Hello, I recently moved to Vegas, I am 23 and have played poker for over 10 years , mostly online during the poker boom (well obviously as I just stated im 23
) anyways, the reason I am posting is that I am at a bit of a crossroads, I took the route of getting a job in Vegas as soon as moving here, I am a certified Security officer so finding employment and even moving up is and would be easy. My initial plan was to work 40 hours a week and try to play live 20 hours a week at $1/2, while this is still a viable plan there have been some factors I did not consider including nearly an hour of commute to and from work, probably closer to an hour total but it differs day to day, as well as expenses from my 6 month lease at my new appartment downtown, basically what Im saying is that im struggling to find a ton of extra time and energy to walk up to GN and play 1/2 or drive to the strip, what should I do? I have played probably 10-15 hours of live so far since arriving and am up a few buy ins, obviously too small of a sample size to quit my job and just grind, do I just work for months and play a few hours nightly of US facing online poker? Or do I man up and play 1/2 a few hours a night? I have Fridays and Saturdays off so that is a good thing considering I could play all day on the "best days" but I just havent, all opinions welcome, I absolutely love poker and would love nothing more than to play full time, its just not currently an option.
p.s I do have a few months of life roll that I dont use for poker, but my poker roll is not nearly where I would feel comftorable just moving right into live.
