Re: going pro
oh, by NO means am I quitting my job! LOL I think you guys have the wrong impression. First off, it was only a question.
to answer yours, I'm NOT even thinking of trying to be a pro. I am winning, but not high enough stakes to sustain the lifestyle I choose when and IF I do make that decision.
I'm currently making around $100/hr in the smaller games bc I know I can and do crush them. I make less than that from my day job and this is more or less a hobby.
I've got 3 months living expenses in savings (investment fund). So that isn't immediately available, but I could get a hold of it if needed.
I've played roughly 1.5M hands and I'm up overall. The last 500k have been where I'm really trying to be the best student of this game I can be.
I think that you all think that I want to take a shot. I don't! I really just want to retire and live off of some other investments. I don't see myself as a "pro," but still a pro. Think Jerry Buss or Larry Flynt (except I don't make porn) only not to that extent.
I see poker as a huge challenge. One of my first challenges was a Rubix cube when I was little. They've only grown bigger since.
And what's this Salazar thing? I don't get it.
