DO IT!!!
If playing full-time is a passion of yours, definitely take that chance. Obviously, know exactly what to expect-- BR, emotions, etc-- but go for it! There are many reasons not to, but don't let them affect you... as long as you're passionate enough to work hard, you should to do it!
If you're young, not married, & no kids (that you know of ), you gotta try to live that dream. Don't let anyone tell you that you "shouldn't," no matter what the reasons they give you. Yes, it's brutal, and extremely difficult to make a living... but if you love it, do it while you can!
If you go broke, or can't deal w/ the emotional swings, so what-- at least you tried. No one can take that away from you, but believe me, they'll try. Life is about PASSION, not about "what-ifs," or "I wish I would've tried." If you have the opportunity to play full-time, take advantage of this time--
If I was in my early 20's again, and loved the game as I do now, I would've thrown everything in the middle... and gone for it. Instead, I have to settle for supplementing my current income, by squeezing 55 hrs/wk into 4 days. I don't have the massive pressure of needing to make enough to pay my mortgage, but I also don't know the true freedom that is Full-Time Poker.
Good luck if you try... and I do hope you try!
