I had the opportunity to hang out with a couple of professional, semi-professional, whatever the heck they are poker players that play poker full time and roam about poker rooms all over. To have an in depth conversation with them was interesting to say the least. These guys talked at length about their lifestyle roaming about the poker rooms and talked of their various exploits. It became obvious that these guys (who are young, single guys in their 20's) truly live on the edge and experience ROR on a given bank that would be ridiculous and out of the question to a professional blackjack player but then again these guys have no real responsibilities as of yet in their life. They are essentially homeless and live in the casino hotels for up to $150 a day or so, the poker players room rate at some casinos. They go from "living large" to scraping bottom at the drop of a hat and right back again from what they were saying about it all. They come off as somewhat crazy and adventurous but obviously they also put considerable effort into it all. They will be in the main event at the WSOP and I wish them the best of luck.
