^ Yeah, $20K is an overkill, $1K-2K is probably fine. I'm in a better spot here in mother Russia because the country has become piss poor and live courses now cost like $150 a month. Correspondingly, salaries for office jobs are also terrible, that's why I was talking about freelancing as an expat into (or a citizen of) a developing country as an efficient way to outsource yourself (earn decently while spending little).
I've heard that it's typical for a US programmer to earn $100K+
after tax but not everyone has a realistic chance for a green card without becoming very good at what s/he does.

Yeah, let's 3bet the flop with a bottom pair because it's a backdoor quad draw, vamooo.
I mean, how can a random low stake reg be legitimately sure that he's 'the one' who'll be the next Ike or at least the next Barone?
Recall the Dunning-Kruger effect. I was thinking the other day that my 'super-duper theoretical insight' would lift me to the 20s-30s skillwise but, to be realistic, it will only add 'bout 3.50% to my 10s-15s ROI (which can't happen at Stars, though) and even not be enough to move me up because adjustment to each particular opponent is key and I'm naturally terrible at observation (or, if you wish, can't 3-table with the same quality as others can).
