No, it is a good bit more than that but it is irrelevant anyway since I play online primarily.
I don't think it is really a problem to blow a lot of your income when you are young (pro gambler or not) but I don't think it is good to be engaging in degen gambling activities. In the Mark Blade book, the number one characteristic of a long-term poker pro is lack of a propensity to gamble. As a pro gambler I think you should be actively trying to establish a healthier relationship with gambling, which probably means no BJ and sports gambling at all. The long irregular sessions are almost as bad. Personally I just play everyday when I don't have other plans, and mostly go out drinking after I play. I think you'll find a regular schedule increases win rate and overall health.
I've played a ton of 2-5 at the Borgata, do you go by Machmood at the table? I don't remember hearing the name but I am sure we have played together.
