Dave Kaminski, I'm a professional poker player and you are absolutely right.
It's not good for you.
I would advice anyone who considers going pro to quit right away. It's like trying to run through a mine field where the potential reward is very small compared to the potential risks.
You only hear about the winners. You don't hear about the people going broke, becoming anti-social etc. I would never attempt it nowadays, now that I can see the whole picture.
