I would find some alternative. There are many interesting activities in life from which you can enjoy and make a living from them. It so happened that I once became acquainted with poker and it became a part of my life, but in place of poker there could be any other activity. There is no need to tie yourself to something in life, circumstances may change in such a way that you will not have the opportunity to do this thing, so you always need to be ready to move on. I am sure that nothing will happen to poker, it has become a part of this life and this world.
