I can't believe this is a serious post.. This BVF is a college man.. Intelligent, educated.. Isn't he? He is, right?

Well.. In case you're serious.. If you want to get to some goal.. $100/day for example.. You need to be willing to put a-lot of time into learning the game.

You have to work your way up.. You haven't even mentioned what limit you're going to play, I don't think you have.. $100/day doesn't sound like a-lot, but when you look at the number of hours you're really willing to spend while you're learning and then once the new wears off, the rake, variance, etc.... $100/day takes time to work up to.. Unless you're ready to bleed away tens of thousands of dollars while you're busy learning.

Many of the best players out there end up broke.. because no matter how good you are, there are going to be times you'll run bad for a week.. a month.... one time it'll be a year and BLAM. You need to go and do the research, do the math.

First of all ... you should have (completely liquid disposable money) hundreds of x the BB of whatever limit you're going to play.. especially if you're playing NL.

Stop playing the fake money games. Stop now. All you're doing is folding all of the time and being paid off every time you make a hand because you're surrounded by maniacs who didn't pay a buy-in. They'll never pay you off like that at real tables. And if you fold all of the time at the drop of a hat, they'll run over you. Badly. Fake money games will never help your real money game!
