no other factors like
1) your past performance does not mean your future performance will be equal or greater. should have a plan for when shit hits the fan
2) poker sure as hell won't carry you through your entire life up to retirement and if it does you'd probably want to kill yourself
3) if you want to make a lot of money in life poker should only be the beginning because bigger money is made elsewhere
4) gov legislation can affect you negatively (seen this already with americans) but think other things like tax problems or something.
5) a lot of pressure to make money when you have bills to pay. at least with most other jobs you can secure a contract to be paid x$ over xtime or something. this type of work isn't for everyone. some people are better off with a secure, stable work life.
