Though the dangers with attempting to beat the casinos are a little riskier than I would be willing to go, that's for sure.

Like Scott said, the majority that rely on gambling for a living look for the smaller games with moderate stakes. For many, high-stakes poker is too risky, and they would rather play solid for much more reasonable pots.

It's a hard process and you can leave the table flat-broke as easily as you can walk away a winner, and it is definitely not an advisable "job" should you have responsibilities.
