Just some noodling...

$300 is enough to pay .10/.25 NL, or 10+1 SNG's.

At the $25 NL, I am not familiar with PP NL at that level, but played some at UB a year or two ago there. I would say 4 tabling you could pull in $10-15/hour pretty easily, which would build your roll up pretty quick.

At the S&G's, you could make the same 4 tabling (maybe a bit more).

You can build up pretty quick from $300, though playing limit is probably the slowest and most variance ridden way to go.

Having said all that, there is nothing wrong with getting a job, either.

Depends on whether or not you're going to be an uptight nerd or the fun type like me who goes to 50% of his classes tops [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Clayton,

I'm too lazy to look though your posts to confirm, and I'm too inconsiderate to devote your level of talent to the forefront property area of my memory, but the backyard area of my memory is telling me that I've read enough to know you don't suck at poker. If this is true, there should be plenty of money out there for you for staking purposes.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is true, my offer is still there for that .02/.04 stake if you ever want it Clayton.

I'd say its partially dependent on your major and partially on your personality. At UGA it probably won't matter much, though. You'll have tons of time.

Best avatar.

I cashed out $2K to pay off a lingering credit card bill. That move fire bombed my poker roll to $140, but to me it was worth getting rid of the debt. I'm up to $650, and now moving into 1/2 territory after a month of .5/1 purgatory. Just grind it out.

I don't know where you're going or what you're majoring in, but I go to a liberal arts college and have a MAXIMUM of 3.5-4 hours of class time per day. Usually I have two classes per day, one class on friday.

Yes you will have a [censored] ton of time to mess around, drink, slay women and generally enjoy yourself. Whatever you do, do not spend a majority of this time in front of a computer. You will be able to devote a couple hours a day to gambling without any detriment to your classwork or your drinking.

That is all.

Probably.

A sizable percentage of college students get part-time jobs and still find time for classes, homework and a decent social life. If you are going to Cal-tech and majoring in Warp Drive Physics, you might not have time, but otherwise you be fine.

Don't over analyze what you will or won't be able to do without any information. In a few weeks, you'll know for sure how much time you do or don't have.
