Default Re: When to go pro?

If your job is easily replacable then there is no problem is there? Anyhow since you already quit, good luck.

I think it was Lorinda who's comment said it the best re. "should I go pro":

"If you have to ask the answer is probably no".

Good attitude from a poster called 2ndgoat? a week or 2 before going pro, he said something like:

"you're not going to get one of those should I turn pro posts from me, if you don't think I should turn pro you can go piss up a rope as far as I'm concerned."

Now that's the right attitude!

By all means, quit that job right now. Oh already did, good.

Seriously, I voted no on the 'go pro' poll, but after seeing this little nugget promptly changed my mind.

And yeah, plan for 20 hrs or less each week.

And strangely, though playing poker for 40 hrs is a good way to make you want to die, poker for 20 and work for 20 isn't so bad.

ergo... get a part time job on top of a lighter poker schedule. It'll give you some security, get you out of the house and give you a reason to keep taking showers. All very important things

Good luck.
