good luck, for those that dont know you...

what stakes?
Where you start from?
What bb/100 were you beating all the previous stakes for over how many hands?
How old are you?
Where you from?
What do you expect/need to earn to "keep even" with your job payments?

Cheers,

Best of luck to you... I followed most of this story...did I miss anything between you telling your parents you weren't happy and them saying that's how life is to you quitting your job.

Congrats on the decision and the freedom.

you have mentioned the issues with your parents in previous threads. I'm assuming that you haven't told them yet and that you are in for a big discussion about this sometime in the semi-near future.

Any thoughts on how you're going to approach the topic with them?
Good luck with it when the time arrives.
