Wow that post ended up being a bit long and more like a blog entry than an advice post.

BankItDrew nailed it, really. Maybe switch points 4 and 5.

Is there anyone on FTR who went pro and has since then decided to get a real job? I'd love to hear that side of the story.

Also, paging Fnord for comments on how poker is a great hobby and maybe not a great job.
