FAREWELL TO THE FELT | QUITTING THE FULL-TIME POKER SCENE

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Playing professional poker can sound like a dream job - you aren't answerable to anybody, you set your own schedule, play from anywhere in the world, and the money is close to VP+ level in unicorn/FAANG companies. However, there are many downsides to playing the game for a living - at the highest levels, it becomes an intense grind that can sometimes bring no (or negative) results for long periods of time. There are many more stable forms of income that have a better potential for growth.
