" because the danger of the job pales in comparison to being an online poker pro

no one even understands the question, yes there are more dangerous jobs, yes there are shittier jobs, yes there are jobs that are mind numbingly boring with horrible conditions, etc. what he asked is if it was the "hardest". Admittedly, that is a loaded word that is subject to alot of interpretation, but i think it's a valid question.
