Message: [QUOTE="Sean Pilgrim, post: 1368031, member: 53779"] If you want to attempt this. Here's some suggestions. If you're playing live: 1. Don't quit your job. I don't know how much you make but for me I put aside 10%-20% of each paycheck into a savings account which is my poker money account. 20% of my paycheck is $250. 2. Do this for every check you have until you reach $2500. Biweekly 10 Checks. 3. Play $1/$2 NL. On Fridays and/or Saturdays only for 5 weeks. You'll generally make some money on these days in particular. Of the money you have made/lost. Calculate how many hours you spent there that day. 3a. If you have lost money. Don't even think about playing for a living.[b]*[/b] 3b. If you have made money. Continue on to step 4. 4. If your work entitles you to paid vacation time. Use it. 5. That whole week you are off go to your card room. Play Monday - Friday for the same hours you would normally work, including a one hour away from the table lunch break. 6. Saturday. Recalculate your profit/losses per hour. If you are down 15% or more for the week. You need more training and you're not ready for it. [b]*[/b] 3a. If you lose money on Fridays and Saturdays to recreational players. No way you could swing with the regulars, the players who ARE there to make money. So don't even try. -------------------------- This is what I did to start. My live bankroll is growing with each day I play. Definitely not enough to live off for playing poker but I am happy that I started with $2500 and now my savings account is nearing $7K after 2.5 months of playing live generally 3 - 4 days a week for 4 - 5 (sometimes 8) hours of play each session. I know it sounds like I'm making enough to live off of right now because of the near $4,500 in profit, but I took a bad beating a couple weeks ago when I ran into a straight flush when I held the Ace high flush against a lucky loose semi-donk who accumulated near the same amount of chips as I had and he had only been there for 1 hour. I took an $800 hit and I should have walked once I hit $800 but I was putting my chips in racks and then was dealt the Ad Kd, flopped the nut flush, he flopped a straight flush. The chips remained in the rack as they we're slid across the table to him. So just take it into consideration. [/QUOTE]
