I am very new to the online world of poker (I have been playing since Oct. 2006). Due to a unique financial situation I do not have to work. So I am going to start playing poker full time. I will post everything that happens here, in this thread. It will be a way for me to keep track of the evolution of my own game, as well as a way to get feedback from other more experienced players. I am up about three hundred dollars since I began playing. Went through some very bad losses early on, due to my game just being bad. But have been able to bring myself back into the black. I will be putting $500 into my Full Tilt account to start off (looking to take advantage of the Bonus offer). My goal is to play at least eight 55 minute sessions a day, starting out at the 10NL tables. I am going to start over there, build my bankroll, then after maybe a month there move up to 25NL. I also like to play in tournies. So I will more likely than not play two tournies a day, maybe a sNg or two as well. I do not have Poker Tracker or any other tool yet, but am considering getting it once I have my bankroll up to $650, then to take the BR up to $1500 by the end of January. Anything that you guys and gals think might be helpful to me post up. Look forward to hearing from you. BTW I play a very loose and aggressive game.

Are you actually counting on poker to support you? Or are you already secure enough that it doesn't matter if you lose? Because if you are relying on poker income this way you're gambling with your life. Either way, best of luck to you.
Problem with poker as a fulltime income is that when it goes well you might seem secure, but I've heard of so many horror stories even from established pros that hit a rut.. for example: http://www.highstakes.nu/forum/Topic8282-17-1.aspx

if you have no other source of income... play it honest w/ your taxes.
if you have such lofty goals (1500 by feb at a $10 table) and want to play so much...
learn what variance means.
become anal about bankroll management.
dont move up before you are ready for the 2 above reasons.
and good luck...MAKE IT HAPPEN!!

LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.
Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!
