    Goals? Online you can play a large volume of tournaments and the results will average out.

    In the B&M arena you don't have the opportunity to play 100's of events each week. You might get in 20 events a month (or a few more). You will be very lucky to find fields with big enough pay-outs to cover lots of buy-ins & consistently weak fields.

    The road is a tough life.

    If you are talking about including or playing ring/cash games, it's tough to meat expenses and make a living profit unless you have a very strong bank roll and very good A-game.

    obviously you have unrealistic goals then, its easy if you set goals you can actually achieve depending on how much volume you can put in

    If your goals are easy to achieve they are not set high enough.

    Even easy money is hard work. Not a ton of happily ever after gangsters tales...
