Figure it out for yourself because it's different for every player.

Can I /thread myself? Is that a thing?

There are a lot of players who had gotten pretty deep in a live tourney and then think they are great players.

Cash game is a whole different animal.

You have a young family and should think really hard before trying to play poker for a living.

Whatever you do, make sure you handle it in such a way that she's not mentally preparing divorce papers when you leave for the cardroom.

I'd try to explain it to her that it's a hobby -- like you want to buy fishing equipment or a snowmobile or something -- but you're going to spend that $ on your poker "hobby" instead if you lose it (but you could win!)

Also keep in mind if you want to play for a living, very few non-gamblers are going to even begin to understand what you're doing and, well, it sounds like your wife may be in that boat. Look to the long term and try to play a couple sessions a week while keeping your job for a year or two. That way, you'll know if you're winning and she'll have time to get accustomed to the idea before you take a huge plunge that might hurt your marriage.

Looked at one hand starting at around 12 minutes, overcalling with 55 on K72r and stopped right there.

Don't play poker for a living.

U can't say that when u are watching 1 hand I already set that I am not perfect I play as well sometimes not good a hand.. No body doing that !

Some helpful factors left out, or I missed them. Are you going to play casual or full Time? What is your playing style? What type of games do you have access to? Some small games play large, and some large games play small. Are your games loose passive, tight aggressive, full of seasoned players, or people who want to say they gamble when they go to work Monday morning? This makes a huge difference in how large a bankroll you need.

How you play is a very real factor. If you play loose passive, which is the most 'average' from what I see at lower limits and read here, I am guessing you need $3 K as your variance is/will be high. If you are really the Rock of Gibraltar and happy playing that style, what you have is fine if it can be replaced.

As for your playing style ask someone with a clue who knows you, and who you can trust. We tend to hold inflated views of our abilities. What we think of ourselves should not be trusted.

You're right, I don't have the evidence to back it up. I do however strongly believe that you should not be doing this and having played thousands of hours I have quite some experience in judging peoples game in a very short time, often I'm right.

The fact that you mention you finished the session with a profit is laughable and supports my claim. If you had lost that session (which happens like 40% of the time even when you have a decent edge), would you have used that as an argument against your skills?

No, i mention that set that because thats mean that i didn't played so bad, sometimes u play well and u loose as well, sometime u played and u win as well, thats poker but i think when u wanna play for live u have to look all your mistake

Well you are right that you should look for your mistakes and then think about what to do differently/better next time. If you do that your game will improve as long as you can be honest with yourself about what mistakes you're making and can actually figure out the right way to fix them.
