also, 18 months may not sound like alot but i still have 600k hands that say i poker will "work out for me" should i decide to go back to it. that is what is making the decision so hard...i wish i never played a hand of poker in my life.

I had been playing poker and betting on sports for 7 years but when I finished law school and I still wasn't sure what I should do.

If 1998 hadn't been an insane year I probably would have gone into law. In 98 though I was making 60-80% of my first year salary every week. That never happened again. I still make very good money and am way ahead of what I would have made in law (plus much happier) but that just highlights the danger of using a single year of data for making decisions.
