I played professionally before Black Friday in the United States.

It is possible, but if you are relatively new to the game, the goal should be to become the best player you can -- and to be constantly learning -- rather than worrying about "turning pro."

How much money you can win everyday is like 99% dependent on your bankroll.  An amazing day for a .01/.02 NL player is like one buyin for a $1/$2 NL player.

Even attempting to turn pro, you should have at the very least six months money to cover ALL of your expenses, and probably at least a year's worth.  And that isn't counting your playing bankroll, which, if you're playing professionally, should have at least 200-300 buyins to the game you are playing regularly.

People look at playing professionally as a very glamour lifestyle... it really isn't, its a ton of work.  If you work 8 hour days at your regular job, expect to be putting in 12-16 for 5-6 days a week at least to be an online pro.

And during those 12-16 hours, you are going to be in a ton of high-stress situations that are ALL going to affect how well you eat for that month.

You can make a very good living doing it, but there's far too many people out there that think "going pro" is a very easy thing to do, and its far from it.
