"How do you know you are ready to go professional?
Hi Phil,

Over the past year I have become so intrigued with Texas Hold �Em I have become a student of the game. I do have one question though. How do you know when you are ready to go professional? I know that I am not good enough to do this right now but, how do you determine when you are?
Good Luck!

Jason,

First you need to crush the low limit games online, or in the real world. Once you can consistently crush them, then you need to consistently beat the mid-limit games (5-10 to 15-30). When you have $20,000 in cash, then you've already become a pro! Money management skills are then a big key for the rest of your life. It is important to note that many pro poker players are not happy. Many are, but it is not an easy life (A famous line in poker is It is a hard way to make an easy living!) PH"

According to Phil I am a pro with my huge balla 35k bankroll.

In any job, you're always learning and getting better. This is probably what he means by "student of the game", unless you're leveling me.
