Message: [QUOTE="takinitSLEAZEE, post: 6647790, member: 79787"] Hey Dobbler1. I, myself, get a heavy finger while tapping away on the laptop so you're in good company for exercising your right to make w.o.w. (wall of words). I've been thrust into "big-decision" mode as well. I've recently been having some problems w/scripts which interferes w/my work performance, so I've had to compensate for the lack of funds. And since I live in a throwback country that will not allow online throughout the land, it's the brick & mortar clubs where I'll dangle my hook. After about a month of playing, on average, 2 trnys a week I'm back in the black. I've made 4 FT's in the last 4 trnys and cashed 3 times; all were just over $500 US, (thank you CC, btw, for the ever-present advice and support ;)(y)). I have to admit I was a bit timid to go and get back out there and play live again. It took a little bit to see how everyone was playing but eventually I got into their groove and then, ultimately, my own. Now, after almost condemning the thought of playing poker professionally that's exactly what I'm doing. Funny how things work out. I guess it took me a bit to wrap my head around the thought of my bills, car payment, and essentially my next meal hanging on the flip of a card. But now, it seems, I've stepped out of one poker lane and into another. I think I struggled really bad for a couple of days, the mental part of it that is, and then it was like the clouds parted and poof... I'm surrounded by fish or something. I went and started reading some books that had gotten a bit dusty. Just some fundamentals from the live side from back in the day; Doyle, Dan, Gus. Watched some videos/streams of some regional play to get familiar w/the scene. And now I'm looking at poker in a new light... Again. LOL! My point is go for it. Give it a bit. Don't jump into the deep end or anything. Since you live in Canada and online is thriving you should be able to make burger flipping wages at least. Coupled w/some theater or maybe even some stand-up you could become self-employed in no time. I wish you the best of luck and look forward to reading more posts of your progress. [/QUOTE]
