I agree with part of what your saying.  A lot of the live players are really, really bad.  I am one of those "young kids", and have only played 2 sessions of 1/2, but a lot of the play I've seen has been pretty poor.

My question is...when/how often do you play live?  I've only played on Friday/Saturday nights.  You run into a lot of "recreational players".. A lot of people that know the rules but don't quite know the strategies, who got the permission from the wife to go hang out at the casino for a couple hours.

I wonder what type of players are playing on Wednesday afternoon?  I mean, if you're planning on playing 40-50 hours per week, I feel like you are playing against an extremely different demographic on Wednesday afternoon as opposed to Saturday night, and you might assume that your "expected win rate" would change if you aren't playing against a lot of the "recreational players" during a certain time.

Just a hypothesis.  As for the OP, I agree with what everybody has said before  Definitely keep a savings for only expenses.  And I would suggest some sort of part-time job as well, even if its just 15-20 hours per week. (a guaranteed paycheck, as opposed to uncertain poker session result).  I would also try to align the PT job with a time where it isn't as profitable to be playing poker (ie, not a waiter, friday and saturday nights are juicy at the 1/2 table!)

Another note: I would run this by the fiance before you even think about doing it.
