If you've read any of my previous post you know that I'm not intending to troll anything. I understand the chances of making it successful or high but I do know that I've been playing for a while and I know what I'm capable of doing at the table given the opportunity

I've never kept spreadsheets like I said earlier I play maybe 1015 times a year I'm some weekends two nights in a row. But I don't drink on at the table so no I'm not tipping the waitresses a lot of money in my tips on pots are very small even given the big wins.

I have read a few books and I do know a lot about the game such as pot odds and expected value like I've been trying to say in this whole post I have been contemplating it obviously if I decided to make that decision I would research it more before I jump in and take a few test runs

I honestly think your intentions are good and I've never said anything this harsh on here before, but forget this man. You come off as a joke and it's sad you don't realize it. Put your claimed strong drive and abilities towards your current career and make more money that way.

Play pokr with your friends or on vacation.

Marry someone you like have kids and enjoy life.

I don't think it's primarily skill that separates the average professional from the top one-percenters. The math is the math. Anyone can learn it. You aren't going to succeed at this because you know more than anyone else because there are a lot of poker career losers that know more than you do.

Persistence is far more important. I've read many many stories on professional players, and nearly all of them have gone broke at some point in their careers. Is that something you're prepared for?

As much as I like poker, I'm like frick that. There are not many worse feelings than being completely out of money and depending on the kindness of others to pull you through. I don't know about you but I hate depending on others to sustain myself. That's something you need to think about. How much crap are you willing to go through to maybe one day succeed at this?

Rather than reading books on poker theory maybe you need to do a quick google search and see what a lo t of the top guys from 10 years ago are doing right now. Guys like Erick Lindgren who were near the top of their game are broke and in debt. And he was a FTP pro and everything.
