I am considering quitting my day job where I am compensated with a $45K a year salary so that I can stay home and make a living playing online poker.
In order for this transition to work I would need to make in winnings what I made in salary, $45k, which equates to an average net profit of $126.
I would love to hear from anyone who has or knows someone who has tried to make this move. Do you think $45K is a reasonable goal for someone who plays solid poker, but by no means is a tournament pro? I usually play $30+3 SNG’s and it is not unusual for me to take down 3 in a row, but then again sometimes I won’t cash 3 in a row. I have had some tournament success in the last year, winning $4500, $1800, and $1800 in a span of 3 weeks playing PP steps where I started each time on step 1. Also I won $3k (poker stars 150+12) and $1k (FCP 30+3) in MTT’s as well. So my hope is that by sustaining a healthy daily average net profit, infused with the occasional larger tournament win I can make this work.
Right now I only play when I have free time, which is usually after 9 pm after working all day and feeling kind of run down. I am hoping that if I can play during the day, I can play with more focus and alertness which will lead to greater success.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
