Mena: Being a professional poker player is a dream lifestyle even playing for money on weekend. Instead of making $35,000 a year working a 9 to 5 jobs, a good pro poker player can make $200,000 a year specially if he or she is playing with millionaires and billionaires poker player call whales. I think poker is the best form of gambling because it combines skills and luck compare to playing the lotto were you are only relaying on luck.
Easy money always have its bad side. Like drugs and alcohol a person can be addicted to playing poker and destroy their life. many addicted poker players become bankrupts, homeless and lose their wives and children in divorces.
