Well, I did read it. Thank you for sharing...

I am old enough to be your father so I can relate and understand the kind of worries your relatives are having.

You should always have a plan B ready what ever you do. Ten years from now your opinion might be different from what you are feeling today. I'm not telling you to back off from poker. I'm only saying that you should be prepared if things don't work out.

20-30 years back when many of poker success stories emerged the world was different. The Internet was still at its infancy, online poker was still new, and the overall skill level of players was lower than it is today. Back then there truly was more fish in the sea. Sure, we do still have drunk/dumb/etc. players on the field but not that much.

First you should have a honest review of your skill level. What games (if any) can you crush at a comfortable level? What are your leaks? Do you have a good track record?

Once you are a good enough player (and you can prove it) you could apply to some poker stable and become a backed horse. Just make sure that you choose wisely so you don't end up in debt. Some of the stables provide also training.

Am I a pro? Not even close. I'm just someone who wants to think things through hundred times before jumping in the deep end. The Internet is filled with information so do your own research!
