Re: Going pro
Hopefully you have living expenses saved up. Depending on poker to eat can be incredibly stressful. I played as my sole source of income for a little less than 2 years. I don't know what my combined winrate over that time was (I filled up several DBs) but I crushed the old party. My hourly earn has dropped significantly since the [censored]-storm, and I'm glad I now have a nice day job to eat up the insane variance.
Also, remember, that if you pay yourself 2BB/100, your winrate is not 3.5BB/100. It's 1.5BB/100. If you pay yourlelf 3.5BB/100, your winrate is 0, and without an infinite bankroll, YOU WILL GO BROKE SOMEDAY, or have to move down.
Anyways,
good luck.
