GL Claudio, I truly mean it. And what follows is not a slight in any way, but I feel like someone has to be voice of reason in this thread.
It is straight up insane and LOL-crazy to think that you are going to be "playing poker for a living" at the stakes you play. I'd say the minimum requirements before one should go "pro" is 6-12 months of living expenses saved up, not part of your bankroll. I think you'd need 2-3 years of play to establish your actual ROI/hourly rate. You need to be earning probably 1.5-2X your monthly expenses in poker (this includes everything, rent, insurance-health, car, renters, etc, ALL bills (and if you haven't on your own before you'll be surprised at all the fucking bills), all expenses). Your bankroll has to be able to survive a several month downswing. Playing poker as your only source of income and depending upon that income to live is fucking stressful and hard. Why do you think most (all?) pros invest most of their winnings in real estate, market, etc?
Stay at home to save money, get a job, and play poker on the side.
