I say go for it...Im headed out to Vegas this summer June (most likely) for a short time to play out there for a bit and hit up some tournaments...I play live now about 5-6 days a week between the 1-2 and 2-5nl tables with a few tournaments here or there. I've been using the money I've been winning to pay for college and stuff (Working on the Bachelor's right now) I didn't qualify for any grants or financial aid or anything since I work a full time job durin the day (the usually 8-5 M-F grind).
