Started watching this guy and his adventures moving to Vegas and playing poker. As I love poker and I love going to Vegas it seems like a good fit for me to enjoy:

I'm thinking about writing a blog on poker as a career and the pros/cons of it but then I don't want to get too preachy. But consider one point:
If you play full time (like this guy or like I did for 2-3 years in 2008), what happens after you get fed up of this lifestyle or want something more meaningful. You have a massive hole in your resume and who is going to employ you as the perception of non-poker players is you are an addicted gambler and have been full time de-gen for the last few years.
So enjoy it while you can, but understand every day spent playing poker may be a day that makes it harder for you to get some other job in the future.
