My question is along similar lines. Are there really that many people making heaps of money off poker? Like I get that the people at the top of the heap probably make millions, but what about your average professional player?
No, there aren’t that many. A solid mid-stakes online pro can easily make $10k/month, but you have to be pretty smart and dedicated to get that good.
As for your return to college, Teddy, I say why not? I understand the loss of freedom you’re worried about, but you can just take things semester by semester and stop if you decide it’s no longer worth it. You’d be no worse off then than now, no?
