Got the letter this morning confirmng that I'm being made voluntarily redundant. So in a couple of months I'll be trying to make a living entirely from poker.
In my head I know it's the right decision I've made - I could have comfortably lived off poker for the last 3 years and have a 6 figure bankroll, but I'm still feeling uneasy about it and a bit sad to be leaving work colleagues and friends behind.

Yes, all the best.
I think I miss work colleagues and the cut and thrust "office banter" more than I miss the steady income.
I'd say it's ok to be a sad, but make sure you perk up before you hit the tables proper.

Good Luck And good advice ....you dont want to start on a negative..maybe take a break before you start. How much live V on line are you going to play ? |

Good luck, doubleup. Having played against you, I know you'll do very well. You're a good man who deserves every success when you're not playing me.  Hope to bump into you on an airport bus against soon  Latvia in October maybe? |

I miss work too......... Hehe, Doubleup, enjoy the freedom. Have a little break before you jump headlong into full-time playing. It'll help you to realise why you've left. |

Tnks all - good advice about a break as well - really thats what it's all about, playing a lot of poker and working = no life, so one or the other had to go.
