MONTREAL - Poker multimillionaire Jonathan Duhamel has a message for youngsters thinking of following his career path — don't do it.

Duhamel says poker is a game where luck is often more important than experience and talent.

The 23-year-old Quebecer says he is still coming to terms with the sudden fame that has come with the $8.94 million he won at the World Series of Poker this week in Las Vegas.

He told a news conference in Montreal today the victory was a magic moment in his life.

i have been married for 10 years have 2 beautiful boys aged 4 and 2, have a house, love my husband. So i should be happy but i m not at all!

I've been trying to find accurate statistics on how many, in percentage, poker players actually make a living playing it. Haven't come across any research.

I personally don't know anyone who makes a living playing poker. The only ones I do see making a living are the tournament winners on T.V.

Joe Cada recently became the youngest poker champion at the WSOP (World Series of Poker). He was 21 years old, a college dropout who won $8.55 million.

Now that's an inspiration for other college students to drop out and start a poker career. Not everyone can be a Tiger Woods and not everyone can be a champion poker player.

I suspect there will be a rise in poker addiction in young men due to Joe Cada's achievement.

You've gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em -- and know when to turn to the collective intelligence of the Internet to root out an alleged online poker gambling scandal.

A network of professional gamblers turned amateur sleuths followed the money in what appears to have been a series of rigged online poker games, gathering what they say is enough evidence to accuse a part-owner and former executive of the Web site Absolutepoker.com of cheating by looking at other players' digital cards.
