Re: Is anyone reconsidering decision to play poker professionally?
This new legislation didn't make me reconsider going pro, but now it did make me not want to go to lawschool anymore. I was planning on applying this year and playing poker throughout law school so that I wouldn't need to take out any loans, but now going to lawschool has a huge opportunity cost that wasn't there 24 hours ago. So I pretty much wasted a ton of time preparing for the LSAT when I shoudl have been playing marathon sessions to make money while I still could.

Pat, I think that is a terrible way to look at things as far as I can tell. You need law school now more then ever.

Re: Is anyone reconsidering decision to play poker professionally?
Paul,
The abolition of US online poker isn't the only factor leading me to make my decision, it is just a contributing factor. After thinking about it I'm not really sure that I want to 1. pay 100k+ to go to school for 3 years (plus lost wages) 2. be putting in 80 hour weeks in the prime of my life. Although if I get a 175+ on the LSAT I'll probably end up applying anyways because my friends and family would kill me if I passed up going to a top 5 law school.
