Great post. I'm sure I don't even begin to grasp the level of discipline that it has taken for you to get where you are right now, but I have thought a lot about making a move similar to yours over the past 6 months and your story makes the idea even more intriguing.

Of course, my recent marriage and desire to start a family one of these years will likely leave the poker life in the fantasy category, but I still wonder whether I could make it work and I have a ton of questions about the lifestyle, miscellaneous costs, taxes, etc. Would love to pick your brain and hear how someone like yourself handles the nitty gritty of everyday life out there (PM me if you wouldn't mind discussing some of these types of things).

Anyway, thank you for sharing your story and congratulations on your success! Hope to meet you and some of the other Vegas locals when I'm out there next week.
