This is a great thread for me. I've talked with Nikki in the past about eventually playing "full-time". What I'm unsure about is doing it by grinding out the cash games or grinding SNGs.

Regardless of the method I choose, I have already set goals that must be reached before I can even begin to seriously think about making this move. First off: bank roll MUST hit $20K. $10K of this would come out and be stashed away in a savings acct for months where earnings would not cover expenses.

The advantage for us would be that someone would always be home with Alex so child care would cease to be an issue.

Another possibility is working part-time and playing part-time. Haven't set down any real numbers for that to work yet though. But with my success rate at the $16SNGs on Stars it really wouldn't take MUCH more elevation to my play. (Not an increase in skill, just an increase in hours/SNGs played). I've got what I consider a pretty decent ITM/ROI rate on these since January at 44/30. Granted the sample thus far is fairly small (only logging about 100/month) but seems pretty consistent month-to-month.
