But wouldn't losing 1/2 your br in 2 weeks show a lack of discipline?  Certainly online you can always smack yourself down.  Also you can always calculate a reasonable buy-in based on your own personal rules of BR management.

It seems most of the pros have advice on whether or not to go pro in the first place and when you can consider yourself to be a pro...

I'd like to toss in an odd kind of observation.  Someone who grew up lower middle class to poor, might be better suited to the life of a professional poker player.  I'm not meaning big name pro.  I'm meaning someone who grinds out a living at it...

I know that sounds strange but I was mulling it over for a long time.  A person who grew up on the poor side is better equipped for a hand to mouth existence.  They surely would need someone to intervene quite quickly on the matter of BR management because when you're used to having to struggle to make ends meet, it makes you ill prepared for managing money properly.  Still, with that kind of background, an extended downswing would be easier to live through.

I know that sounds like a very strange contribution.  I just know that it's a lot easier to be poor when you already know how to be poor.
