Ok I'm gunna put this out there.
I'm considering quitting my team leader retail job & supporting myself with poker (to some extent at least) for a while until I find a better job or longer if it goes well.
I am 28, luckily have no mortgage or car payments & about £5k in savings
Started playing about 3 or so years ago & was a typical beginner who I like to think has gradually improved
My problem whilst working has been a lack of volume but I spend lots on time watching videos & on 2plus2 etc. Trouble is I only make about 6/7k hands amonth because I only play 2/3 tables 6max 25NL & go days without playing
If I wasn't working I could do 25/30k hands a month definitely I think
I was hammering 10NL but struggled to adapt to 25NL for a while. It wasn't scared money, the opposite infact. I found it hard to release a hand with so much money out there & preflop betsizings were a pain etc.
I barely played a hand November through January because of work & other commitments & losing a few buyins @25NL didn't help but started again in Feburary & here are my graphs since I changed my screenname about September 2013

25NL Last 5 wks
I withdrew a small amount before Xmas at some point but my bankroll is about $950 right now.
Ideally, I'd like keep winning at 25NL for another 10k hands or so until my roll is a few buyins over $1k & take a shot @50NL where the plays SEEMS somewhat the same standard
This isn't a idea thats come to me after a couple of good sessions, I may actually try this
Any thoughts?
Thanks
