Thanks for the spreadsheet Q.

Poker is stressful if you are playing good poker.

I play 30 hours/week now, and I have a full time job. But I am a degenerate gambler and I love poker.

FWIW, I would much rather do what you do than play poker for 10 more hours a week and not have anything else. Maybe a family of teachers/professors will do that to a person.

If 3 BB/100 is really just 'good' for you then why are you having such a hard time w/ deciding to be a pro?

QTIP,

Nice spreadsheet.

However, it does make me feel like such a sucker for not quitting my job right now. I mean I could pretty easily play 60 hours per week, 50 weeks a year, 12-tabling the whole time and running at a 4BB/100 clip. Piece of cake.

Thanks for doing the sheet. It is a nice tool.

Evan:

I didn't mean that to sound the way that it did, and probably the word "good" isn't the best choice. I have run 3.8BB/100 at 2/4, but always playing with serious donks as a result of serious game selection. If someone like you or others here were playing those tables, I'm sure you'd be in the 4+bb/100 somewhere.

I'm expecting this to drop some because of 8 tabling instead of 3 or 4.

Also, why the hard decision? Because I have a wife and kids to think about. ANY job change is dificult to think about.

I should have added [the ability] to change the rakeback %...but whatever.

How did you arrive at the rakeback numbers?

The spreadsheet is cool. Thanks.

raketracker.com has a rakeback calculator which is what I used. Some people think the numbers there are conservative..I think that may be the case just slightly.

This has been bothering me since I first read the post. Just now getting to it.

Do you really want to do this 50 weeks a year? Change the model to 45. You'll need the breaks and what's the point if you don't have more time?

Yeah. You can just change the forumla to see the difference. But, I hear what you're saying.

and don't think for a minute that you'll be able to play more than 30 hours a week at 2 BB/100.

33.25 hours in 1 week later of 8-tabling 2/4...

I still don't see what you were saying here PokerAce.

btw, notice that my vpip and my PFR% both dropped. I'm convinced that this is completed a result of not making isolation plays as frequenty based on reads, because I'm pretty much just playing ABC poker.
