OP,
I don't know if this whole thread is legit or you are just trolling and loving it.
Either way, before you even contemplate going pro..learn from my mistakes.
Have you been keeping a spreadsheet? What's your win rate? Are you tipping drink girls all night? Tipping too big to dealers you like after pots won? Know that when you're playing poker professionally, your medical insurance will increase significantly over an employee sponsored, heavily discounted plan.
Are you playing online right now on the several sites allowed in US? I imagine Harrahs new orleans and coushatta are your only real casinos to go to? If you are not regularly playing 2/5 with me or playing more than a tournament here and there, I would seriously consider building a huge bankroll before.
The fact that you came here to ask this, shows you are not ready at all. IF you "win" most times you go and don't know almost to the penny, your hourly rate and expenses and profit etc, don't even try now.
I played almost 50 hours per week live and another 20-30 online during the week.
Even 2/5 NL is very difficult to play for a living due to minimal game selection your area. It's hard to win enough per hour to really crush the game.

If you've read any of my previous post you know that I'm not intending to troll anything. I understand the chances of making it successful or high but I do know that I've been playing for a while and I know what I'm capable of doing at the table given the opportunity
I've never kept spreadsheets like I said earlier I play maybe 1015 times a year I'm some weekends two nights in a row. But I don't drink on at the table so no I'm not tipping the waitresses a lot of money in my tips on pots are very small even given the big wins.
I have read a few books and I do know a lot about the game such as pot odds and expected value like I've been trying to say in this whole post I have been contemplating it obviously if I decided to make that decision I would research it more before I jump in and take a few test runs
