I am, but...

In Response To: How many of you out there... (Inquiry)

I play mid level green to mid black stakes and not the high stakes that many professional play. I also am not making big money that many make or that you may be dreaming about. My goals are a little more modest. Make a comfortable living, mid to upper five figures, which I have been able to achieve for the past few years. But my top concern is longevity. I want and hope to be able to do so for a few years to come.

I think it is probably more difficult than it used to be, especially for a solo player. I am sure many players decide their efforts can be put to better and more profitable use in other fields.
