Fnord took the job at Blizzard for good reason. I'm sure he is still going to play online or at casinos whenever possible, which is only extra income. Some people like stability, and less mental stress. Plenty of semi-pros do this.

Hell, there are people who live in Las Vegas who have totally different professions (real estate, investing, whatever) and still hit up the casinos on the regular playing decent stakes.

I will never be a pro poker player, but i'll definitely find time to play in good games when the opportunity arises.
