Questions about becomming a pro blackjack player

[FieryJustice]

Online poker is sucking for me now so I figured id go back and work on my blackjack game. Last year at the wsop I was counting and playing well (and running well) and won $40,000 from the 2 deck game at the rio. Since then, I have learned that they have a 2 deck game at mgm where you can double after splits. I think the house edge is something like .25% off the top.

So, here are my questions. Using a simple hi lo counting, is it possible to get a large enough edge in the $200 minbet game in the mgm casinos to win 1 minbet per hour? How big of swings should I expect, betting a 1-5 spread? 1-10 spread? Should I use a comp card while I am playing, assuming I will be playing at a different mgm casino every day? It would suck badly to get banned. I plan on studying some of my bj books and practicing at home for a few days then might make the jump to the real games. If I am forgetting anything, please let me know. Also, are there any good forums out there where I could learn anything else I might be missing? Thanks.
