I never got angry at anyone "suggesting otherwise". I don't think most people have the mental fortitude (discipline) to do this for a living. In fact, I don't think I've ever recommended even one person to do this for a living. If I did, it was back during the boom where I could spend 2 hours with a total novice and have him making over 30K a year with no further guidance. Times have changed, princess.
And again with the taxes. Htf am I supposed to know who pays taxes and who doesn't? I do know that you have said that you don't pay on your winnings and that it is "utter nonsense" to do so, so it makes sense that you'd think people behave like you by default (that is, a gambling tax cheat).

Perhaps this is what Bump does for a living. I don't know. It wouldn't be a negative if he did, anyway. However, what say you to me, pro poker player? I don't do any of the above things, but I am in sales management for a major company in NYC, as well as have part-ownership in my own smaller distribution company near where I live. Since you have no half-assed ad hominem to throw my way, what say you?
I never stated being a MLM minion is negative; I said it's not owning your own marketing business.
As for you, half the time I think you and he are the same poster with some type of multiple personality disorder, so w/e.

Poker pros are generally self orientated jerks with a very pessimistic negative and wildly incorrect view of business, I suppose trying to cover up their own insecurities around their own function
If you are a consultant to businesses, then you are just as self-orientated as poker pros. Don't kid yourself; if you weren't, you'd be a ****ty sole-proprietor salesperson (maybe you are, dunno), and your negativity, pessimism and jerkiness speak for itself. In. Every. Thread. You are a broken record of broken dreams. Still awaiting a response on your Stars audit.
As for myself, I came from business before moving to poker. I wasn't a kid that skipped school for poker.
