Then again if you are lazy and can't interact socially outside the safety of a computer screen I see how poker can be a good alternative.
Again, that goes back to what stakes you play, how many tables you play at once, and how good your table selection ability is. Don't assume everyone works 60 hour weeks with no life because that just isn't how it works. I know one guy who plays 8 hours 5 days a week grinding away with 12+ tablea and makes right at 100k - 2 kids, wife, mortgage, etc. He treats it like any other job. Another friend of mine plays day to day only when good games are going. Parties more than anyone I know but table selects at higher stakes like a champ and doesn't put in near the hours as my other friend.

It may not produce a tangible good to society, but poker players provide a service the same as any casino, dog track, etc.

Free health care if you're from country xyz? Savings/retiremebt account?

Otherwise, the same way every other self-employed person does it.

Think that's 2-0 Holocaust, SK now CT - with massive level disadvantage + zone control. Fun fight guys too bad only Gray took it like a man and ate the death while the rest plugged =).
