I hate my job, could I become a great player ?

not unattainable whatsoever, however you will have to work hard. you will have to spend 40 hours a week on these forums improving your game, and then in a year or 2 you should have no trouble reaching that benchmark of yours if you are truly dedicated. 8tabling 3/6 at 3BB/100 will get you there. im currently averaging a little under 4BB/100 over 65k hands 8tabling and im no natural. ive been playing live b&m poker for about a year and have just moved into the internet world. ive just dedicated my time to reading these forums. that is all. rakeback at 8tables will get you an additional $25/hr to boot.

you can play over a skin of party and empire at the same time, or pokernow/eurobet whatever. they are all the same site. my most recent stats are posted here:

Dude, it takes me 4-5 years to make 140K, you take that down in one year. Shut up and quit whining. I'd be a male prostitute for deformed walruses for 140K a year man, geesh.

If you can only "afford" to drop down to 120K a year, you're:

1. Dreaming, there's very little chance you'd make that starting out, very few pro's can ever make that

2. Living too close to your income level, you need to live well below your means so it isn't an issue. Just because you make 140K doesn't mean you need to spend all of it.

Good luck to you either way, gimme 10 grand and I'll get started on building your bankroll. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Stick with your job, it's not even close. This is coming from someone playing professionally right now.

Do you just love to play poker ? then yes you will suceed.I dont think you will make it as a full time poker pro if youre only in it for the money...

[greywolf]

maybe working part time and using poker as a second income would be a good idea?
