You need to get over yourself.
That sounds kinda rude, but I'm hoping you didn't mean it like that.
I've actually never been all that fast at picking stuff up, but I have a lot of perseverance that makes me willing to commit to learn to do something well. Problem is, after I'm somewhat proficient, I tend to lose interest and look for something else to do. That's why it would be hard to picture having to play poker for money. It's much better as a hobby, but I can't ignore that it would be better to play poker a few hours a day and make a decent income, rather than working for someone else over 8 hours a day.
Coming into cardschat is kind of like standing around the water cooler at the office -- you can talk shop and have some interaction with your peers, something you might miss being self-employed.
