I'm an 18 year old college drop out. I'll be doing some business which honestly I really cannot go into, but I definitely know what I'm doing. That, along with becoming a live pro at the card clubs here in Orlando will be my new form of income which should yield me $250k+/year

Doesn't FL have some weird maximum bet for live poker? How do they circumvent this for NL?

Just noticed, you said "card clubs" and not casinos. But out of curiosity, do you know the answer to the above question?

FL has a max $2 bet in their card clubs. Also there is legislation that Jeb Bush is trying to pass that will make tourneyment illegal in the state of FL. The reasoning is that even with say a $50 tourney. Concievable when you move all in you are risking your original buy in of $50 which according to FL law is a violation of the gambling code. If I were the original poster I would think long and hard since most local and state authorities will begin to pressure illegal card clubs and soon most will be shut down. But since your only 18 I doubt that you have given any real significant thought as to what all the FL legislation means to you and you "PIPE" dream of playing professional poker once all of the internet goes away. Think you will find that you will be a fish amounst many sharks when that time comes. Not to say that you wont be able to just the shear numbers of people who are going to make that transition from internet to live with creat a feeding freenzy. Live is a tough business now can not imagine how tough it will be when the flood of internet players make their way to the casino tables. DOG EAT DOG for sure.

Your absolutely right I have no idea who you are but I have made a living playing HSNL in underground card rooms in both FL and PA and trust me I have seen many of good internet players walk through the door thinking that they are the SHI& b/c they play hundreds of thousands of hands per year online only to leave with their tail between their legs. Not saying that it cant be done but its a completely different ball game then online and most onliners have significant trouble adjusting their style to these types of games. I wish you all the best but man your young, chances are good you cant play poker forever find a plan B is all I'm saying.
