It's a natural for any viewer of any poker program on TV to think about going pro - the glorious world of playing full time, making cash money, choosing your own hours, living it up in Vegas. And then of course, there's reality. For months, I've been reading Mike Cunningham's blog, a former track coach turned poker pro. Have you realized you can become a poker pro in mere seconds? What does it mean to go pro? It means you've quit your full time job and decided you're going to play poker full time. The subtitle of Mike's blog is: "It's easy to be a good person and to be a positive person when the deck is hitting you in the head. But what happens when the deck is hitting you in the nuts?" Evidently, the deck hit him HARD in the nuts. 9 months after his entrance into the world of professional poker, Mike will likely return to the track world. Bad beat. mikecunningham.blogspot.com Here's another blog tracking a man's quest to go pro and play full-time. http://stockfield.wordpress.com/
