Re: I like poker so I\'m going to quit school.
Milo told me something along the lines of "you're talking about the EV of a lifetime here" when I mentioned to him that I was considering taking a semester or two off for poker. I know where you're coming from. The games are good now. They're going to get tougher.
Poker is the short term though. You're probably going to need your education someday. If you manage your time well you can probably get 15-20 hours in per week playing if you really try to, w/o sacrificing your school work... If you quit and were a fulltime pro are you really going to play 30-40hrs per week? Have you ever tried doing that for a long period of time and do you know if you're capable of that? It isn't easy. If you quit your poker playing hours will probably increase only a little bit and you'll just become lazier with everything else in life...
Keep the big picture in focus Tyler, stay in school.
