Launching a Professional Poker Player

Could I become a professional poker player? This is a question that gradually became important enough for me to answer by changing my life and relocating to Las Vegas. The question itself arose from four years of constant poker work and play in the Seattle area. The Seattle game had limitations. The games were capped at low betting limits. The players were mostly locals, pushing the same chips back and forth for years. The casinos were small and often fought each other for the same group of players. After a few trips to Vegas to see the differences in the games there, it seemed that a move there would be prudent if I wanted to succeed as a professional poker player.

Now, just two weeks and couple of days after completing the move to Las Vegas, I'm starting this blog to document the experience, to record useful information and to report results and observations.
