who likes to play poker, and do you have any stories to share? bad beats?

I have spent the last three years working on my poker play. I can tell you that playing for a living is not a good idea. While I have become good, finishing consistently in the top %, there are too many variables to think that you can support yourself through poker. It should be something fun to do and every once in a while you can score some cash. But you're just asking for trouble if you think that it is your job.
