Re: Poker now, education... later
im 19. i decided to take a year off college to pursue poker as a temporary career. well, ive met it with excellent success, if i could keep myself ONLY playing poker. not blackjack, craps, all that casino crap. its definitely doable if you go about it right. sngs are my game of choice. i 8 table the 215s. rakeback alone will get me 80k+ per year, so im not too worried about it. 80k breaking even aint so bad.
definitely keep yer options open. playing poker 60 hours a week is boring as can be. i have probably logged more hands in the last 6 months than 99.9% of other pros. so, maybe in the top 5 for hands played. of course, thats heavily because i 8 table all day every day..
anyways, i say to stay fresh, you need to have some good friends you can go out and party with to take a load off. get a gym membership. when i started playing, i got lazy and just sit on my ass in front of my 4 beautiful 2001 fps and play all day. get out. will keep you sane. i wish you luck in your quest.. holla
