It isn't a growing career field, you do however see many people going into the casinos that weren't before because they are thinking that they can get lucky and hit it big and not have to go out and get a real job(nothing new). I can't tell you how many times I have heard in the last 2 or 3 years that someone is going to the casino, but they don't have a job... Struggling everywhere in life in the recession, but they will risk a significant(even $50-100 to some of them) portion of their life-roll(notice that this is different than a bankroll) because they think they will miraculously be able to hit Quads and stack someone, spin 00 at roulette, get 3 BARs, whatever at the casino. What happens to those people probably 9 out of 10 times? They leave with less than they came in with and that money they lost may seem like pennies you to and I, but to them, it was a meal, or a bill, or something needed that is no longer going to be available, which is why they try to hit the casino again tomorrow...

I saw someone post about 3 things they find out about grinding, You know what I found out, the poker high last about 30 minutes and really no one cares. I have never taken down anything big but even when I get final table deep. Its like you feel good but then its gone and especially if the next game you do the same thing and end up busting out early. DOnt get me wrong, just the feeling of getting deep in a game is an awesome feeling, but as Im finding out, its not an everyday thing

Thinking of having to grind and grind to make my LIFE ROLL, nah and it wouldnt be fun. I have to agree with spiderman, I do this for fun, the more I learn about this game, the more I realize this aint an overnight deal.

BUT (HINT HINT HINT) I WOULD LIKE THE OPTION TO PLAY online poker IN THE USA WHEN I WANT.
