Default What advice would you give to someone recently playing for a living?

Hello.

Recently I took the decision to leave university for a variety of personal reasons. At the minute im unemployed and I'm not really looking for a job as such while I sort my life out.

Over the past few months I have made reasonably consistent money playing the low/mid-level SNG's online and Im also going along OK in live play. While I'm realistic enough to know I'm probably not going to be the next WSOP champion I am confident I am good enough to grind out a living playing the game while I sort myself out so this is the route I plan on taking, at least for the short term.

However, as for the actual time/bankroll/wages management part of playing as my sole income I am pretty clueless. So what I am asking for is the experiences of anybody who is or has recently turned professional to help me out and maybe give me a bit of guidance if possible.

I know this is a dangerous route to go down but I think with a little help I should be ok.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much,

Matt.
