Poker really interests me, I am nowhere near decent but understand the basics.
Now a very recent idea has been going through my mind alot and has been motivating me; what if I try to learn how to play poker very well, read storys, blogs, strategy's, theories. Watch tournaments and play myself (no money, just for experience), I think that should end up making me able to make a profit. Now I know online poker (my main goal) has become way way harder, and now I'm wondering; can I make a living off of it? I have 2 years to learn alot and become more experienced. And of course I don't want to become the next Dan bilzerian, but my goal is around 2-5k a month (of course not immediately but eventually). I don't particularly have a passion or talent or job I want to do (I really don't want to work 9-5). Is what I am trying to achieve realistic? At first I was really motivated and was certain this would be my path, but then I realised that it's not as simple as I made it to be. I mean of course I won't be any more good than any other person studying poker a bit. Is there any chance for me to achieve this dream?

Hello,
I turned 16 a month ago.
