give it a shot when and only when you are losing money by going to the day job. It is a slow transition.

How do you really know when that moment comes ? My win rate over 1200 hrs. is $19/hr but that's with the luxury of just picking my spots when to play. How much of a dropoff should I factor in by having to play a set number of hours ?

If that's your winrate, you shouldn't even think about playing fulltime. In my book, poker is just a recreational thing for you. You don't even qualify as a semi-pro.

That's a pretty ridiculous mindset when US minimum wage is less than $6/hr and many people in other countries are making less.
