I spent quite a bit of time today with you (assuming you use the same name on party) at 5-10 tables and you seem solid. I look forward to reading your posts. Good luck!

I highly recommend these for hanging clothes on. Much better than the treadmill it sits next to which just collects dust.

i dont recommend living with your parents while trying to make a living on poker. maybe the situation is fine with you and your parents, but i think you should prove to yourself that you are self-sufficient before deciding to go pro. your 15k bankroll is plenty enough to live comfortably outside the home. if you do however decide to play it safe right now and stay at home, make sure that you set goals for yourself. maybe move out when you reach 20k, or when you have 30k hands logged in at 15/30 and are averaging a hefty salary. either way, its easy to postpone the goals youve set for yourself when are facing the verge of independence. as a fellow "professional", take it from me when i say that your life will almost certainly be in better shape when you are living on your own.

i hope everything works out for you.

The living with my parents thing is only temporary. Lived on my own after high school, came back this last year, didn't make enough to pay for my own place. I have enough now that I am currently looking for a place (house hunting tomorrow). Thanks though [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Silly question.

If you subscribe to the 300BB before moving up a level does'nt that assume you only play one table at a time.

I would think that playing 8 tables of 15/30 would require more than $9,000 of working Bankroll.

Not to mention don't most professional gamblers recommend that you only use less than 5% of your entire bankroll during any session.

multi tabling requires the exact same bankroll as 1 tablem because you are just getting in more hands an hour at the same limit. for example: you dont need a bigger bankroll to play at one of the TURBO tables.

I'd like to expand that silly question just a bit. I think a 300BB dedicated BR is assuming single table play, correct? Then when you start adding more tables, I would think that the dedicated BR requirements would increase, but probably not by 300BB per table played. I have no idea what they would be though. Anyone???

[TheMetetron]

They don't increase... That being siad I prefer 500 BBs...
