Sup guys, I don't really know if this is the right place to put this, but i guess it is news.

Well, a week ago at work (health club) I was watching poker on one of the t.v's and basically just said "eff it, I am going pro". Yesterday was my last day, and so now I guess I am really a pro.

I have played a little poker before, in home games, and online, but figured, If I wanna go pro I should get some help, so I'm gunna start posting here.

My Poker Background :

We play poker w/ friends about once every two weeks, usually a 10$ buy in. I usually win 1st or second. Alot of these guys are not very good, but I have won 4 of the last 3, so I guess it is not all luck.

Also, I have played online w/ play chips and cash. The cash went down the drain really fast. I deposited 80$ I think on ultimat bet, and lost it all on a suckout when some guy called me with 89 on suite, without any pair, just a draw. So after that I was stuck playing play chips, and got board of it after I got it up to like 6 million.

Also, I have watched a bunch of poker shows, like high stakes poker, and WSOP, so I see some of the high-end plays these guys are making, so I figure I can use them when I am playing now. I'll prolly read some books like the one by Doyal Brunson later this summer.

Here is my Plan

I have about 500$ cash right now, and another $600 in the bank. I will turn 21 in 2 months and will be able to play live. I figure for now, I will take the $600 in the bank and try to get it up to about $5,000 online. Then take the 5k and play live when I turn 21, maybe even go to the WSOP if I am doing well.

I think I am good at no limit, so I think I will play the cash games for 100$ buy in (1 dollar blind), maybe play some 100$ sit and go's.

I feel if I can avoid the suckouts, I will be very successful. Anyway, if you guys could give me some tips, awesome! Ill update my career later this week after I deposit the 600$

Your bankroll is more than sufficient and your experience shows that you are a long term winner. You should definitely do it. All you have to do is avoid the suck outs. You need to develop your ability to sense when the RNG in the poker site's computer will spit out a bad beat card.

It's easy to go pro. Anyone can do it. You can take time to learn the deep intricacies of the game after you make a little money.

When I hit 30 mil in play chips on stars I knew it was my time to make a move. I'm now a pro play chip player who plays at the highest limits.
