I'm currently making about $600/week playing 10,000+ hands of $0.10/$0.20 blind NL ring on Prima and NL$25 on BoDog. Speaking of BoDog I hope you're taking full advantage of the unlimited %10 reload bonus. I start every session of BoDog with a $200 buy in and end every session by cashing out everything. The cashouts are so fast that I can cashout before bed and the $$ is always in my Neteller account by morning. That extra $20/day can add up at the end of the month. At your stakes you could make an extra $50/day easily. PM me if you want details on clearing the bonus.
In the long term I've made over $30,000/year for the last 2 years, and I've never had more than $3,000 in my bankroll. I have no other source of income and I was married for the last 2 years and had a wife who didn't work and a stepson. When your risk of ruin has to be zero and you have over $2,000/month in living expenses it can be extremely difficult to build up a bankroll and move up in limits. It seemed like whenever I started to build a roll something would happen to cost me $$. $1,000 for a root canal , $1,000 for a new transmission, getting evicted and having to move cost us a shitload, being in Jail over some BS the list goes on. I know these things are just a normal part of life, but it's what makes being a pro with no outside source of income, no medical coverage or retirement plan so difficult. An old pro told me when I started playing "This is a hard way to make an easy living kid", now I know what he meant. Things are easier now I'm single again, all I do is play poker and work out.
I figure you made well over $50,000 in the last 6 months, that's awesome for someone still in college. I dropped out in my final year to play poker full time. I regret it because I left myself no outs. I have to play poker now to make decent $$ because I can only get shitty jobs. If I had finished my degree I could choose between poker and IT jobs or a combination of both.
Keep up the good work and good luck at the tables!!
