gambling for a living

well, if you want to do it for a living, here's my advice:

1) get pokertracker
2) I'd play at least 50,000 or so hands before you think about doing it as a living
3) look at your win rate, and your hourly rate, and figure out how much you'd have to play to pay all of your expenses.

I've made a living for about 5 months 4-6 tabling 2/4 and 3/6, but I'm a college student and don't have a whole lot of expenses. (I can live pretty comfortably for less than $1k a month) but it's a stressful living, if you ask me. I'd much rather have another job, there just aren't any that pay a 19-year old as well as this.
