***ATTENTION PRO MTT'ERS/SNG'ERS***

[mikeymer]

I've recently been talking with a friend about officially trying out the pro poker route. I am a little nervous about it, and what my parents might think, but I think I have a good chance of being successful.

I cannot play cash games, I hate them, and in turn I don't play as well as I should. I used to "own" 25NL, 4 tabling on party and I probably couldnt even do that now. I want to play SNG's and MTT's, thats it. I feel like my game has really stepped up lately and the results have been good, making more money than I could have ever imagined.I have a couple of questions about this lifestyle, and feel free to chime in with any other advice you might have...

1. How Long have you been pro?
2. How Stable is your income? Do you incorporate SNG's?
3. How do you deal with the swings of MTT play?
5. Do you like your "job"?
6. Can you tell me your exact schedule if you have one, and do you always stick to it?

I am giving serious consideration to trying this out for at least 6 months, and would love to hear any insight, comments, and suggestions, as well as the answers to these questions... Thank you for your help. -Mike
