Default Re: I\'m thinking of quitting my job

First off, I believe one of the major obstacles in playing professionally, even for the very small percentage of money successful players, is maintaining a quality life away from the table. Maybe you will be good enough to be a successful pro, but can you sustain a rewarding life and preserve your relationships with those you care about?

Secondly, your law degree is good currency for many career choices, so you might consider a job change that gives you more satisfaction.

Finally, I would avoid using your short term run at poker and job dissatisfaction to justify the jump to full time poker player. Give it some more time, like years. In the meantime, you can build your bankroll and your expertise.

From one who has played the game for over thirty years and played professionally for ten years.
