Life after Professional Poker

[Abu Turab]

Look at it this way: YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE! I assume that you are in your early 20's, not tied down and probably don't have school loans to worry about. Taking a year off to play poker is no worse than f'ing around the world with a EuroRail Pass and a backpack while trying to bang a chick in every port! If this is your hearts desire, then go for it. The time will come when you won't be able to do this and you'll always regret the decision.
