Re: Poker as a living. How to deal with my family?
It isn't something I SHOULD be doing RIGHT NOW though. Education has and still is very important in my life. I pride myself on my education and intelligence. I decided that I needed a break from school before I ever started taking poker seriously.
My parents aren't happy with me having a part time job and playing poker on the side. A 9-5 job that I am qualified for would be a complete grind. I could always get a job waiting tables or at Best Buy or something, but my parents are pushing me to look for jobs with the federal or state government. Jobs where I would be an underpaid file clerk.
Given the above, let me rephrase the question. How do I convince my parents that I don't need to have a 9-5 job with the government to be "doing" something with my life?
Alex, I really appreciate your advice on bankroll management and hopefully I can follow it without trouble.
