Hi I am new to the forum but not new to poker. I was just looking for some advice for the more serious poker players out there. I am 23 and have decided to pursue the life of a professional poker player. Im headed to vegas with a $3500 bankroll here in a few weeks and was just looking for some pointers, like from which levels to play to which casinos. Basically any advice would be helpful thanks.

Is it a joke?

If not, the only advice I can give you is don't do it. Finish college, find a job, or if you have one, by all means do not quit it. You are not ready to become a professional poker player (it's an understatement). If you were, you wouldn't be asking these questions.

Ok, I'll answer just one of them: you are not sufficiently rolled even for the smallest stakes.

By all means go ahead, I'm sure the the real pros could use a few extra buy ins!!!

Im also going with 3500 but only to play a couple small buyin tournaments and cash game. But if your serious about going pro your going to need atleast 20k

I did the same thing first day MGM sat there for six hours finally check raised a all in and made some money. Then i realized i just wasted six hours and if i do that everyday i am not going to get to experiance much of vegas sitting at a table all day. Wanted to play poker just to much to do in vegas to sit patiently. i recommend playing downtown around gold nugget stakes are lower and buffets cheaper. Learned to play craps at binions on new years 2010. 3$ min what a streak gf rolled 27 times no crap i rolled right after 18 times no crap what fun.
