I Didn’t Turn Pro With My $60,000

By now, most of you have heard about the Italian poker player who won $60k in a poker tournament, quit his job to turn pro and then couldn’t get his money.

This story reminded me of a potential turning point in my life where I was thinking about possibly trying to play poker professionally.

It was late 2007 and I was contemplating what had been a fairly solid summer at the tables. I hadn’t hit any type of life changing scores, but I was playing well enough that I felt that I would get there in time.
