Re: 1 year/almost pooh-bah post(very long, probably boring)
Newhizzle,
Dude, don't drop out of school. Yes you can make tons of money at poker, but the thing you really need to be concerned about is psychological/mental burnout.
Yes, you can beat the games and make a lot of money. That you know. What you don't know is how long you will be willing to put up with the mental stress of focusing hard on poker, the lack of interpersonal contact, the frustration of bad beats, the reality of working for days and even weeks and having less money than you had during that stretch, etc...
A lot of people burn out on poker, particularly online poker. You might have suspicions about your poker endurance, but you really don't know.
And just think about how much it would suck to be totally sick of poker and in pain every time you have to play because that's your only option in like three years. And then you decide you want to do something else...
...and then you wake up and realize you can't do anything because you forgot to graduate from school.
