Lol, I'm hesitant to even answer this question. Just to set the record straight, I'm not REALLY going pro, just trying to make enough to get by while I look for a great job.

To answer your question though, it's only going okay.

I've been keeping my bankroll even and then pocketing whatever money I make beyond my bankroll (I spent the first two weeks just trying to get my bankroll even). I've heard that I should instead pay myself an hourly wage, but I don't want to lower my bankroll until I know I can actually do this. My monthly nut is a little less than $2,000. I've only pocketed $800 so far, but my bankroll is currently even. I've won $2,000 in one weekend before, hopefully I can hit another rush before the month is through. But anyway, thankfully my finanical situation isn't too dire. I can last until the winter before I have to start using my bankroll. Hopefully I won't have to settle for a crappy job before that happens.

Thanks for asking though.
