I started keeping closer records just a few days ago. Since I am keeping records, I quit destracting side activities and concentrated on the tournaments. So far, I have a 3rd, 2nd, 3rd, and 1st out of the four I have played. This gives me an average net win of $8/STT. I can play two a day easily and still do my regular things, like work, eat, etc. At $16/day, I will be up to $10 STTs in 16 days and then start winning $32/day. Likewise, to $20 in 16 more days, to $50 in 20 days, and to $100 in 16 days. So, in a little over two months I will be making $320/day or $9600/month. Then I can cut back from the breakneck pace of ~2 hours a day EVERY day and play only 5 days a week, 48 weeks a year (most of regular "work" week time free to do whatever, 4 weeks off a year in the tropics) and still pull in $77k a year. Piece of cake. Why isn't everybody relaxing in the sun more?
