What is X?
I think I read on here somewhere that you shouldn't be thinking of going pro unless you can make poker-wise double what you need to make outside of work p.m so as to protect yourself from variance etc.

Which means, $20/hr x 30hrs x 4 weeks = $2,400.
Half that = $1,200.

So as long as your bills are less that $1,200 a month then you should think of going pro.

Just my wild ass guess.
