						Short background on my pokerplaying career:I started playing about a year ago and lost about $60 before i ever started winning anymoney.  Since then, i built my bankroll up at stars playing $5-$20 sngs to around $1600 around DecJan '07.  I didnt play seriously the whole time and went throught spurts where i hardly played at all for a a couple months at a time.  In January i had to cash out my entire bankroll due to financial issues and went for about 2 months with out playing poker for money.
 
 In February i luckboxed my way into a win at the FTR $750 freeroll on ap and won $225.  This is where i start my real poker career i suppose, or at least hope to.  I built this bankroll up to where its at currently, about $2500 playing sngs and low buyin MTTs and a small amount of cash games (ok the cash didnt really build my roll, rather it dropped it a few buyins).
 
 Last month i set a goal of $3000 by May 1st, as this is where ill be able to play the stakes i want to play comfortably.  To make things a little more complicated however, i have to cash out money every month to supplement my gf's income to pay for rent and other bills.  I would like to be able to make about $2000 a month and keep half of it in my bankroll and half to live off of.  This all to avoid getting a job, since i really dont want one.  My gf and my entire family thinks i should get a job, but i have confidence in my poker abilities (most of the time) and think a job would be a waste of my time (woo $8/hr
  ) 
 So thats pretty much where im at right now, didnt end up being such a short introduction but thats ok.
