Get a bigger bankroll. Grind small, until you save 10K, then go pro.
If you start at 600, it'll take you 150 hours or less to double at 1-2, then another 150hrs or less to double at 2-4
then another 150hrs to double at 5-10 then another 250 hrs at 5-10 to bring you to 10K. Thats a total of 700hrs which is probably much less if you play multiple tables well.
700 hrs is 35 weeks at 20hrs a week. That is all you need.

Good advice all. I was actually considering this, albeit only very slightly. The only live poker I can play is 1/2 or 2/2 no fold'em, meh. I was actually more interested to hear if anyone had every done something similar. I know ZeeJustin dropped out of school to play and the story of Scotty Nguyen grinding it out on penny tables until he built his bankroll, but no specifics on either.
