LOL I'm not a pro. I'm a partner in a corporate law firm here in Manchester UK. That is not generally regarded as an underpaid job.
I play purely for R&R and the chance to treat myself to a new camera or TV from the winnings from time to time.
Also if you read the start of the thread you will see that I'm learning a new game (PLO) from the micros up starting with $1 as a homage to Chris jesus Ferguson who turned $1 in $20k or so (actually $2 as he went busto with his first $) in NL.
The aim is to be beating and be rolled from the $1 for the $50 PLO tables by the year end.
