Message: [QUOTE="IntenseHeat, post: 5754004, member: 92488"] Obviously the more time and attention you dedicate to a particular pursuit, the more likely you are to be successful at it. I've heard plenty of stories of young players that left college to pursue careers as professional poker players. However, I feel as though most of them, if not all, had already achieved a certain level of poker success before making that decision. In cases like that, it makes sense. I don't think I've heard too many, if any, stories of an eighteen year old packing their bags and moving to Las Vegas to pursue careers as professional poker players. But if you've already been successful either live or online, it makes sense to think that if you dedicated more time to studying and playing that you could have even more success. There are also a lot of stories about players who have gone on to graduate, gone back to school or even gone on to pursue advanced degrees while achieving poker success. [/QUOTE]
