Quitting my crap job to grind 2/5+ live??

To the OP, I'd suggest going for it but get a new job also. One you enjoy 20-30 hours a week w/o much focus on money as you'll be making that at poker most of the time. The job will help with the downswings and help give your life some variance.

If I was to ever "turn pro", it would be under the aforementioned condition. But just curious what kind of legit paying jobs are out there that allow you to work 20-30 hours a week?

The only things I can really think of:
server, bartender, dealer

Anything else I think of pays sh*t money and would hardly help the variance of playing 20-30 hours a week. Can anyone add to this list?

Why do people always put pro or turn pro in quotes?

I think the OP should do it for sure. Many people his age and older take a year off work to travel and most spend at least 15k doing it. Many people also take a year off before going back to school as well. I don't think you need to worry about a year gap in your resume if you just got out of school after a few years and are looking for a job.

If you have 6 months living expenses saved up aside from your bank roll wtf is the problem? If you lose your roll you can get a crappy job for a few months and then go back to school.

If this is something that you are really wanting to do, then do it. It won't be long before you can't. I'm about to be 28 and I couldn't do it, but wish I could. I'm only 5 years older than you and paying a mortgage.

It happens fast, do it while you can!

somehow I doubt the OP has 6 months saved.
