Default turning pro

I have recently decided to play poker full time, I will be without a job starting February 1st, and have decided to post my progress in a weekly updated blog. If any of you are interested in following my progress, maybe as a learning experience or just out of curiosity, follow the link in my signature to my blog. I have left the comments option open so you can comment whenever you feel like it; maybe help me out from time to time. Thanks.

Do you have expenses (rent etc.) and/or dependants? I also seen that you were going to concentrate on SnG's & MTT's with 1 day (out of 50 hours per week) dedicated to cash. Big mistake IMO. As a former SnG/MTT zealot, I tell you that the cash tables is where the money is. BTW - What site will you be playing at with what handle?

Not true

stars sngs have an excellent bonus system. the 27's and 60's are still very beatable and supernova is attainable even only playing 27's.

and if you play sngs there is no reason not to play a few mtts a week/day


However, I think you will fail

I play on Bodog, Poker Stars, Full Tilt and I used to play Doyles Room Before they Kicked the US members out. the Handle I use now is Texkix.
I have a little over a year of documented SnG's on bodog playing around 25 hrs a week, and I know I can make $25 per Hour in SnG's. As far as expenses I don't have any Kids, I own my own house but am renting it out at the moment, and I will be only paying $250 per month for rent this next year. I have Zero debt, plus $10,000 I have invested in Prosper.com which I can take money from if I get in trouble. Aside from that I have a backup job at my Unit, where I can work a day or two whenever I need it.
Any other advise please feel free to share, Thanks.

Good luck, sir.

Many before you have tried, and most of them have failed miserably.
