Turning Pro

Dave,

At what point in your game did you decide that you were ready to turn pro/semi-pro?
ie: enter larger stakes tourneys

I am not interested in doing it myself right now, but I would like to hear some details from you on the decision making process. It may also help others who consider it at some point.

Thanks, Don

PS, Kick some a$$ in Vegas. :wink:

    I am not a pro. I am not a semi-pro. I am an amateur player. Personally, I have never given this question much thought because poker is a passionate interest of mine (I have others although poker is the BIG one) but I have NO desire to play for a living. I would not enjoy the lifestyle.

    I have always simply played at the level which was challenging both personally and to my bankroll. Poker if FUN. It is the most fun when the adrenaline REALLY gets pumping. So, even though I finished third in our local tournament last night -- that's fun, but not NEARLY as much fun as being on the bubble in a WSOP tournament. I am basically a fun seeker.

    I kind of consider you to be in the semi pro class, but I guess it's your call. lol Thanks for the reply. See you at the May18th tourney if you're around.

    PS, I tried your "beer or two" suggestion last tourney. (May 4th) It worked like a charm. From now on, 2 beer per tourney. :lol:
