Re: Question re Turning Pro - When is Best?
Its all about how you file. If you file your winnings as gambling winnings then you will have a problem with a house, if it is filed a self employment then after around 2 years of steady earning you wont run into as many problems. As for the main question:
Someone playing $25-50 MTTs should basically never go "pro" in a conventional sense. Build your BR up to be able to play the smaller, higher buyin tournaments and sustain variance at those and be able to win at those.
Learn a trade or something and don't mortgage your future on poker (no pun intended). You keep saying that your earning potential is low as is but you are looking at it wrong. Yes its low right now but that doesn't mean it has to stay low forever, learn a trade, gain employable skills and increase your earning potential. Keep poker as supplemental income and profit.
