Hello poker players,
I would like to hear some advice on my decision to go pro. Here is the plan...I get a pention cheque that barely covers my living expenses. That being said my expenses are covered and my bankroll is seperate and for poker only. I have 15,000 dollars bankroll (fifteen thousand). I would like to play live exclusively and log about 8 rs a day, 5 days a week. I was hoping to make about 2 to 3 thousand dollars a month. At the casino I will be going to there is a tourney every day at noon for 50 dollars ( aprox 100 ppl). My plan is to play in this tourney every day and when I bust out play 1/2 no limit holdem untill I reach 8 pm or until I proffit 100 dollars for the day. 100 bucks a day proffit 5 days a week brings me to my 2000 dollar monthly goal. It sounds like a reasonable plan to me. One of my questions to you poker junkies is do you think it would be more proffitable to play in less tourneys, say cut it down to twice a week and log more hours at the 1/2 nl cash table? My other question is given my bankroll should I consider playing 2/5 no limit where losing 200 bucks in one hand is not totally uncommon. It just happened my last session at 2/5 lol I raised to 30 bucks pre flop with AK and flopped 2 pr (flopAKQ rainbow) I bet the flop and got raised all in (he had 200 to start also), So I called and he showed his J/10 straight that he donk called 30 bucks with pre flop from the button. Whatever shiat happens. Is 1/2 nl my game with my bankroll or do I need 2/5 nl to attain my monthly goals. And if 1/2 nl is my game, when should I move up? Thanks for your replies and advice.
