Message: [QUOTE="CrockPot, post: 2305294, member: 112928"] Ok so I'm planning on playing both online (which I do already) and live. I've only played live a few times I really like the idea of facing your opponent, making friends, and being in the casino atmosphere. As well as playing from the comfort of home. So I'll be planning on playing both. I live in Kentucky currently so live poker is illegal and online poker is sort of a no no but not technically illegal. Though I can go right across the river to Cincinnati's Horseshoe casino and several riverboat casinos in Indiana. So live poker is only 20-30 minutes away from me. But eventually I would like to move to Las Vegas. I'm not currently sure how many hours I play and study but its a lot, As of now I will start keeping track so far today, I've played 0 but am going to in a few hours. I've watched an episode of the WPT, read a few Poker News articles and looked through the forums so I've studied about 2 hrs. And have currently had about 5 hours of free time. Health insurance I haven't really thought about I'm covered now but will start thinking about that towards the beginning of going pro (like 6 months prior), thanks for reminding me about that by the way. As for retirement, I like to think of Doyle Brunson in this situation and with any luck I'd still be playing at his age but I'm not super concerned about that at this moment I don't think I'd ever want to retire but I know that may change as I get older so I will be saving small amounts at first with gradual increase. I have two back up plans one would be to go through college and get a business degree. The other would be to become a truck driver. My grandpa was a truck driver and I think that would be okay for me because you still get to travel and have adventures as well as be your own boss. Yes 33.2% is my online MTT ITM. It had a big jump recently when I placed third in a tourney. I've been doing well recently I've kinda been on a bit of a heater so that probably explains the above par percentage. Don't worry you didn't come across as negative at all but you did come across as helpful so thanks! Also I thought about being a dealer as a day job until I lifted off making enough to completely support myself. So I guess that's also a third back up plan. [/QUOTE]
