[QUOTE="natsgrampy, post: 1676996, member: 56974"]
I have a friend whose son, at the tender age of 18, was living at home, and worked a part time job. He had zero responsibilities and could play at will. In his first year and a half playing, he Managed to lose about $8500. He is now 22 years old, and last year he "won" over $1MIL. His net was a little over 300K. 
 
  Watching him play I see someone who puts together the neccessary skills and the "I Don't Care" attitude. He was on the bubble in the WSOP ME day three and only needed make it for a couple more hours to be ITM. Sitting with a little below average chip stack. He shipped it with pocket 8's against the big stack at his table and lost. I asked him why and he said," he wanted to either be in the top 10% or out" I would have just wanted to be in the money.
 
  This is how these "pros" get to where they are. They have different priorities than many of us. Where as I don't want to lose my buy - in, he only wants to win the tourney. 
 
 I guess the answer is if you can and are [U]willing to[/U] outlast the inevitable downswings, You can accomplish making it big.
