Time to Go Pro?

[FiftyOuts]

Thanks for all the feedback. I will take everything into consideration. How I rate my job is that from a scale of 1-10, I give it a 6. Somedays the job could be interesting and somedays it can be downright boring. I don't necessary hate my job OR jump out of bed every morning to go to work.

How I rate my poker skills is that I feel that I'm among the best players playing in my local card room. People may feel that I'm egotistic by making this statement. My track records speak for itself, and other players really do not want me to sit at their table. With that said, I still see error in my game which I could improve on. I honestly feel that if I focus my attention to poker (fix my errors) I could easily make $300,000/yr. My current job requires alot of my attention due to the complex nature of the job. This leaves me tired to focus on my poker games say on a Friday night after spending 8 hours at work.

I'm leaning toward making the transition to go pro. I figure I'll give it a chance now so I really don't have anyting to lose. I don't mind being broke because I grew up poor (food stamps, free lunch). If it doesn't work out I think I can get a job back in engineering, maybe will need to take a paycut ~$65,000/yr or so. By making the transition, at least than I finally do it and stop wondering about playing pro.
