Sept 19th- WSOP Here I come

When I was four years old my grandpa started teaching me the game of poker. He himself was a professional poker player so I was learning from an experienced player. I didn't know that this game I learned fourteen years ago would be the career I still to this day want to pursue. I started kindergarden early because of my knowledge of poker. The teacher asked my mom why she thinks I have the ability to start earlier than normal. My mom said I am really good at math except I have trouble identifying the different pot odds of an inside straight versus an open ended straight draw. The teacher immediately said she thinks I was ready to start school. My poker is what allowed me to start school early and its what could be the factor that makes me end school early. If I succeed in poker I could seriously consider dropping out to pursue the professional poker career as did my grandfather. I have been saving up my poker winnings money to buy into the main event when I turn 21. It is a 10,000 dollar buy in and there about a couple thousand entries each year. First place generally wins seven-twelve million dollars and usually the top five hundred place in the money. I have always done exceptionally well in live poker games and I have won several live tournaments. Most of my saved money has come from my online play. Online play is what will get me my buy in but it doesn't prepare me for the main event because it is a completely different game and strategy. I can fluctuate in online poker way more than live poker. I have had days where I go from up five thousand dollars to down two thousand and vice versa. Live poker it is a lot harder to go back and forth like that. I always say I want to have a real career and be a professional poker player on the side. However, if I was to win the first place prize in the main event I could serious see myself just sticking to what I am good at...poker.
