Trying to deal with college when all you want to do is play professional poker is a simple situation for anyone to resolve. It’s the same as a guy that has a job and wants to quit to “go pro”. My opinion on this issue remains the same: Your bankroll will dictate whether you can be a professional or not. If you’re in school and you win a large sum of money in a tournament, then you have the option to take some time off and play fulltime.

If that doesn’t happen, you have to continue to build a life for yourself. Turning pro is done when one can afford to make that leap, not a choice of vocation with no bankroll. If you think you can build a large bankroll grinding in limit games if you had more time, wait for your summer vacation and give it your best shot.
