first off, id like to say Chase, that i respect your decision to hang this game up for a while. If you're in it to make money and quick money at that, you will crash and burn VERY hard. you need to understand that a majority of pros have a passion for the game and a will to get better all the time. The money will follow, but you have to love this game. Playing poker as a means of sole income requires as much dedication as becoming an engineer, or being in the stock market. Some even think poker is HARDER than a lot of professions you can choose in life.

Do i think you cant do it? No, i dont think at your age you can make this happen. You may not think it, but there is a lot of growing up between 15 and 21, and emotion control is something many teenagers have difficulty managing. Its normal though. I wish you and your family the best of luck in your endevors.

And as for ping, seriously, can someone ban this clown already? Your high intellect and maturity MUST make it hard to fit in, in such a place as PFO. Get the fuck over yourself already. Really, noone admires an arrogant prick such as yourself. The kids 15 for christ sake. I pity you when you will someday show your own childeren this sort of cold behavior.
