OP I just found your thread now but thought I'd like to share my experience as well
cause i'm in the similar situation as you 3 yrs ago.
I was in my first year in college at that time. However I wasn't really fond of what I was studying and as I am kind of an introverted person with social phobia, I hardly know anyone and made any friends in my class.These things combined made me really hate attending the class so I skipped almost all my classes during the semester and it goes without saying, I failed most of exams in that semester.
I am asian and my parents are the typical asian parents who want their kids to go to college, attain the degree and get a decent job which is the successful life of a person in their mind and that's what I have been told to do since I was born. But I really have no idea what I want to do in future and what I want to achieve in my life at that time.
So I thought what is the point of continue the study when I dun really know what job I want to do and given how much I hate the study.
At the same time, I just learnt how to play poker not long ago back then and was playing some SNG at micro limits with little success. I knew there is no turning back if I decide to quit the study but unlike most professional poker pokers who can make 60-70k+ per year, I wasn't even sure I can make 4 figure per month in order to pay for the rent and I only got 4-5 months living expenses saving up at that point.
Despite all this, after a quick and rash decision, I told myself fuck it I am gonna quit the college and play poker for living because that's the only thing I can do at that moment.
Since then, I fully focus on playing poker and during the first few months, things went badly against what I hoped for, I was hitting downswings after downsings.
At some point, all I left in my bankroll was only enough for one month of expenses.
I got panic and didn't even dare to think the consequence if I went broke. Luckily when I was about to give up everything, I somehow binked a MTT and won 11K.
This greatly boosted my bankroll and also my confidence of the game so I managed to turn things around and be able to pay all my rents and bills for past 2-3 yrs by playing poker.
Looking back, I am still not sure if my decision to quit college for poker was correct or not, things could definitely got a lot worse had I not won that MTT and I even kind of regret about not finishing the study when thinking about it sometimes .
I dun know, maybe it is just destiny, sometimes you always think you have made the right choice but only to regret it afterwards.
Anyway sry for the long wall of texts and my English isn't perfect as I am not native speaker.
I know it's cliche, but you only live once and you gotta believe who you are and do what you enjoy the most. Best of luck to your journey and whatever decision you have made OP.

I dont get it also shouldn't the formula be b/(b+1) instead as when P1 bets with sizing b it will show a profit for P1 if it works more than b/(b+1)
