Weekly Earnings.

[aesic]

I have been playing poker for several monthes now and have recently decided that I would like to obtain a "steady" extra income of $100-$200 per week for college spending money (I play .5/1 NLHE at UB). From my experiences I believe that $100 is a very achieveable goal for me. My question is, what is the best way to make this a "weekly income."

One way to do this would be to play until I make $100, then stop for the week. For example, if I make $100 on Monday in the first 2 hours, then I would not play for the rest of the week. The other option would be just to play as much as I want/can and see what I earn at the end of each week.

Stoping at $100 would be more steady, but at the same time would stop me from winning more. Also, if I have a week of loss, I would never be able to conteract the loss.

What seems to be the best policy (this might be common knowledge but I don't know it)? Also, out of curiosity do professional poker players stop when they win their weekly/monthly earnings goal, or do they keep on playing (I'd think that they keep on playing).

Thanks,
