Default Re: Poker now, education... later

From someone who's done it both ways...I am very happy that I made the decision to take a great job which provides: good pay, stability, a valuable routine, social interaction, sanity, etc. Yet I still play A LOT of poker. I play every night online, I play many weekends in AC. My job has allowed me to take shots at limits that would be difficult to play if I was just a grinder. As a result, I make almost the same money playing poker in my spare time as I do working. My life is fulfilling. But sometimes I get the urge to chuck it all and move to Vegas (maybe I will someday). But think about this: if you work, you play when you WANT to play, not because you have to and poker will stay fun and you will avoid alot of the misery that comes with full-time play. Just my two cents. The urge to go totally pro does dominate my thoughts alot.

Jeff
