Going Pro in Atlantic City
Hello, I've been an internet pro in the north east for over a year now. I'm 24 and I made more money this year playing online than at any job I could have gotten with my B.S. in computer science. However, I want to expand my horizons and start playing in person and so I'm considering a move to AC. So my question is, does anyone have advice on living in AC? I know the area has the reputation of being some what of a slum besides the casinos. So if anyone has any advice on the area within 30 min of AC, I would greatly appreciate it.
In case you care I have two reasons for wanting to make the move. 1: Even though I believe online is more profitable in general, I believe this changes as soon as you start reaching very high stakes (100/200 we'll say) due to the necessity to have the ability to read body language and other tells. Although I will say I have discovered a few reliable tells online that deal with pausing patterns before actions. 2: It is a long term goal/dream to start playing on the WPT and WSOP. For me it's not a question of finances. I could join today. It's a question of in person skill. Well, that's my situation and goals. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Other than that, the pauses probably have some significance.

Re: Going Pro in Atlantic City
while i don't have any advice, i just wanna say i wish you well...
and also, don't expect much advice from here, as from everything i've seen everyone on here is both completely and utterly against going pro, and pretty cold to newbies... oh well... have fun...

Read Dr. Al's Psychology of Poker. Poker is way to good of a part-time job to mess it up trying to be a pro.
If you are successful now, don't screw it up. Keep doing whatever it is that you are doing and just fly in to AC from time to time.

Re: Going Pro in Atlantic City
I appreciate such fast responses. This is my first time using 2+2. As far as anyone trying to discourage me from going pro, your too late. Like I said I've been pro for a year and I absolutely love it. My reason for choosing AC of all places to get in person experience is because I'm from the North East and I don't really want to move far away, although I do consider it. Is anyone out there live in/near AC that can give me advice on moving to the area?
