I don't think it's easy or admirable life chosing poker as a profession. Although I love both playing and watching poker, still won't take it profesionally. It might look easy as they travel the world, playing the game they enjoy you know. Let's say at the top of it, players with millions of net worth.. There are rich life, casino paradises, laughs, money etc. it might seem attractive. However I can't do that personally.
Also, in the background still there're lot of hard work, discipline, stressfull days and strict mentality qualities required to handle. What I can't stand is even if you do everything right, you might go upside down.
