Goal
$50,000 profit by the end of the year.

Why $50,000?
This amount of money will give me at least 2 years worth of expenses to give professional playing a shot (life nit). I also need to see if I put in a lot of volume like I have been begging myself to do for the last few years, that indeed I can make a living off playing.

How?
I will mainly be doing this playing mainly online MTTs from $5-$26 and $3r-$11r (also throw in some 45 and 90 mans if I feel like supplementing my volume). I feel this is the best chance to exponentially grow my bankroll in this short amount of time. I will also be playing live 1/2 and 2/5 at local casino with my life roll (not taking out of bankroll) and majority of winnings will be included with my bankroll.
One important thing that will determine if I am successful is of course being able to bink, but most importantly, I will need to be able to maintain control and not tilt as I have gone on to take shots as high as 5/10 and 3/6 online with just over the min buy in as my bankroll in the past.

Is this possible?
Recently was in Vegas staying with a friend from school that plays professionally and realized that the fundamentals that I have developed over the years and my thinking process is at a level where I am more than capable to play at a much higher level than I have throughout my life.
While there I was able to play about 4 sessions of 1/2 cash, 6 tournaments (including a wsop event) and 1 session of 5/10 cash at the Rio. Overall I made about 6.5k and it was a great experience. I really love to play live and my overall goal will be to play solely live once the bankroll gets to a very comfortable amount.

What next?
If I get this $50,000 I will be taking $10,000 + whatever else is in my life roll and making that my bankroll and putting $40,000 aside for expenses that can not be touched except for bill payments, food, and other life expenses.
At this point I will move to Las Vegas and try to make a living grinding live cash and playing MTTs online (most likely on a 70% Online/30% live basis).

Stats as of 06/15/2010

Good Luck to you sir.

Gl gl

good luck

Gl!

gl, wish i had those skills, could get the life i actually wanted

high volume will make you go crazy, especially if its your sole source of income. i suggest playing a reasonable volume and getting a part time job to keep you sane and prevent you going broke.

its nice to have a back up plan instead of committing the next 2 years of your life on something your friend said

Best of luck to you!

Good luck

well the goal is to put 50k aside for expenses and what not for two years, and realistically i will be planning on spending around 40k for two years of expenses + 10k for uncounted for expenses, so hopefully thats a safe amount to grind worry free.

glgl with ur goals. if u ever want some help learning mtts hit me up . see u at the tables and best of luck.

I have not played since I made this post, so today I will be running a session (since the gf has to work tonight). I will be playing pretty much anything from $5-$26 from 16:00 - 21:00 tonight and hope that I can make a couple fts... gl me

well todays sesh didnt go that well, i think i ended up even for the most part with the biggest cash coming 13th/~900 in the $11 6 max cashout on FTP where i ran my QQ into the monster KQ btn vs. SB... he open shoved btn ~25 bb and I snapped off with QQ and had i held I woulda been 2nd in chips with 12 left but nope lol

i also cashed in the msop event today and made a fairly deep run in the $5 2r1a on stars...
