[...] http://www.notedpokerauthority.com/articles/going-pro-part-2-of-3.html [...]

I read your article on going pro, I am in school but have loans out about $2,500 total. i pay $50 each month for them, I am pretty good at poker i win in cash games at least 85% of the time in foxwoods, $1/$2 NL-Holdem Max buyin $300 min $60. I have won at least $1200 there this past month only going there 5 times. I work at a bar on Fridays and Saturdays nights and generate an income of about $300 for both nights. I have read Super System2, Caro book of tells, and varied online articles. So, I am good at reading people and never play online games. I only have about $500 dollars saved up to this point, could I make a legitimate run at Pro Poker even part time with a starting bankroll so small.

Hey I won 10k in a week playing $5-$10 NL with max buy in of 100….So I have a good bankroll but the swings can be tough…I am beginning to lose…I lost 2k online and 2k at the casino the past 2 days…I am beginninig to wonder if I should keep it up…Alot of the players sucked out on me and broke me…Its very hard emotionally and physically…I am starting to doubt my game…I have been playing steady for 8 years and read all the books but bad beats with donkeys really put me on tilt sometimes…
