I was expecting to post this sooner but this month profit was the worsest off all months i played at PKR But due too a nice reload payout i reached finally 10K (for some reason rakeback dont deduct my reload 100% only 50% but shhhhhhh )
Here is my story:
I started playing with my free $25 at Party from BRM. After 2 weeks i busted my first roll and was very sad lol Then i deposit $75 on Full Tilt but wasnt very lucky, played regular SNG played ultra tight and did break even, so only cleared my bonus money. Then i went too SunPoker (Cryptologic Network) cos i get $10 free if i deposit there. I discovered the ''Double Or Nothing'' SNG who boosted my BR very nice After that (1 month) went too Ladbrokes (1 off the best sites i ever played) and cleared a first deposit bonus $500.
At the same time i got 2 No Deposit Bonusses from BRM, Action Poker and Vulcan Poker, at Action i boosted too allmost $500 and Vulcan $100.
After Ladbrokes my BR was sometin like $2,500 and went too PKR with a nice first deposit bonus $600 Also getting 30% rakeback there whats for me average $200/$250 a month (free). Cos i was playing many hours there, i was high in a ranking leaderboard what gives me also $200/$250 a month. At PKR i play mostly $10 Doubles SNG and some phase SNG (steps). So now i reached finally $10K in 10 month off poker online.
I calculated what % of my BR is profit/rakeback/bonus/points and its sometin like this: Profit $5,500 Bonus $2,000 (First/No deposit, Reload, ect) Rakeback $ 1,500 Points $1,000
So this is my story, my goal is now the grind too hopefully 20K end off this year. After that i want to try to play higher stakes regular SNG.

Wow high standard you must have a good company if 250K$ is minimum before you make the career change.

I hope to do 100K$ this year
Its very save for me cos i never cashout, so with 20K i will play $50 stakes, 40K then $100 stakes ect, so very save, i cant go bust (imo). But i not gonna change my whole life for $10K a month. Poker for now is basicly a hobby, like it very much, first goal is 20K, then i will invest more time and money (=training) to set higher goals.

My point was your company must give you a good yearly profit of 250K$ or more if you only want to go pro if you can make more than that. I mean if your company made lets say 100K$/year and you could make 150K$ in poker wouldn't you change to poker?
"Wow 100K thats semi-pro, very nice"
No it's pro I don't work but I know what you mean.
