Well I have taken the leap/plunge/jump whatever; and quit my full time job to try and do this poker thing exclusively as my sole income...Not sure why i'm posting this here, I'm sure nobody cares, but I felt like I needed to tell some people and this is the only place that made sense..So, yeah, I'm not the really the type of personality to take such huge risks and leave a very nice steady income, but here goes nothing...Any advice (besides go back to my job)

Thanks everybody for the positive and negatives... I'm really at a loss for words right now. Without sounding "hallmarkish" (is that a word?) and sappy, I truly do appreciate the people here and things they say (when being intelligent that is) Hopefully I wont need to keep anybody updated on the progress, as you'll read about through Adam saying TC took first in this, and first in this....thanks again...cya at the tables....(during the day now!!)

Tranquil,
My wife and I both play for a living. Which came about more by necesity (sp?) than anything else. We both got laid off from our regular jobs. We have been doing well enough (after having only played Holdem for money for 4 months) that neither of us is in any hurry to get back to work.
Good Luck to you. NSXT gave the best advice.

You guys make a living off of $5 SnG's and MTT"s?
I'm not being a smart-ass here, I'm genuinely amazed. Would you care to elaborate?

Yeah, TQ, you heard two opposite messages but both were full of insight and sincerity. Great posts, Todd and Nip.

It's a lot of work, trust me.
The difference is "when you do what you love, you will never work another day in your life"

Seriously though ive been a non worker since.....well forever this is all ive done and i am glad, although sometimes i would like to go and blow something up. You can do it just make sure to manage your money wisely and dont put too much of your roll at risk, because we all know how badly it can go from time to time.

I AM doing it cause it truly doesnt feel like work while I'm "playing". All egotistical and owning bragging aside, but I feel I can ATLEAST make enough to pay the bills, if not make more money than I already do..or did.. Plus I wont have to wake up when someone else wants me to. I am free!!!!

Break a leg, if it doesnt work out I will be the first one to be jealous of the risk you took. You are young it is a lot easier to get another job then have to live for the rest of your life wondering if you really had to work for someone else. no good luck from me, stay smart and take luck out of it. Yourr the best buddy!

I think it will be the best decision you ever made. I am 22 and i know you're young too. No worries you got it.
