When to go pro?

[RikaKazak]

why add fuel to the fire? = for $80 a month and another sign up bonus, that's why. Plus when he moves up it will be that much more.

Set goals. Reward yourself for completing the goal. Here is what I do.

I play 50 games a day anything over and above 50 games in 1 day goes towards my parlay BR. SMTW & F (I take thursday off) On saturday is pure parlay day. If my parlay account is positive I reward myself with a shot at a higher limit with my extra BR.

This works for me because I don't function well unless I have something higher to aim for. For you it might be a new toy, computer upgrade, drugs, or maybe a hooker.

If you simply can't force yourself to play 50 a day then I don't know what to tell ya. Once you get into the habit, it feels easy, then you start playing a couple of 60 and 75 tourney days. If you contine to only play 100/wk then you will hit a very very nasty run and unless your BR is Uber Phat then you will suffer. When you suffer your first long even swing over 1k SnGs at the 109s you will hurt. It can happen. It will happen if you play enough.

the sign up bonus is subtracted from the rakeback. thus, its not as good. holla

I personally would love to go pro know I can make what I make now but with a newborn and benefits/retirement etc will have to stick with job and grind out 20 hrs a week on line if possible.

I haven't ever played long hours, but I don't think I've ever once not played just because I didn't feel like playing anymore. Honestly, 40 hours a week doesn't seem like it would be a problem. Maybe I'm just an addict.

its not that it is a 'problem'

its just so easy to get distracted...and after having a good run, there is (at least for me) a natural tendancy to wanna have a little fun

Yep, and I look at is as a loan. Every business needs a loan for capitol to start out. 90% of new start ups fail. If im one of them-bankruptcy here I come.

I know how rakeback works. it's subtracted from MGR not from what you receive, so if you get rakeback and lets say $100 bonus, you essentially don't get the % on the bonus. example, you get 29% rakeback, you do $100 bonus, your profit $71 overall MORE THAN you would receive with just rakeback.

p.s. I currently don't give rakeback, but I was one of the first back in pp in the day to do it, so I know how it works, thanks.
