    I've been playing amature poker for 3 years but I have finally taking the jump to play pro poker. I've quit my job after building a sufficent bankroll for 1/2 - 2/4 NL and $50 sngs and mtts.

    For those who have already walked this path please share some advise so I don't fall flat on my face. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks guys,

    CaperBii

    This seems like a great time to depend on internet poker as a career!

    No shit. It's the equivalent of making a move and pushing in your whole stack with A-7 from the SB when the BB has AA. Real bad timing. GG American online poker.

    playing sunday only mtt schedule is a good way to make you quit mtts after a couple months. sundays, while you can win the most, are also the hardest days to be successful because of the huge fields. throw in a lower variance tournament day during the week to keep yourself sane and your endgame sharp
