I'll ask some questions.
1. Did you go to college? If not, do you plan to at some point?
2. Is playing poker your end goal? Do you feel as though you will be doing this professionally 10-20 years from now?
3. How do you feel about the fact that poker is a game which has no real societal value? Not hating -- and knowing that their are a lot of Finance jobs that are similar, just wondering if when you are grinding poker have you ever felt like it was not for any real purpose, other than just getting money? Kind of goes with #2 as well.
Thanks!
Went for a year, spent most of that year playing
poker online, and poker live with friends.
I plan on eventually entering real-estate investment (what my step dad does), or at least running my own business of some kind. I expect to at least play the wsop every year, and wouldn't surprize me if most of my income comes from poker for many years to come. But I could also be mostly doing other things in 10 years, will depend on how the industry changes.
I don't really play poker for the money, I play it more for the enjoyment tbh. While there isn't that much societal value from the game, there is enough personal value for me to not really care. (Most people do things for society because they feel great personally about doing so)
That being said I like doing things in the community, and plan on spending time doing more as I get settled and have more time and money to do so.
