Hi RIO Community,

as the title suggests I really want to go pro abroad. But I really want to distinct myself from all these wannabees who got lucky once and now think they can win again and again. I'm not looking for an easy way to make my living. I know that it requires discipline, Hard work and endurance. And I'm not looking for easy money because it isn't easy.

If I wanted to get some easy money I would just finish my apprenticeship and work in that area. It wouldn't be hard and I'm pretty confident that this would be an acceptable way of living. That's also why I'm not putting all my eggs in one basket and I'm still going to finish my apprenticeship.

Meanwhile though I will grind up a BR that I want to use in whichever country I go to+money for my life expenses.
And here comes my first question: How big of a Bankroll do I need to have a serious shot at going pro?

I estimate it to be around 30000$. Is that a good estimation?
20000$ for 100 Stacks NL200 and 10000$ to cover my life expenses.

If it fails I would still have my plan B which is to go back to Germany and get a normal Job.

*There are still things I need to know:
-Is my plan realistic or is it doomed to fail?
-How much Money Do I Need to put aside Every Month to Pay for my retirement pay?
-Game selection: I wanted to Play NLHE but I'm Not convinced that it has a good Future. How healthy will The Games be in 5-10 Years?
-Which Country can you recommend for grinding Poker?
-How Many taxes Do I Need to Pay?
-What Happens if I get sick: Will I Need to pull Money out of my Poker BR to cover my life expenses and Drop down a stake or Play at The Same stake and put Money out of my saved up 10000$ Life Roll?
-How much Money Do I Need for medical Health care?
-Is it dangerous in other countries? Will I get robbed?
-How Do I ensure that I always Stay focused and motivated so I can Grind for Long Hours and Not Feel totally drained out although to some extent this will be unvoidable. Maybe get a comfortable chair, Do Yoga and get a Tilt Room?
-switch to PLO?

Business Plan to get These 30000$
-Time Frame: 3 Years
-How much Money Do we Need: 30000$
-How Are wie going to get this Money?
1. Stop eating at Mc donalds: 5$ saved Every day=5400$ in 3 Years
2. Grind Poker Every day for 4 Hours: Lets assume we make 6bb/100hands at nl10 zoom and we Play 1k Hands/hr so our hourly is around 6$=24$ per day=720$ per Month=8640$ yearly=25920$
3. But we will Move up to nl25 nl50 nl100 and eventually so our Profit will be Even higher.
4. We Need to Grind some Poker theory: Post 10 Hands Daily and analyze one Hand deeply per day.
5. Once wie Hit nl50 we will hire a coach because an increase of 1bb in our winrate will net us 20$ per day
6. HAVE A NICE SLEEP SCHEDULE: always go to bed at 10pm!!! Even if
7. I think about Girls and How to get a gf. This things will come later, Do wie want to get Rich or just have some stupid grill Who can only Cook and Look pretty?
8. Be generous with myself: Don't Go Crazy if things don't Go As planned. Things will Not Go our way sometimes but wie have a Lot of Time to realize our Goal.
9: Don't ignore The apprenticeship: If I absolutely Need to study for my apprenticeship im gonna absolutely do it.
10. Update this Thread daily but don't Post $$ Results because it's Not important!!
