Would it be possible for you to cut your hours down to 20-30 per week? If so, you could take say half of that time (10-15) and use that for poker. I know you like playing live, but I am SURE you could and would be a long term winner online if you played there more. I suspect you would win muc more per hour online that you do live, but who knows, so ignore that for now.
Anyway, by doing something like that, you'd still have some amount of guaranteed pay to fall back on and cover your monthly bills, but you'd be giving yourself a chance to take poker more seriously... AND you'd have 10-15 more hours of FREE TIME every week too.
Maybe it's not possible for you to work part time at your job... If it's all or nothing, I'd have to recommend sticking to the job. But that would surprise me... I would think you should be able to work out a part time deal, assuming your company doesn't want to completely lose you.
