So JD you think it can be done this way? how many hours avg. you think?
Also I would be doing this with 25% rakeback.

I guess I am just looking for some comfirmation that this plan can work.

I am thinking of just working part time and staying home more with the kids
If I can avearge $100 a day I can bust my montly bills and then my other job would be gravy. I tend to be a winning player and know to set a stoploss
and target gain when it comes to stocks so I figure I can use the same strategy
when playing poker.

This is NOT the way to think critically about any important decision. You should be looking for evidence that this may work, but you should be looking equally hard for evidence that this is a bad idea. Which, as previous posters have stated, it is. Don't stop because you get to 100, and don't keep going if you're worn out and down and playing poorly.

And if you have such low confidence in your game that you leave a table any time you double up, you should reassess what you're doing.

yes it can be done a TON of diff. ways.

And I am with TP and Shab and every1 else - dont play to win $100 then quit. My advice was for u to try to average $100 a day - over like a year... dont worry about a few losing and a few winning days here and there... its all about long term obviously.

anyway ... just find a limit u play and beat... see wut ur bb/100 is... and try to 4 table that level for the hands u need to average what will eventually be an avg. of $100 a day.

I know that JD has had huge success lately, and is a great player, but I don't think it's just that easy to see what your bb/100 is. Unless you have a large sample, and an enormous sample for NL, you don't have a great idea of what this is, and you can't assume that you can average such a number over what seems to be a goal that you want to accomplish in the short term.
