Too many top down hierarchies for pool to be successful. A profit sharing construct would have to be put in place including streaming, tournament, product and online revenue that would take the cooperation of nearly all major players in the industry...its just not going to happen. Not enough interest, too little cooperation and too many cooks in the kitchen. As far as making money as a road player...good luck. The idea of gambling for a living sounds tiresome. I never plan on going to work and losing money. Cant imagine living like that. More effort needs to be put into how to make pool a sustainable living rather than cannibalizing other players bank rolls. Even an ad and product promotion driven stream would probably put a leg up on being a lone road player. Kudos to the handful that have done it successfully but a whole generation has come and gone since that was a feasible means of sustenance
