Why poker is so good? Caaaauuuse of all the money you can win (or maybe the better word should be - earn)! If you want to be a pro, you must remember that like in every job sometimes that cash will be very easy, and sometimes you will be fighting for every penny on the table.
Professional sport is a job too. And many professionals players see the poker industry similar to sports industry. There are many movies about sportsmen, which can give inspiration to poker players. One great example being Jerry Maguire.
