I couldn't imagine playing poker for a living. To me it would take all the fun out of it. I wouldn't want to every have to worry about needing to win at poker in order to pay my bills. I love playing poker as a hobby. I play for the competion of it more than the money. The title of NDNPT Champion is much better to me than the money that would come with winning. If I can get a big enough roll at a few sites I'll try a few larger buy-in tournaments but that is as big as I'd like to go.
