I'm looking to get back into the game of poker again, after taking about a 5 month hiatus (besides a successful trip to Turning Stone) and a little bit of Full Tilt playing. I have just deposited $400 onto Pokerstars with their 25% reload bonus and sent my buddy $30 because he wanted to play some tournaments.

I have been playing since I was 16, and have made a few thousand playing poker. I love the game and look to make some money. I want to buy a car this summer and will be looking to get an internship, so I'd like to be able to buy the car outright. (Parents said they will give me about 4K. Hopefully the offer is still on the table with the economy taking such a hit).

I'm a full time college student with a part time job, so I'm going to try and play 8-10 hours a week. Does anyone know how many hands it will take to get 2000FPP for my bonus playing $10NL? I've seen people do calculations, just not sure how to do it.

Also I am thinking about purchasing pokertracker. I used the trial over the summer, and needless to say the trial is up. And I cannot see myself multi-tabling without pokertracker.
