As long as you aren't just sitting on your couch for that year off this is a pretty ridiculous perspective if you ask me. There are many very cool, productive and impressive things one can do that don't include school or and office job.

For all intents and purposes you are going to be sitting on a couch with a mouse in your hand, clicking on buttons that say "Check," "Raise," and "Fold."

Let's call a spade a spade. You want to take a year off and play poker. Just do it and worry about the consequences later. If the poker doesn't work out, you'll find something.
