    wow, I can't believe people are making a living playing poker. I am 18 and just started college and all I do most of my time is play poker. I want to be pro and make a 6 figure income. everytime I play in a freeroll tournament, my parent alway yell at me and tell me to get off and do my homework. But I won't gave up my dream on becoming pro. So could anyone gave me anyadvice on how to make money online playing poker?

    be less obvious with the multi accounting attempts.....

    but id say honestly, you just need to do less schoolwork and play more poker if you REALLY want to succeed

    No no no no no! Dont even think about quitting school untill you've had much success and been a profitable player for at least a year... Play when u have time but dont let it affect ur school work. I know I'm the wrong person to say this, but the chances of actually making it are SOOO small that u gotta be realistic and make sure u have a back up plan if this isnt for u. You'll know when the time is right.

    quit school ftw. It might be hard to support yourself on freeroll winnings but its worth it.

    gpa in high school really doesn't mean much except for what college you can get into. but even if you can't get into the shcool you want out of high school, all you gotta do is go to community college for a year, reapply to the school and you'll pretty much get in. high school gpa means nothing now. College gpa means something as far as getting a starting job (as per what I'm told). I forgot where I was going with this...

    But yeah, stay in school. Freshman and sophomore year are a breeze. Junior year gets kind of a lot harder (at least for me w/accounting). And now senior year is pretty damn hard as I'm sure next year for my masters will be...

    But really, there's still PLENTY of free time to play poker, drink, party etc.

    I would never trade my college experience for anything...best time of my life so far (aside from the studying and going to classes).

    PLEASE!!! Somebody tell me this is a wind up! Why are we taking this post seriously?

    "I won 1st acouple of time in 27 sng play money. I also won some freeroll that got me acouple of cent."

    Surely somebody is trying to get a cheap laugh at your/our expense?

    It this guy is serious it scares the crap out of me!
