Default is this goal possible, $20,000 by the end of summer

my goal this summer is to make $20,000 and if possible even more. my summer starts may 27th and ends august 25th. essentially 3 months. i plan on playing ALOT of live 8/16 at oceans and if/when i get my fake id, gonna hit up commerce 9/18 and possiblly the bike and hawaiian gardens simliar limits. also plan on continuing my usual online bonus whoring activities.

so is this a realistic proposition? on the surface, it doesn't seem easy but it doesn't seem all that unreasonable either.

Possibly, I have no clue about B&M play.

Wouldn't it be easier to play online tho?

Uh, what level are you playing and what is your winrate? That makes all the difference. It could be done at 3/6 and up if you put in a ton of hands, or it could be not too tough if you are playing 15/30.

We need a tad more info. Starting with: Are you a winning player? If so, what is your BB per hour or per 100 hands?

online, im just a low level bonus grinder. i play .5/1 and 1/2.

lets just take the online play out of the equation. is it possible to reach my goal playing strictly live 8/16

Based on your post, I'll assume no. Improve your game.

First assumption: You don't suck.

Second assumption: You can win 1BB/hour

Third assumption: You can put in a zillion hours without some irritated old <font color="black">[censored]</font> asking the floor to card you, or ever getting caught by the rent-a-cop at the door.

Fourth assumption: You play every day of June, July and Aug for 14 hours a day, with the exception of two days to relax and unwind.

90 days x 14 hours a day x $16/hour = $20,160.

No problem.

Based on your posts regarding other players (TV) and their ability, I must assume you have set your goals too low. Why not shoot for $100,000. You are obviously very talented.

commerce is not as glamourous as you think

also why not just grind out the online games and slowly move up?

bm is gonna be very boring. VERY boring
