Whether you set your own hours or not is one thing, and i agree that you go and you play when the best opportunities present themselves. I just found it strange that in a scenario where marriage is being contemplated that these sort of matters would be significant, yet in the article they weren't even considered.

The whole notion that a professional gambler sets their own hours is a complete myth. As a video poker player, you don't get to decide when a casino is going offer a multiplier or when a progressive is going to go positive. You also don't get to decide which days of the week a casino will allow you to collect free play or when they do that drawing where you stuffed the drum. These factors might dictate when you have to travel out of town.
If you are a table games player, you have similar issues since playable conditions seldom exist 24/7.
A successful pro needs to take advantage of opportunities when they come up, which means they often do not get to set their own hours.
