Advanced: Reading Comprehension

Everyone who has ever played poker seriously has at least thought aboutmaking it a career. If youre thinking about going pro, then there are a

couple of questions to ask yourself.

How thick is my bankroll? - Debate is always raging about how much

money a person should have saved up in order to play at a pro level

without risking going broke. If youre going to play for a living you needto have enough money in reserve to ride out the short term fluctuations.

How easy would it be to return to my old job? - If your boss is one

of your best friends, and you know that you will get your job back, you

are probably good to go. On the other hand, if you think it would be hard

to return to your old job or find a new one, you might want to reconsider

leaving it in the first place.
