'Going Pro'- a serious conversation

[bernie]

Other than what others have pointed out, BR, etc...

[ QUOTE ]
serious discussion only please...terrible decision to go pro or reasonable given the circumstances?


[/ QUOTE ]

If you don't see that your personal circumstances suck for going pro, you may have bigger problems later on. No mention of your monthly nut that you'd need. Including child support and possible ex-spousal care should that be a possibility in the future.

[ QUOTE ]
there is not an urgency to make the decision one way or another other than the fact that I am consumed with making an immediate decision..

[/ QUOTE ]

Given all that's happening, this is not the time to be consumed with making an immediate decision. Going pro isn't an 'immediate' decision. Unless you're a desperate gambler. You have other, more immediate concerns that should be taking precedent.

My breakthrough can be traced back to when a good friend of mine was a circuit event a few months ago for 90k. Being part of that convinced me 100% that this is what I want to do, full stop!

Looked real easy, didn't it?

It's not.

In fact you may really hate it when that first real bad swing hits and lasts for a few months.

If you've only been playing 6 months, you have a bit to learn before you go pro.
