Re: Building a bankroll while you\'re young....
Yes, it is a great time to begin building your bankroll (whether you can be called a pro when your winnings don't pay your expenses or not). And staying in school while you do this is a great plan, because for almost everyone, poker will not last forever. And even if you don't go pro, you will have built a bankroll that you can play with during that terrible time right after college where you don't have enough money comming in to sustain yourself and pay for poker.
My only concern is that you shouldn't give up too much of this "bullshiting" time with friends. While your classmates are spending time together and building relationships that will last a lifetime, you will be in your room glued to the computer monitor. Instead of 5 hours a day, what about 2? I would give anyting to be back in school, hung-over and watching football with friends. Don't let poker replace this time interacting with others. That is not healthy.
