Default Re: What are your goals with poker?

To make enough in the next year (~30k from now until next August) to be able to buy a house in Argentina and support myself there playing poker and capitalizing on the low exchange rate. Sell that investment once it appreciates, repeat at another country with a low exchange rate.

That brings up a question. I've got basically November-July to play, can spare about 20 hours per week if I need, bringing me up to ~ 20h/w x 9m x 4wk/m = 720 hrs. So I need to make about 30,000/720 = $42/hour.

Can someone break down for me how feasible this is? Keep in mind my roll will start very small ($100-$200), and I can only beat the 25 NL at FTP with confidence right now. I am, however, devoted to learning, and I've started breaking down the game lately in pursuit of this goal. Could someone give me a reasonable time frame for moving up limits and the amount I would make in each span of time to reach the goal? I've played a ton of hands of poker (probably near 100k), but I've just never scrutinized the game like I am now, so I expect to learn pretty fast.

If anyone could PM me some sort of reasonable time frame, or just the opinion that this goal is pretty impossible, each would REALLY help me out. Thanks.
