    I would suggest this:

    Get a career, save for your future, DO THIS ON THE SIDE.

    you need to go to graduate school, or any professional degree other than bachelor's.  

    you can always come back to gambling, but gambling will ALWAYS come and clean you out if you go to it first....

    Any moron who is envious of this kid is doomed.  This kid is making the WRONG decision. But he knows it.  He will get a job soon.  He is not dumb, he knows he has to WORK in this world to get what he wants.

    CAPPING IS NOT WORKING...It's RISKING on an UNCERTAIN OUTCOME. 

    IT IS NOT a guaranteed income...
      You could have 3 guys in each locker room and still be a bustout.

    1 bad day and you double your bet size with a reduced bankroll? By the way it's Feb 18 and your nut isn't covered.That's why vegas says if you last 2 weeks you're a pro.Is this focused,disciplined and in control??

    I was thinking the same thing.  Why would you double your wager now.  You are chasing already

    I decided on one game. At $1100/$1000 instead of my normal 2 at $550/$500. How is that any different? Yet it's chasing... It's just a little different approach I want to take this evening. An odd time to raise I agree but I got a winner tonight

    If that was the case, then my bad.  

    I just hope this doesn't become a clown show with everyone micro-analyzing every decision he makes is all.

    A professional always bets maximum 10 percent of his load on one game, nothing more, nothing less.  he doesn't "believe" he has a winner, there is no sure thing, even if you win this, it's not good discipline....10 percent of your roll, on every game. PERIOD.

    Tdog- like I said I'm betting 2% of my bankroll when I bet $550 a game and now actually under 5% actually around 3-4% would be a $1100 play. I have right around 30K in my savings....

    I think 2% of the bankroll is appropriate.

    The idea that you should bet 10% of your bankroll on each game is absurd.  That is way too high.

    you dont do this to protect to your bank roll you can be down another k
    if you lose

    if you split it up on 550/500 you can at least go 1-1 and break even....
