Can someone make a long-term career at online poker?

[CAPPARELLA]

I guess if you are an introvert you could make a living of it, I myself like poker because of playing the people, i do however enjoy online just to sharpen the skills and keep the game clear in my head. I guess you'd be your own boss though which definitely has its advantages...

<<all that to win 2 BB's an hour ?? it can be done but is it really worth doing ? >>

I agree with your post. But 2BB/hour is $32/hour if you are playing 4 tables of $2/$4 and $16/hour at $1/$2. For people out there grinding it out at a entry level job I think it can have appeal. Most of the people who tell you "I wouldn't sit home and play poker" probably hve jobs they like - but most people don't in my opinion.
