    I agree with everything you have said. As a full time network administrator, while still taking classes, I can only play every so often...(Mainly thursday nights and saturday day.) I have no pressure on me b/c I don't play to pay bills. I honestly would never even think of going pro. I put my self in a position to make guaranteed money, and I know later on in life if I have a family, I would want more security.

    Best of luck to you Roland.

    I chose work over poker. Wasn't easy, but in my heart I felt I couldn't handle the swings or a long term losing streak. My ego and inability to accept defeat, even when taking a bath financially, swayed my decision to put stability...even if seemingly boring...first.
