Seems to me like he's trying to take pride in a decision, which, despite what happened to him still seems to be a correct one. If you're miserable stuck in a room grinding or you can't handle the pressure for one reason or another, it probably is.
I'm sure this applies to many other people as well.
But what seems more interesting is the way people respond. Very defensively, as if they're threatened by his words.
Maybe those people would be better off asking themselves honestly if they wouldn't be happier doing something that isn't poker.
There's a thin line between dedication and addiction. Denial is certainly a determining factor, along with your profits and general happiness and whatever else you value.
Not judging, just observing. I'm also not saying anyone should/shouldn't quit poker.
But it's at least worth thinking if you're not happy with the way things are going.
