This year ive made over 4,000$(was burned at pokercosmo, but you live and learn) compared with 2,300$ total for last year(the year I tought myself the wacky game of texas no foldem holdem)
I quit my 50,000 a year job and moved into my parents basement, so I could focus on becoming a poker pro. It also helps with the not having a mortgage(financed my move from .50-1.00 to 2-4), food bills(mom cooks a mean turkey),and car payment(borrow moms car)
I normaly play 50-80 hours per week. Usually 2 or 3 games at once. Watch TV at the same time or play the XBOX(which I bought with some of my winnings) so the time flys. Next thing you know ive fell asleep in front of the 3 monitors(Much to my chagrin having used a couple of all ins.) and I wake up to put in another 12 hours. After eating a turkey sandwish of course.(Turkey sandwiches are great cold!More time for playing!)
My goal is in 3-5 years to make 37,000 then the skys the limit!
Upside of becoming pro.
My quality time with parents.
Dont have to wash car. that always sucked.
have not missed survivor yet.( I always used to forget to set the vcr when i was called on an emergency)
Making tons of online friends!
Downsides of becoming pro,
Lost girfriend(think she left me because of the car) Oh well her loss!( Could actually move this to an upside, You should have seen how that girl spent my credit cards!)
Thats it!
P.S. Trying to get a free cruise using the frequent player points at Ultimat Bet, should take me 7 years. Piece of cake!
