Currently I'm unemployed (Laid off) and haven't been able to find work after being at the same job for 10 years. Secondly its my family thats helping with the financial and emotional support so highly doubtful the relationship will go south. My goal is to give it one full year of 1/2 NL and see where I'm at next year, if its positive then I continue. However if its not then I simply fall back to what I was doing. My plan is very basic and simple. I have put alot of time into drawing out a schedule with my family to discuss all the details so its not like Im dropping everything. I do however love and appreciate the responses
Personally I would look at it like this.
Do you enjoy it?
Have you enough money to get by for the next 6-12 months if you don't win via poker.. could you take on a small part time job just to pay the bills?
Will leaving your job for 6-12 months (assuming it dosent work out) make all that much difference?
Do you have a family to support?
Basically if you are young, free and single, have enough money to buy food and pay the rent for a year and feel that if you quit your job next week, you would have no difficulties finding another in a year's time..... then why not?
