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.
A pro, how interesting

waht do you think about playing a little poker to try and build a bankroll and move up slowly. I don't really see a downside to that or is there too big a risk to get hooked?
