You can have the backup but still able to keep it on the back burner, just in case. Sounds to me like you'd rather keep your day job because you enjoy it more than poker.
I'm kinda concerned that if I started treating poker as a dayjob that I'd get burned out with it. I'm already kinda burned out with my dayjob, and would far rather be home grinding...

Plus in my field it's not a good idea to take a few years off and jump back into it. Technologies change so quickly, and you've gotta keep building & updating yer resume to be able to land the good jobs, otherwise you get pushed into fairly crap work.
