Re: If you were me..............
After reading the discussion and your further input. I am going to say it is close.
It sounds like you need/want a break from your job. You are not telling them to "get f#$@ed" and can go back.
It sounds like you can at least minimise any short term (short term being one year) oppurtunity costs. With your winnings
You are not putting anyone else at risk with your decision.
It sounds like you really want to do it.
So my answer now is this: It is not what I would do in your situation. But, there is really nothing I can find that is "stupid" about the idea of taking one year off to play poker and decide what direction you want the next few years of your life to go.
You may be giving up a little financially, but it sounds like emotionally/psychlogicaly you might need this. So it could be an even trade... utility wise.
You have convinced me for whatever that is worth.
