I just turned 30 yesterday and now I'm starting to feel my dream slip away if I don't act on it. I've got to pull my lazy ass together, step up in limits, and risk losing everything now by quitting this job and hitting the life of a pro or it may never happen.

I'm just feeling old and having some kind of crisis. Sitting down for a few hours and making a couple hundred 3 nights a week just doesn't do it for me anymore. I need to take it up a notch and start showing up on TV. I know that I can outplay a lot of these so called pros.

Enough of the insinuation, why the hell would I be joking?

Because surely anyone contemplating going pro would understand that TV hands are presented in a complete vaccuum and are a horrible way of evaluating a player's skill? Because surely anyone contemplating going pro is doing it because they expect to earn an acceptable wage, not because they want to "be on tv?"

I'm not even talking about individual hands, just general idiot behaviors. I mean really, Randy Jensen? WTF?

Hi Indiana. I am at a crossroads as well. This is what I am doing...

I am buying a roundtrip ticket to a big American city for a 3 day trip to play poker in the higher limits. The airfare is low cost and so are expenses for a trip like this. You can try it out for a few days and see how you like the life and the poker. Now you can never say to yourself darn I wish I tried it because I know I could beat that 10-20 or 20-40 for 1.5 bb/hr [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] raise on!
