Tell me why I can't go pro

[MAYHEM45]

I think you should definitely go for it man. If your family supports you that is a great safety net, and you also have us and this forum as a backup net as well.

I will be doing the same thing this summer, moving out with 4 friends and supporting myself entirely from poker. I may have a sweet $20/h factory job lined up that I may take if things dont go well, but when I am making 5 times that from the comfort of my air conditioned house, I may just not bother.

I dont think you are the blogging type, but I think it would be great to keep an online journal of sorts of your "year as a pro." It would help to look back when you are having a rough month, and I'm sure would be hilarious for others to read as well. I know I would.

Best of luck to you man.
