i'm in pretty same situation like you. Here's my thinking.
i'm still a student. now im thinking if i go pro or stay on university. im 23years old.i've been playing poker seriously for 1,5 years.
i play NL100(with 7-15ptbb/100/ 5k$/month) average 5 hours per day. if i finish school i will hardly get a lot more then 1,5k€ with my electrical engineering degree. in my country Slovenia (central EU) is
average salary 800€. (i think doctors earn around from 1.7k€ to 2k€/ month).
in my country poker winnings is not taxed. i won't work never in regular job.
NEVER.
my plan is to built my bankroll (100BI/level) and move up as soon as possible. i play
only NL100 and i think that im already
above 90% population with my
5k$/month.
we will see how it goes, but for now i can say that's goes
incredibly well.
