What is the The Modern Grinder?

In the old days a grinder traveled from game to game grinding out a living one hand at a time. The scary part was you could go broke miles from home. If you were lucky it would be in a safe clean legitimate poker room but more than likely it would be in a underground game in some dirty back room where no one would testify as to how you disappeared. Come to think of it winning could be just as bad as losing in an underground games. Enter The Modern Grinder, he still eeks out a living one hand at a time, the difference is that he doesn’t have to leave the safety of his home and can ply his trade from anywhere in the world. He doesn't even have to get dressed if finds he his too busy taking down pots from his opponents who are unlikely to be hardened pros themselves but a mixture of bored housewives, college students and others seeking escape from their otherwise dull lives. They are playing for fun more than for profit and can't be bothered with things like position, pot odds or even decent hand selection. They live for the suck-out, the thrill of making their double belly buster straight. When they lose they love to complain about how their aces got cracked on the river by some idiot who pulled a lucky draw. The Modern Grinder's job is to profit from these mistakes and attitudes without ruining their fun.
