Default Something else to consider...

Since you're playing for a living, but you're only planning on playing certain days out of the week, why not try to get more weekend action? I would imagine that Fridays, Saturdays, AND Sundays are much better for action as opposed to any weekday.

Just something to consider.

It's encouraging to hear others with similar thoughts. I too am taking some time off this summer and will be playing at a pro/semi-pro level. It doesn't seem to be extremely difficult to accomplish a reasonable annual income via low stakes multi-table play (I currently play 10 tables simultaneously).

Definitely keep up posted on your progress.

10 tables??? Holy crap - what site(s) do you play on? How many hands do you play per week or month?

That is a LOT of poker. I guess at low limits where it so mechanical, you can get away with it. I'd love to see your numbers. What are you, around 16% VPIP, I bet?

Actually, let me clear this up. I'm not "playing for a living" in the traditional sense. My salary is paid out over the whole year, so I'll still be getting a pay check every two weeks even though I'm not working.

I'm not playing for grocieries or anything like that. But is a serious source of secondary income and it is going to be my total focus during those couple of months.

I have ABSOLUTELY no desire or intention of taking this past the point of a really cool "summer job." I feel good about it knowing that I won't have the pressure of trying to make ends meet playing poker.

This is the perfect situation to give it a real shot. I think you're going to do well.
