i want to leave my job and become a professional poker player too. If you will play poker 5-8 hours a day, for a example Holdem No Limit 10 (blinds 0.05-0.1$) you can win 300-600$ per a month

I played professionally before Black Friday in the United States.

It is possible, but if you are relatively new to the game, the goal should be to become the best player you can -- and to be constantly learning -- rather than worrying about "turning pro."

How much money you can win everyday is like 99% dependent on your bankroll. An amazing day for a .01/.02 NL player is like one buyin for a $1/$2 NL player.

Even attempting to turn pro, you should have at the very least six months money to cover ALL of your expenses, and probably at least a year's worth. And that isn't counting your playing bankroll, which, if you're playing professionally, should have at least 200-300 buyins to the game you are playing regularly.

People look at playing professionally as a very glamour lifestyle... it really isn't, its a ton of work. If you work 8 hour days at your regular job, expect to be putting in 12-16 for 5-6 days a week at least to be an online pro.

And during those 12-16 hours, you are going to be in a ton of high-stress situations that are ALL going to affect how well you eat for that month.

You can make a very good living doing it, but there's far too many people out there that think "going pro" is a very easy thing to do, and its far from it.

to earn enough money in poker you have to invest if not playing real money games for free that very few hope to win in a good position ...

That question is a hard one to answer, because my BR goes up and down, as I'm sure it does for many, if not all players. That's when my BRM comes into play. This is what I have to do. When my BR goes up, I take a shot at a little higher buy in. For example, I can try a $1.50 buy in MTT even when my buy in level is for $1 Now that is if you can stand a $1.50 loss. Never put more out there than you can stand to lose. Ok when my BR is going down, I play lower buy ins even if I have to play at the very bottom. That is what BRM is all about. What I'm trying to show you is that trying to play 8 hours a day at low levels will not get you where you want to be in a year.Even playing at $1/$2 ($200nl) without the experience will get you no where except back to the ATM more times than you want to. I'm just trying to be real with you, and you may not want to hear it, but would you like for me to sugar coat it, and give you false advice, and say go for it, because it is possible. Back to you question, and finish this. I play poker every day at $10nl and have been there a long time. If I could win $15 a day, everyday day, that would be $450 a month, and that would be great for me because I could almost live on that amount. But when I consider the downswings I know are coming, I may not be able to win $3 a day, so now that's $90 a month. And the truth is that I've had months when I was in the red $100 or more at the end. It's this simple and I will shut up. Take you time, be patient, use the advice other players give you from their experience, and put all you can into learning the game to fit your style, which you will have to put together yourself. Sorry so long GL to you

Thank you! Very interesting and informative answer.
