Default Poker and/or Card Counting?

Hey guys, I'm new here and have a question I'd like to get as much feedback on as possible...

Is there greater potential to make money as a professional poker player? Or by counting cards in blackjack? Or maybe I should be trying to do both to have two different options in order to diversify a bit?

I took a card counting seminar from Blackjack Training | Card Counting Training | Learn from a Pro! which was great and has really paid off. I also bought awesome card counting software from Card Counting Software and Blackjack Advice. I'm doing pretty well with blackjack, but now I wonder if I'll eventually get banned from casinos? I'm looking at World Poker Tour Boot Camp to possibly gain a new skill in the poker world. Will poker be as lucrative as card counting has been up to this point? Has anyone else tried WPTbootcamp.com?

Sorry if this isn't the right section to post in, but like I said, I'm new here.

Thanks!

I don't know why my links to the different websites turned into titles. Very strange. Hopefully my post isn't confusing everyone because i would really appreciate some feedback.

Thanks again!

Counting cards at blackJack isn't exactly illegal , but if you get caught by
any casino , you will definately get a life ban from all known casinos
as they don't allow this at all , imo ,
I know there's one famous poker player who was caught counting cards
at blackjack and was banned , forget his name , but he's still an active
and good poker player , and now the casinos let him play only poker ..lol
maybe some of you guys remember the guys name ...?

If you count cards with others like in the movie 21, then yes, it's VERY illegal if I remember correctly.

counting cards is not illegal, casinos lose money to it and dont like it so they ban you so they dont lose their money. you dont go to jail you just cant go to the casinos any more
