I'm sure most people on this site would love to be a pro in poker, but I'm also sure most people on this site play for enjoyment. My take on it is make sure you are having fun first. if you aren't having fun you won't have the drive to constantly work at it and make yourself better. Even if you are making good money on the side with poker, it is another ball game entirely living off your earnings in poker. I personally would not want to be relying on my bank role for living expenses unless if I was bankrolling deep with a lot of money (1mil+). Even then, I would make sure I had a more stable source of income (like a nice healthy investment account paying safe returns)
