Default Re: Today I became a pro.

(in response to my earliest post being a 'brag'?) surely not the intention. the implications of devoting 30-50hrs a week to poker in my life are far reaching..I'd need a new health insurance plan, funded fully by me..Id have to set my own schedule. Sleeping schedules would change (matters when you have an 18 month old). Dollar figures are all relative. If I am breaking even relative to the current paycheck, is it worth the move? Or, how much more can I make and what does that mean? Is my quality of life that much better? Is it that important to not HAVE to work for the man? Can I survive the lifestyle? Do I have enough of a support group behind the endeavor?
My point being, I dont fathom how one wakes up one day and says, I'm going pro. Just seems too impulsive to me and that in itself is a bad trait for someone whose gonna play poker for a living...JMO
