poker_cutie 0 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Deepends if you are serious about school or not, if you are then you should finish school you can always try poker after you get a degree and can get a job if poker doesnt work. Its always hard to go back to school once you leave. Link to post Share on other sites

KowboyKoop 0 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 this falls under the "I'll believe it when I see it" category. Not saying there is no way that it could be true, but....there is certainly reason to be skeptical. Wait and see I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites

alf13 0 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 What do I think?What is the split? and is he crazy, or does he just want to throw away money?If I were you I would jump at the idea......It is also funny that he is not offering you a "Satellite Roll" to EARN your way in to these events....That is what makes me think that your post is Bullshat.

thatguy 0 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 There are a lot of people who go to college and play semi-professionally. I don't see why it has to be one or the other. Link to post Share on other sites
teneight 1 Posted November 15, 2005 Author Share Posted November 15, 2005 There are a lot of people who go to college and play semi-professionally.

Tailspin 0 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 School will still be there the next year if it doesn't pan out.. as long as you aren't putting up a lot of your own money, you dont stand to lose a lot. Link to post Share on other sites
silkyjonson 1 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 its tough to get back into school. although that is a meaty proposition, why dont you try to do a little bit of both, do school part time and poker part time. But if your not gonna be serious about school then screw it and take the offer, and hopefully its not some old dude thats gonna try and have you sit on his lap.......lol.......jk Link to post Share on other sites

missIdaho 1 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I usually would not advise some one to drop out of school, but if this is something you really want to do I think you should give yourself a time line........like maybe one year. If you aren't successful you go back to school the next year. Sounds like a wonderful opportunity. I'd do it. Link to post Share on other sites
project240 0 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Teneight,I think I'd definitely go for it. If this guy is serious, ask yourself this question... When, if ever, will I get an opportunity like this again. Once you realize the answer is most likely never, that should help make up your mind. School is not going anywhere.
