Sup yall. I have a question. I have looked and looked and maybe its because its been so late at night when I get home from work, but I can't for the life of me find an answer to this question. So, my question is 1-2k a realistic ammount to make in a month for a novice-moderate player. Ive been playing for a lil over 2 years, but have never really been serious about it. I have read multiple books and countless online articles and such on holdem. I am confident in my knowledge. The main thing I need to do now is practice. Ive only really played sit n gos and mtt. I have not read much on cash games. I only play nl holdem. The thing is I want to go to college. A nice college. Texas Tech to be exact. The tuition is 10k a mo with housing/food. I'm sure I can some loans, however what I want to do is put my self through college playing holdem. Im 21 and I didnt get to go to college when I graduated h/s like I wanted because my mom was in an accident and had to have both knees/hips replaced aswell as some other things. So basicly ive been her nurse the past 2 years. It sucked but I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her so whatever. Ive paid that debt is how I look at it. SO now its time for me to go on about my buisness. I wish I would have played more holdem these past 2 years...but I didnt and no point in looking at the past.

So with that being said, if you are still reading this THANK YOU for wanting to help.
Heres what I want to accomplish.

I need to be in college no later then fall 2010. By that time I need to be making a minimum of 3k mo. I have a $10 hr job atm 40 hrs week. So I want to start playing on the side.
Is this possible? Am I being unrealistic? How many hours/day would I need to play to make 3k+mo? How much does the average low/med stakes online nl holdem player make? Whats the average ROI in low/med stakes sitngos/mtt?

Basicly what im trying to do is devise a plan and set goals. I dont think im being unrealistic, but I want to make sure. And I want to know what I need to do to get where I want to be.
Thank you for reading this and thanks for the help/advice you give. I just dont see anyone mentioning how much they make playing low/med stakes online.
