So what does it tell you when a guy does x for a living. When he gets home, he continues to do x, and then on the weekends x again? Obsessive compulsive? Addition? Degenerate gambler? Look, when you have skills and use them and profit, then you're good. If you squander the profits on stupidity then you are a loser. You might as well not have the skills and just pump gas. There are lots of skilled losers out there.
in my line of work they are the cardiothoracic surgeons... even the surgeries they do are high risk to begin with, so it bleeds right into gambling problems (along with alcoholism/drug addiction/general stupidity) with them... but doctors in general suck at poker (there's a tip! find a doctors house game and proceed to laugh at the donkey play). in medschool it became like playing golf with the boss so i actually had to tank some nights for my consultants to save face. eventually i found other games that i could just play anonymously thats where the real fun began.
