Good luck!
I really appreciate the reply and yeah, I have heard that said on here before and I get it, I understand. Costly to get to tournaments, lodging, food on the road and on and on. Plus variance can make the toughest burly man cry like a teenage girl. However, I know that it is possible, others are doing it. Should it be your only source of income? Probably not. Will most fail that try? Yup. Will I? Nope. There are a lot of reasons for saying that and it will make a great future post.
