I find the swings too much to deal with.

Get used to them. If you can't, don't even bother to play.

Where do I go from here? I don't want to upset my parents by failing/dropping out of university,

Keep going to school. What happens if you decide to drop out, or just fail, your parents decide not to help you anymore, and then you lose everything at poker? Wouldn't leave you in such a good position would it?

I mean, I haven't lost a single penny so I can't be that bad... can I?

As much as you don't want to hear this, yes, yes you can.

I'm not trying to discourage you from doing something you want to do, but don't drop out of school, don't slack on your school work. Play on the side while going to school. Then if something happens and you decide poker isn't for you, you at least have some schooling.

I would just hate to see a post from you in a six months saying how you dropped out of school, your parents more or less disowned you, and now you are flat broke.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
