Hi guys soo this is my first post. Welcome and thanks for looking!
I'll get right to the details and BS later!

OK so I quit my sales job to play for 4-6months while I'm in school to be a dealer. My 6month living fund is covered so far and I have about $9k left to play 2/5NL with.

My plan is to play 3-5 days a week at at a poker room that's open 10am-2am with a 2k high hand bonus every hour for the first 3hrs.
My buy-in is max $500 and the plan was to cash out when I'm up $300-$500 but the problem I'm having is I bring $1k with me and keep adding on $100-$300 when I lose a pot and if I lose the whole buy-in I rebuy $500 so I'm risking $1k and only winning $300-$500 a day. ADVISE PLEASEEEEEE.

I also plan on putting $1k back into the living fund each month and everything else goes into the bankroll if I'm up for the month.
I use poker journal if anyone needs my bankroll stats or has questions as well.

Soooo the BS part- Okay well I've been playing poker in general for about 8 years and studying the game reading the twoplustwo books. My friend who lives in Vegas now as a professional was helping me out until about a year ago. I used to play while intoxicated and now that I have a clear head for 2years clean and sober,I want to have a fair shot at this! So I quit and now the challenge begins.

Also if anyone needs help I'll do my beat to answer your concerns as well.

Hope everyone enjoys the post and has some great feedback!

Play longer when you are winning. Don't stop at 300-500.

play longer when winning, short session, when nothing goes your way and you feel tilted.

9k is a little short of a roll to play a 500$ bi game, but if youre decent and dont tilt much, its probably enough for a soft live game.

try to get a bigger bankroll asap. so you can comfortably have 1k or more on the table. a lot of the money live comes from deepstacked spots vs fish

what about the rake in this game? in europe oftentimes, rake is so high in cashgames that its impossible to win big even if youre a crusher...

gl for your challenge
