What should i do?

I bet sports so this is not uncommon but i'm try to put in more hours playing poker. It's kind of cool when you lose a 500 bet and it doesn't cost anything because you made 700 playing poker. After the NFL playoffs are done I will turn my attention full time to poker.

I have played for my only source of income @ Borgata when i lived in NJ. This was only for a short time (6 months). I a have played online for a few years as well. Results are mixed. I have turned 500 into 10k at leat a dozen times, but back then i had major tilt issues. I don't tilt anywhere near as much anymore. I have a very good paying job where I control what I make. This money is extra so it makes playing a lot easier. I have been pretty locked in playing poker and have made about 2300 @ 100nl. Suggestions anyone???

PS I'm slamming the Baltimore Ravens -7.5 every which way. That will be at least 1000 bet.

Ok this is my goal.

To have 15,000 by April 1st.

This is just not poker. I will also be betting football and an occasional basketball game.
I will be 4 tabeling 100 NL until i reach 12,000 and then i will move to 200 NL. If i fall back to 10,000 then i will move down to 100 NL. I have no problem playing 200NL but my biggest concern is not tilting. I need to be able to lose 4 buy ins and not let it upset me. I tend to get pissy when i lose 2 bi's within a 5 min stretch. Like i said befor it makes it easier that this money is cool, but i have a solid job where i make a lot more.

If you're not doing it for an income you can move up a lot faster. But if being overrolled helps you tilt a lot less it's probably worth it.
You can/should also institute a 2 buyin stoploss where you'll take a break before playing again.
