Advice on becoming a professional poker player?
I know people don't take it very seriously when someone says " I want to become a professional poker player " However, I am not trollling. I have been playing poker since I was 8 years old, so a little over 10 years now. I am in my first year of college, and am realizing that there is no major any school can offer me that I am interested in. For what seems to be my entire life, I have wanted to become a professional poker player, and it has been rejected and kicked aside by family. Clearly only because they do not wish to see me fail. However, I have made my mind up, this is something that if I don't try now, I feel I will regret it my entire life. I may only be 18, but I have much more experience than most. I go to 9 different bars a week, and play the freerolls they offer I apparently look much older than I am . My plan was to hold a small job for about a year or two, and save up to about $10,000 to use as a bankroll. That leaves me at the age of 19 20. Which is fine. The legal age to gamble in the USA is 18, casino's only restrict people to being 21 because they serve alcohol. I know of a casino that is a 5 hour drive from me, that accepts players who are 18 years old, due to the fact they don't serve alcohol Turning Stones Casino in Upstate NY . Fortunately for me, I have a friend who lives 20 minutes away from the casino, and has offered to let me stay there for a few months if I attempt to try and follow my dream. I have grown up reading poker books from the best, getting first hand experience on a nearly daily basis, and learning from the pros whether it be on TV, online videos, or articles. I take any information I can get. I know people say it's a game of luck, but I don't believe that. Using good techniques, moves, and reads, along with strong discipline with bankroll management, I believe I am capable of becoming a professional poker player. My plan is to make $10,000. Go live up by turning stones casino Play good bankroll management Cash games 2.5 5 % SNG 1 2 %Tourney 1 %And just try to keep at it and win in the long run. Before someone says " Keep going to college, you want to have a back up" Please. I have heard that from many people, but I truly have thought about it for years, esspecially now, I do not wish to continue to go to college and become $100,000 in Debt. for a degree that I don't wish to pursue. Any kind of advice would be greatly appreciated. I thought my family would be the greatest hurdle here, but they know how much I have wanted this moment to atleast say I tried. Mainly looking for any suggestions on how I go about this. Things like " Dealing with a $10,000 bankroll in live games." Or when will I have reached enough money to move to vegas and try to pave my road to success there, $100,000? Etc.Thanks.

How old do you have to be to play live poker tournaments?
My 18th birthday is coming up on April 30, and I was wondering if me being 18 would allow me to go out to find some poker pubs and try to win some cash.I always play online poker about 3 hours a day on average and have been playing for fun since the age of 12.
