Complete calculation
Ok now I'm going to get into the real nitty gritty of the math. Assuming that all of your food expenses are covered by comps and assuming that you have a $100,000 loan at 10% APR for 3 years, here is what I come up with for a list of expenses:
Your monthly payment will be $3226.72. Total interest will be $16,161.87.
Rent $500/month (sharing with one other person)
Utilities $100
Health Insurance $200
Car insurance $80
(Clothes, Doc visits, gas, car repairs, other misc) $200/month
Total : $1080 (If I'm missing anything big let me know)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Total expenses including monthly loan payments $4306.72

Income -
With 1% edge and 1% ROR over the course of 240 days playing 8 hours a day average here is what I get with that bankroll
1 unit =$58
average bet = 2.9676 units = $172.12
betting $172.12/hand average and 60 hands/hr. = ($172.12*60 hands *.01 (edge)*1920 hours (total hours played during year) = $198,283 /year =$16,523.60/month
$16,523.60 - $4306.72 (expenses) = $12,216.90 profit per month
This leaves you with $12,216.90 in case you don't do as well that month as you'd expect. Even if you do have a horrible month and lose money, you can still recover. I think though that over the course of 115,200 hands a year, variance shouldn't be that big of an issue and you should easily be within 1 SD. Other things to note. I think the 1% edge could be higher and it's possible to play more than 60 hands/hr. So I consider this to be a conservative estimate. IF you feel there are things missing from my calculations, feel free to let me know what they are and I'll adjust it.
