It must be nice to have talent and disipline.

"Strasser said his poker really took off when he left Duke for his summer break and headed to Vegas, where a company hired him to play poker all summer long. In seven weeks on the job, his earnings exceeded $200,000."

Thanks for the quick reply. I take it they paid you to only play at Pokerstars, and not live games?
