No. If you have to ask a bunch of strangers on a message board, you don’t have the self reliance needed to be a professional player.

Hi, my name is Bill Rini and this is my poker blog. I've been blogging about poker and the poker industry since around 2003-ish. Like most people I started out playing poker as entertainment in home games whenever we wanted to sit around and smoke cigars, drink beer, and eat pizza, and needed a good excuse. I started playing online shortly after the first online card rooms opened and it wasn't long before I was playing 20, 30, or even 40 hours a week or more. One day I received a phone call about a program manager position at Tiltware which was the company that consulted to Full Tilt Poker on software development and marketing. After Tiltware I spent about 2.5 years working at Party Poker where I was the poker room manager.

Bill, you’re on fire lately. Nice work.
I have recently opened the can of online blogging. I never knew so many people were online talking about poker (and other worthless stuff). I only picked up poker about a year ago. I know “where have you been kid?” However, I found your site and really appreciate all the work you do for online blogging. Your name is everywhere out here. And you do an excellent job. Thanks!
