well my goal is to keep risking and going higher in stakes.. by not "Being too nitty" you can have a bad month and end up being "too nitty" instead. Hope that made sense ><

This is meant for people who have a rent, etc, if your living with parents or w/e this discussion doesnt even make sense

If I get that job, then perfect, I'll take it, be a weekend grinder again and never even think about becoming pro anymore until I at least beat $200 over a large samplesize.

If not, then I have to grind these for a living, starting in November the latest - with whatever bankroll and whatever skills I have by then.

Therefor, I really hope to crush the $60's within the next 2-3 weeks and see whether I can play $100's in September.

Good luck with the job interview, Jack! Good to have that day job for backup. I like your attitude there. You have a good head on your shoulders and u r a nice guy. Fwiw, I think u have what it takes to make it as a poker pro.

Me, I have a day job (consulting), with flex hours, so I can play poker AND have that day job. My goal is to become a semi-pro. That way, I'm not dependent on poker or a day-job. As for becoming a full-on pro, I'd have to beat min. 100's and the politics of poker have to be figured out (i.e. are poker players going to be segregated by country, intra-state etc.).
